Buying a used car? Diagnosing a rough engine?
Don't guess. Don't dismantle. Don't pay for hours
of workshop time.
Crankotix is the world's first iPhone-based
relative compression tester. Using nothing but
your phone's built-in magnetometer, it reveals
the health of any 3 or 4 cylinder engine -
diesel or petrol- in less than 30 seconds.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Remove the fuel pump fuse, disconnect camshaft sensors or disconnect the ignition system... (according to the engine technology)
2. Place your iPhone near the negative battery terminal
3. Crank the engine for 5 seconds (Follow the audio instructions)
4. Get instant relative compression results
That's it. No probes. No Bluetooth dongles.
No mechanical tools. Just your iPhone.
WHY IT WORKS
When the starter motor cranks your engine, every
compression cycle creates a current spike. These
current spikes generate magnetic field
variations which your iPhone's magnetometer
captures.
Crankotix analyzes these signals and
tells if the relative compressions are well balanced.
WHO IT'S FOR
* Used car buyers who want peace of mind
before signing the check
* DIY mechanics tired of mechanical compression
testers and oily workshops
* Independent garages looking for a fast
pre-diagnostic tool

IMPORTANT NOTES
- Crankotix performs RELATIVE compression
testing, comparing cylinders to each other
- A minimum level of mechanical knowledge is
required to prevent engine starting
- Cylinder identification is not provided. If
an imbalance is detected, a traditional
cylinder-by-cylinder test is recommended
