4. Electromagnetic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_brake

   Electromagnetic brakes or EM brakes are used to slow or stop vehicles using electromagnetic force to apply mechanical resistance (friction). They were originally called electro-mechanical brakes but over the years the name changed to "electromagnetic brakes", referring to their actuation method which is generally unrelated to modern electro-mechanical brakes.

5. Track brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_brake

   A magnetic track brake (Mg brake) is a brake for rail vehicles. It consists of brake magnets, pole shoes , a suspension, a power transmission and, in the case of mainline railroads , a track rod. When current flows through the magnet coil, the magnet is attracted to the rail, which presses the pole shoes against the rail, thereby decelerating ...
