BRAKES

Hi. Here I will talk about the types of brakes. Them are also used in cars.

1. mechanical (frictional);
2. hydraulic (not to be confused with hydraulic brakes);
3. pneumatic (compressor type - not to be confused with pneumatically operated brakes);
4. aerodynamic;
5. electromagnetic (not to be confused with electric brakes).

Mechanical

The mechanical brake absorbs and dissipates kinetic energy as a result of mutual friction of moving and stationary parts of machines and mechanisms or their parts.

Hydraulic

The hydraulic brake absorbs, dissipates or accumulates kinetic energy as a result of mixing, recirculation or compression of the fluid.

Pneumatic

The pneumatic brake absorbs, dissipates or accumulates kinetic energy as a result of compression of air or its mixtures.

Aerodynamic

The aerodynamic brake creates aerodynamic resistance on the vehicle in air or gas.

Electromagnetic

The electromagnetic brake absorbs, dissipates or accumulates the potential and kinetic energy of machines and mechanisms as a result of the interaction of electromagnetic fields of moving and stationary parts of machines and mechanisms.

Cars use brakes to reduce speed or stop completely. This gives greater maneuverability and road safety.

Thank you
