Power trainer tool

Hello anyone...
I have an idea in creating a power meter by myself...
It's attached in my trainer, connected to generator that will be measured by Ampere and volt meter...it will be connected to the DA converter...and the output will be read in my Laptop...
Anyone has an experience with it ?

The crux of the question is whether knowing your power output accurately in absolute terms is important to you. If it is then the only real answer is to get a proper powermeter such as a Powertap or SRMs. If what interests you is mainly measuring relative improvements in power output and you can live with a bit of inaccuracy, then there's little point in trying to calibrate a turbo. That doesn't stop many people from doing it - I know loads of people who have played around with calibrating turbos using Powertaps and the like - but they are usually motivated by academic interest in seeing the comparison rather than a belief that this is a route to transforming their training.

That's the thing with the power meter, it matters not what the conditions are, it just tells you how much power you are generating.
good point, thank you
Where can I buy it, does it look like a Mag Trainer ?

I can use power as my reference for training....
because I don't know how much power do I generate on my trainer do I?
May be I can use generator and wattmeter for a simple measurement ???

The motor will be attached in the core for more resistance...
Where do you think I should put more flywheel ?
Thanks guys....
