Reaction time taken to slow down using conventional/Cerami ?
-
If u were to brake sharply, probably going into a corner or junction at over 80km/h to 100 kmph, would conventional brakes work better or ceramic?, which would disperse heat faster from friction
In another situation
If there is a cabby in front of you,which e brake suddenly the reaction time taken to slow down is faster if conventional brake is utilised or both e brake and conventional brake? -
The ceremic discs new to 'warm' up to very high temp before they can work,everyday traffic not suitable..
-
Without warming up, ceramic-carbon disc brakes not very effective..but once warmed up, it's stopping power is best described as heroic..
-
ceramic brakes have an additional advantage of being very light....Originally posted by Shanghai_Grand:If u were to brake sharply, probably going into a corner or junction at over 80km/h to 100 kmph, would conventional brakes work better or ceramic?, which would disperse heat faster from friction

and in ur second situation... what u mean by e brake and conventional brake... -
I think he's trying to ask which combination will make the car stop the fastest..just the brakes, or e brakes or both at the same time..Originally posted by n0x:ceramic brakes have an additional advantage of being very light....

E brake as in Emergency brakesOriginally posted by n0x:ceramic brakes have an additional advantage of being very light....

Convetional brakes as in Steel and those metal brakes, which would be more advantageous in sharp braking -
every car has only 1 set of brakes... and they are made of metal... there is no such thing as a seperate of E brake..Originally posted by Shanghai_Grand:E brake as in Emergency brakes

unless u are talking abt handbrake.. then tt's diff -
hahah, handbrakes are also known as Emergency brakes ( E brakes)
-
noo..hand brake is call hand brake..e brake is pulling up the hand brake in emergency times
-
This is what I thought so too..Originally posted by winson93:hahah, handbrakes are also known as Emergency brakes ( E brakes) -
Then handbrake can also be considered an "emergency brake" during an emergency what..Originally posted by tofushop193:noo..hand brake is call hand brake..e brake is pulling up the hand brake in emergency times
If you say e brake is the action of "pulling up" the hand brake, then cannot be called e brake liao..should be called e braking instead..emergency braking.. -
haha,
from wikipedia, under "Hand Brake" - "In cars, the hand brake (also known as the emergency brake, e-brake, park brake, or parking brake)..."
Under "Emergency Brake" - "An emergency brake is a separate brake system in a vehicle for use in case of failure of the regular (hydraulic or air) brakes and commonly used as a parking brake in automobiles. Also called hand brake, many people shorten emergency and call the devices e-brakes."
So i guess E brake and Hand Brake are the same thing, different ways of saying

but current from my friends' and myself, we found out the breaking distance will be quite jia lat if some1 suddenly jam break in front of you.
so dun tailgate and always remind the bugger behind your car not to tailgate you, cos spending non-quality time for compensation and getting your car fixed is not worth the trouble.
Normally those cars fitted with ABS will have a particular short coming of moving forward like 1M or so after u jam break and tio liao lor..

What are you talking about? Do you know what ABS actually is and used for? A car fitted with ABS will definately have a shorter braking distance than a car without, or did you think that locking up the wheels and leaving tyre marks will make your car stop faster?Originally posted by sLeEpWaLkErInG:Normally those cars fitted with ABS will have a particular short coming of moving forward like 1M or so after u jam break and tio liao lor.. -
Quote from wikipedia
On high-traction surfaces such as bitumen, or concrete many (though not all) ABS-equipped cars are able to attain braking distances better (i.e. shorter) than those that would be easily possible without the benefit of ABS. Even an alert, skilled driver without ABS would find it difficult, even through the use of techniques like threshold braking, to match or improve on the performance of a typical driver with an ABS-equipped vehicle, in realworld conditions. ABS reduces chances of crashing, and/or the severity of impact. The recommended technique for non-expert drivers in an ABS-equipped car, in a typical full-braking emergency, is to press the brake pedal as firmly as possible and, where appropriate, to steer around obstructions. In such situations, ABS will significantly reduce the chances of a skid and subsequent loss of control. -
for higher level of education projects, thesis or assignments. wiki is not considered an offical source for info cuz it's public and any tom dick harry can go update it as and when he/she likes it. take everything from wiki with a pinch of salt.Originally posted by winson93:haha,

on to the topic of e brake. when we take our driviing lessons(sch), they will teach e brake which is = emergency braking. hand brake is hand brake. the brake which we step on is foot brake. and there is something called step brake, which replaces the hand brake, located at the clutch area(only in auto cars) -
Then I'm afraid you are wrong..Honda once organised a driving safety event in Malaysia..They deactivated the ABS in the Honda Civics there and ask the journalists there to just jam the brakes, don't care about whether the wheels will lock up or not..And so they did, and to EVERYONE'S surprise, the stopping distance is even shorter than with ABS switched on..Originally posted by nightsky87:What are you talking about?

ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System..the purpose of the ABS is to prevent the wheels from locking up during hard braking and thus you can STEER AWAY from danger..
Added: But cars fitted with ABS and EBD will definitely have a shorter braking distance than without any braking aids..but the system responsible for a shorter braking distance is actually the EBD, which stands for Electronic Brake-force Distribution..with the ABS and EBD combined, stopping distance will be shorter than without ABS and EBD..
Note: I am saying all these if the roads are dry..when it's wet, obviously a car with ABS will have a shorter braking distance than a car without ABS.. -
When i was undergoing driver course in the army... one of the lessons being taught is the emergency breaking. Same was done during orientation driving in my unit.
Drive as fast as possible in the Land Rover, instructor gives the signal and you slam on the brakes, holding the steering wheel firmly with both hands, clutch not depressed.
That's it -
