How do they work? |
|
Quoted: And why are we still using conventional friction breaks on vehicles ? Because brake pads, rotors and lines are wear parts. Auto makers bank on you having to buy parts to repair your car, that way they will get a chunk of cash out of every car they sell for the next 20ish years. At any big car dealership, the main money maker is the service department. |

Ford wants me to buy brake parts made of super-expensive cast iron, steel and low-grade ceramic, instead of cheap and plentiful copper and neobdymium. |

long pipe with close fitting magnet= air drag. Well, no... http://regentsprep.org/Regents/physics/phys08/clenslaw/default.htm |

Quoted: Quoted: long pipe with close fitting magnet= air drag. No. Lenz effect, as stated in the first reply. Another demonstration: The magnetic damper on my old Ohaus Dial-O-Gram balance works exactly that way - a sheet of aluminum at the end of the beam swings between two strong magnets. |

Quoted: I would assume that a magnet braking system like on a train would cost many times what a lifetime of pad rotor replacement on an average car first off. The simple single piston systems on cars are ridiculously cheap to replace anyways and you should be able to do it yourself after watching a video or checking out a forum specific to your car.Quoted: Quoted: And why are we still using conventional friction breaks on vehicles ? out of I am sure you can think of a few more ways we are getting screwed by not using magnets to raise it one Not sure why the concept is crazy to you. they are used on some trains http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/Uzu-brake.JPG |

Quoted: On a model engine forum I go to, a guy had a small air powered hit-n-miss engine. There were two magnets on either side of the brass flywheel to help slow the engine down, so you could see the valve system operate.Quoted: Quoted: long pipe with close fitting magnet= air drag.

First time I had heard of this Lenz effect. Never thought about the dampers on the old lab scales... |

Not sure why the concept is crazy to you. they are used on some trains http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/Uzu-brake.JPG Seems like an industry that could benefit from investment and research. maybe not cost effective for cars, but what about large trucks that are brutal on breaks. anything large and heavy. aircraft, armored trucks, 18 wheelers, etc Seems like airline companies would be all over frictionless breaks. |

Quoted: Wear magnetic shoes. Jump from a building into a copper pipe. No going down stairs. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/archive/7/73/20110128203738!Trollface.png ...actually... that sounds like a great emergency egress escape method... |

I really could see me do that for hours. Damn you Homie, and arfcom you cost me $25 today  Next time I actually show up for camping I hope you bring that along. What about I bring the Mac 10 and Can instead and let you do a few dumps  In that case, what magnets? I've wanted to try a mac 10 for a long time.
