Default RE: Propeller acts as brake?

What we need is for someone to put a 14X6 prop on a bearing supported shaft that can be locked and unlocked easily. Place said assembly in a wind tunnel and measure the resistance both free spinning and stopped. Anyone here have access to a wind tunnel? If so, will you do the experiment for the forum members?
