Torque of motors

Seems like every single motor made now is either "high torque" or "high speed" in designation. Oddly enough, no one seems to make a "normal torque" or "normal speed" motor. Not inspiring enough I guess.

Well, I am interested in building a chart to compare torque @ rpm for different motors available for airsoft use.

My problem is lack of training in this field. I believe that attaching the motor to a spindle and winding a string attached to a weighted lever until stall could measure relative torque @ 0 rpm. I would prefer to be able to measure torque @ any rpm.

Is this possible at a reasonable expense? Any doctors have the training to build a dynamometer for our small motors?
