Zero Friction Electromagnetic Braking System Project

Download Project Document/Synopsis

Here we shows the demonstration of “ The Frictionless Braking System Mechanical Project”, where, it shows the Copper’s surprising reaction to Strong Magnets. A friction-less braking system tends to increase life span and reliability of brakes since absence of friction leads to less wearing of brakes. Under operation it requires less maintenance and oiling as compared to other braking mechanisms. Our mechanism makes use of a well designed and fabricated assembly to demonstrate the concept. We make use of a copper brake drum with a chain sprocket based arrangement which is driven by a motor. The arrangement is fixed on a shaft arrangement rotating seamlessly on a bearing mounted arrangement to simulate a car wheel. The system is now integrated with a strong magnet arrangement. This double sided magnetic arrangement is used to simulate a brake paddle push. Once pushed it traps the brake drum in strong magnetic field and braking takes place.
