    Prony brake dynamometers at a tractor contest in 1910 Schematic of a Prony brake Actual Prony Brake built for testing 5HP Steam Engine. The Prony brake is a simple device invented by Gaspard de Prony in 1821 to measure the torque produced by an engine. The term "brake horsepower" is one measurement of power derived from this method of measuring ...

  3. Vacuum servo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_servo

    In the US it is commonly called a brake booster. A vacuum servo, also known as a power booster or power brake unit, uses a vacuum, usually supplied by the engine, to multiply the driver's pedal effort and apply that effort to the master cylinder .

  4. Power brakes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_brakes

    A power braking system consists of several distinct components, including the vacuum booster, master cylinder, brake fluid reservoir and lines, and calipers (or drums). Power brakes have been around in some form since the 1920s, and since the late 20th century all cars sold in North America have been equipped with power brakes.

  5. Electronically controlled pneumatic brakes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronically_controlled...

    When the brake pipe and car components are charged with air, the brakes release. When the engineer needs to make a brake application, control valves in the locomotive reduce the brake pipe pressure. As the brake pipe pressure is reduced, the service portions on each car divert air from their reservoirs to their brake cylinders.

    What most of these converters do is to bring together the turn signals and stop lamp signal from a three-wire solution using 54, L and R into a two-wire solution using L54 and R54 according to DIN where brake light and turn indicator uses the same wire and bulb for each side. These converters usually don't handle the case of separate position ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_probe

    Typical passive oscilloscope probe being used to test an integrated circuit. A test probe is a physical device used to connect electronic test equipment to a device under test (DUT). Test probes range from very simple, robust devices to complex probes that are sophisticated, expensive, and fragile.

  9. Dynamic braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_braking

    Norfolk Southern 5348 diesel-electric locomotive employs dynamic braking. The cooling grill for the brake grid resistors is at the top center of the locomotive. Dynamic braking is the use of an electric traction motor as a generator when slowing a vehicle such as an electric or diesel-electric locomotive.
