1. A method of calculating power of an engine comprising:
- determining a Moment of Inertia for the engine;
accelerating the engine from a first RPM value to a second RPM value;
determining a time difference between accelerating from the first RPM value to the second RPM value; and
calculating the power as a function of the Moment of Inertia, the first RPM value, the second RPM value and the time difference.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for calculating power of an engine by determining a Moment of Inertia for the engine, accelerating the engine from a first RPM value to a second RPM value, determining a time difference between accelerating from the first RPM value to the second RPM value, and calculating the power as a function of the Moment of Inertia, the first RPM value, the second RPM value and the time difference.

4. A computer-readable medium for calculating power of an engine, the computer-readable medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform the computer-implemented steps of:
-
receiving a first RPM value;
receiving a second RPM value;
receiving a Moment of Inertia value of the engine;
receiving a time difference when the engine is accelerated from the first RPM value to the second RPM value; and
calculating the power as a function of the first RPM value, the second RPM value, the Moment of Inertia value and the time difference. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A system for calculating power of an engine, the system carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processing means, causes the one or more processing means to perform computer-implemented steps of:
-
means for receiving a first RPM value;
means for receiving a second RPM value;
means for receiving a Moment of Inertia value of the engine;
means for receiving a time difference when the engine is accelerated from the first RPM value to the second RPM value; and
means for calculating the power as a function of the first RPM value, the second RPM value, the Moment of Inertia value and the time difference. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
