Hi Dave.

        What about to use a torqe converter from a car. Block the output
shaft and fill it more or less with oil. Pump the oil to/from a tank of
250L.
If neserarry wind a coldwater tube in the tank. It could work;-). and it
would be very economic.

Any opinion on this?

We are using Schenk eddie current and water brakes in the labbs.
