Pedal Operated Pneumatic Braking System Project

Download Project Document/Synopsis

Here we propose a pneumatic powered braking system which is an efficient alternative braking mechanism to be used in vehicles. Our proposed system uses a pneumatic pump along with a pneumatic piston, valves, robber brake, supporting frame to demonstrate this mechanism. We first allows the user to operate the motor that is used to drive the wheel based arrangement. Our system allows the user to press the brake using a paddle, which forces the pneumatic pump pressure generated through the piston. This piston is then used to press a rubber brake against the wheel to stop its motion. This system allows for instant braking using pneumatic pressure.
