My plan is similar, but a little more complicated. A cylinder and piston
turned from aluminum with an o-ring on the piston. There's a needle
valve at the end of the cylinder to adjust the resistance. With enough
creative electronics and programming it's possible to control the needle
valve with a stepper or servo so the resistance could be changed by the
software. Higher airspeed = more resistance. One of these years I'll
have a place to put my pit and might actually get something
accomplished.
