  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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy_recovery_system

    KERS is also possible on a bicycle. The EPA, working with students from the University of Michigan, developed the hydraulic Regenerative Brake Launch Assist (RBLA) [30] This has also been demonstrated by mounting a flywheel on a bike frame and connecting it with a CVT to the back wheel. By shifting the gear, 20% of the kinetic energy can be ...

  4. Dynamic braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_braking

    Dynamic braking alone is not enough to stop a locomotive, because its braking effect rapidly diminishes below about 10 to 12 miles per hour (16 to 19 km/h). Therefore, it is always used in conjunction with another form of braking, such as an air brake. The use of both braking systems at the same time is called blended braking.

  5. 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

  6. 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 ...

  7. Motorcycle braking systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_braking_systems

    Electric motorcycles can use regenerative braking to both slow the motorcycle down and recharge the batteries at the same. KTM secretly raced a machine with a KERS style regenerative braking system during the 2008 Valenican 125 cc Grand Prix. Although deemed in contravention of the rules, the use of a KERS system preceded its use in Formula 1.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Brake-by-wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 such as a pedal or lever.
