1. In a method for testing the performance of a mechanical device, such as for example a motor-vehicle transmission, motor-vehicle anti-lock brakes, etc., wherein a single motor characterized by a first power, a first rotational inertia, and a first peak rate of acceleration is provided to simulate a load or prime mover for the mechanical device to be tested, the improvement comprising the step of providing at least two motors in place of the single motor, the at least two motors having a combined power that is at least equivalent to the first power of the single motor, and a combined rotational inertia that is less than the rotational inertia of the first motor, and wherein further the at least two motors are operatively coupled in parallel to produce a combined second peak rate of acceleration greater than the first peak rate of acceleration.
