Working of Electromagnetic Eddy Current Brake!
The certainty of having to stop at some point when going anywhere fast is one of its downsides. The basic principle of friction that you slow to a stop when two surfaces rub together is the only thing standing between a safe stop and disaster in an emergency when you need to brake quickly. The value of friction brakes has now been amply demonstrated by their widespread use in automobiles, aircraft, and most factory equipment. Yet they also have a significant disadvantage: because they depreciate slightly with each usage, they are relatively pricey. What is the substitute? One possibility is to use an electromagnetic eddy current brake instead of friction to slow down motion. How does Friction Brake Work? Moving objects have kinetic energy, which must be released in some way if you want to stop them. You can simply put your feet down, so they drag on the ground if you're riding a bicycle slowly. Your feet's bottoms serve as brakes. You slow down due to frictio...
