2. Power brakes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_brakes

   The forward travel of the rod causes the piston in the master cylinder to compress; this action pushes the brake fluid through the brake lines, which lead to the calipers. There, the fluid compresses the caliper pistons, which causes the brake pads to move inboard and contact the rotors. The resulting friction slows the vehicle.

3. Regenerative braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_braking

   Regenerative braking is not by itself sufficient as the sole means of safely bringing a vehicle to a standstill, or slowing it as required, so it must be used in conjunction with another braking system such as friction-based braking.

4. SureStop - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SureStop

   SureStop is a system for bicycles aimed at making the correct application of braking force easier for novice or casual cyclists. It integrates into V-brake systems to provide single-lever braking for front and rear brakes. [5]

5. Bicycle brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake

   Larger rotors provide greater braking torque for a given pad pressure, by virtue of a longer moment arm for the caliper to act on. Smaller rotors provide less braking torque but also less weight and better protection from knocks. Larger rotors dissipate heat more quickly and have a larger amount of mass to absorb heat, reducing brake fade or ...

6. Eddy current brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake

   Disk electromagnetic brakes are used on vehicles such as trains, and power tools such as circular saws, to stop the blade quickly when the power is turned off.A disk eddy current brake consists of a conductive non-ferromagnetic metal disc attached to the axle of the vehicle's wheel, with an electromagnet located with its poles on each side of the disk, so the magnetic field passes through the ...

7. Brake fade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

   Improved friction is provided by lining materials that have a higher coefficient of friction than standard brake pads, while brake fade is reduced through the use of more expensive binding resins with a higher melting point, along with slotted, drilled, or dimpled discs/rotors that reduce the gaseous boundary layer, in addition to providing ...
