  2. Electric friction brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_friction_brake

    An electric friction brake, often referred to as just electric brake [1] or electric trailer brake, is a brake controlled by an electric current and can be seen on medium duty trailers like caravans/RVs and consumer-grade car trailers. It is related to the electromagnetic track brake used in railways which also use electric current to directly ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Dynamic braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_braking

    The cooling grill for the brake grid resistors is at the top center of the locomotive. Dynamic braking is the use of an electric traction motor as a generator when slowing a vehicle such as an electric or diesel-electric locomotive. It is termed "rheostatic" if the generated electrical power is dissipated as heat in brake grid resistors, and ...

  5. Brake-by-wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake-by-wire

    Brake-by-wire. SpeedE, an academic concept car developed for studying drive-by-wire technologies such as brake-by-wire. Brake-by-wire technology in the automotive industry is the ability to control brakes through electronic means, without a mechanical connection that transfers force to the physical braking system from a driver input apparatus ...

  6. Retarder (mechanical engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarder_(mechanical...

    Retarder (mechanical engineering) Torque converter, opened, interior similar to a retarder. A retarder is a device used to augment or replace some of the functions of primary friction -based braking systems, usually on heavy vehicles. Retarders serve to slow vehicles, or maintain a steady speed while traveling down a hill, and help prevent the ...

Electric friction brake, Electrically controlled friction brake. Track brake. Regenerative brake. Eddy current brake, Braking using eddy currents. disambiguation Electric brake internal link.

  8. Trailer connectors in Australia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailer_connectors_in...

    Round 7-pin trailer connector Type 1, Australian Standard 2513. In this pinout for an ISO 1724 connector, the position light pin is used for electric brakes (Pin 5, 58R), which means that if you connect a trailer with electric brakes to a towing vehicle wired according to ISO 1724 and turn on the position lights the trailer will be braking. Pin ...

  9. Health and environmental effects of battery electric cars

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_and_environmental...

    Induction motors do not use magnets, but permanent magnet motors do. The magnets found in permanent magnet motors used in electric vehicles contain rare-earth metals to increase the power output of these motors. [44] The mining and processing of metals such as lithium, copper, and nickel can release toxic compounds into the surrounding area ...
