Eddy Current Brakes Seminar Report

Description

INTRODUCTION

Many of the ordinary brakes, which are being used now days stop the vehicle by means of mechanical blocking. This causes skidding and wear and tear of the vehicle. And if the speed of the vehicle is very high, the brake cannot provide that much high braking force and it will cause problems. These drawbacks of ordinary brakes can be overcome by a simple and effective mechanism of braking system ‘The eddy current brake’. It is an abrasion-free method for braking of vehicles including trains. It makes use of the opposing tendency of eddy current
