Hydraulic Brake

This project shows how a hydraulic braking system works. These systems are often found in cars and motorcycles. The master cylinder turns the mechanical input from the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure when you push it. The pressure moves through the connecting pipe's brake fluid to the wheel cylinder.

The wheel cylinder then pushes the brake pads against the disc, which creates friction and slows down the wheel's rotation. Because hydraulic fluid can't be compressed, the force that is applied is transmitted well. This means that even a small force can create a much larger braking force at the wheel.

NOTE: The picture is only meant to show what it looks like. The final product's size may be a little different. The color of the input materials may also change depending on what is available, but the variation does not affect how the product works. The final product won't look as good as the picture since it's just for the student project.
