Eg bigger flywheel, more rotational mass etc. Eg a car with a lighter flywheel will accelerate faster to 60 despite having identical amounts of torque and horsepower, it however will be faster. Same goes for a dyno, it will spin a dyno up to speed faster yet has the same power. A way to prove this is to do 10 back to back runs with your car and a control car, change your flywheel out, then do another 10 back to back runs with a control car at the same time and see how much the flywheel car's "power" has changed.
