  2. Regenerative braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_braking

    Regenerative braking has a similar energy equation to the equation for the mechanical flywheel. Regenerative braking is a two-step process involving the motor/generator and the battery. The initial kinetic energy is transformed into electrical energy by the generator and is then converted into chemical energy by the battery.

  3. WVA number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WVA_number

    WVA numbers (Waren-Vertriebs-Artikel-Nummern) are a reference and assignment system for brake linings, clutch facings, brake shoes and other friction materials which will especially be used in road vehicles but also in mechanical engineering.

  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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMC_Amitron

    The regenerative braking control was designed "to provide the same brake pedal "feel" as a conventional car. [13] This was the first use of regenerative braking technology in the U.S. automobile industry. [14] [15] Altogether, the system provided the car with a range of 150-mile (241 km) when traveling at 50 mph (80 km/h). [16]

  6. Engine braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking

    A compression release brake (also known as a Jacobs brake or "jake brake"), is the type of brake most commonly confused with real engine braking; it is used mainly in large diesel trucks and works by opening the exhaust valves at the top of the compression stroke, so the large amount of energy stored in that compressed air is not returned to ...

  7. Electric brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_brake

    Electric brake is an ambiguous term meaning more than one thing: Dynamic braking, Braking using magnetic currents either to charge a battery or waste as heat; Electric friction brake, Electrically controlled friction brake; Track brake; Regenerative brake; Eddy current brake, Braking using eddy currents

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009–2011_Toyota_vehicle...

    The brake override system, also called "brake to idle" and already a common design in German cars, allows the driver to override the accelerator by hitting the brakes. In a follow-up statement, the NHTSA announced the November 25, 2009 recall details as a "vehicle-based remedy" to address the floor mat pedal issue. [ 64 ]

  9. Air brake (road vehicle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_brake_(road_vehicle)

    Truck air-actuated disc brake. An air brake or, more formally, a compressed-air-brake system, is a type of friction brake for vehicles in which compressed air pressing on a piston is used to both release the parking/emergency brakes in order to move the vehicle, and also to apply pressure to the brake pads or brake shoes to slow and stop the vehicle.
