DRIVING INTO THE FUTURE
Introducing innovative automotive eco brake system, product concept.New Brake-By-Wire an electrorheological fluid brakes, a pure electronically controlled brake system that uses the bytes and amperes instead of the bars.
By-Wire is a form of electronic control, where the system transfers power electronically instead of using mechanical connectors.
Transportation is moving towards clean energyGreen Technology
With the development of electric car technology, new systems such as Brake-By-Wire will be introduced into electric cars.
Vehicle controls are evolving away from the limitations of traditional mechanical and hydraulic components, the underlying factor is to move towards electronic controls to increase speed of response and reduce weight of the vehicles.
The aim of this invention is to develop automotive brakes that employ an electrorheological fluid that has performance advantages over the conventional hydraulic system.
Electrorheological fluids technology has the ability to control breaking through electrical means.
Automotive industry is already using smart electrorheological fluids in suspension mechanisms, the electronically controlled shock absorbers. In the future cars will be equipped with the smart fluid brake systems.
Help make it happen!
Funds needed to develop a working prototype, and for extensive testing to launch the new Brake-By-Wire product concept.
Eco Brake-By-WireModern ecological brake system that replaces mechanical connection between the brake pedal and brake actuators on each wheel with electrical components to control brakes through electrical means. Those new brakes allow the driver to slow or stop the vehicle and prevent a stationary vehicle from moving.
Forging into the future
The electrorheological brake system is an advance over the conventional hydraulic brakes, and more suitable to be used in EVs electric cars. The smart fluid brakes contribute to reduction of vehicle weight that saves energy, also reduces tires wear, and dust pollution from the brake linings. Vehicle weight is the main contributing factor for energy consumption.
Smart fluids
Electrorheological fluid provides controllable resistance of active torque output in either direction of rotation, under computer control. Properties such as torque capacity of the brakes, the wall shear stress and relative viscosity are determined by electric field and the temperature, as well as the input angular velocity of the rotating wheel.
The yield stress of an electrorheological fluid varies as a function of the electrical field applied. The controllable yield stress causes friction on the rotating disk surfaces, thus generating a retarding brake torque. The braking torque can be precisely controlled by changing electric current applied on the electrorheological fluid, providing consistent and stable braking force.
