 MR> I'm thinking of connecting the dynamo to a small motor using a
 MR> flexible coupling. Then I'll be able to take a plot of voltage vs rpm,
 MR> with and without the capacitor.

Flexible or solid coupling can be used.

If you mount the dynamo or the motor in a spring-loaded cradle,
and calibrate the amount of twist per foot-pound of torque, you
can also measure the amount of drag the dynamo would cause to the
bike under various conditions.

 MR> easy it is to fool our own perceptions, just ask an audiophile!
