I cannot believe this absolutely GOLD of a channel even exists. On top of that it's free. Good job man, absolutely loving your videos. Learnt a lot of stuff since i started watching
Hello Huibert Mees. Thank you for this awesome video. Just a quick question, where is the software that you use to create the ideal break curve? Is it publicly available?
Great to see Huibert " s video.excellnt knowledge and got chance to work with him when I was in Mahindra research velly chennai and he was our MANA counterpart..
Hi. Very nice video! I see that you used in your illustrations fixed calipers for the front and floating calipers for the rear brakes. Why are the fixed calipers better than the floating ones? I see them only in high end cars.
Can you do an episode about thermal performance in regards to brakes that you talked about at the end of the video? A perfect example to do an episode on would be the Tesla Model S Plaid which has small brakes (380mm) for the power (1020hp), weight (2200kg) and use-case (Tesla has a bunch of marketing showing it on the racetrack and setting lap times), but it is well known by all journalists that the stocks brakes can't take the abuse of the race track, but the CCB upgrade ("Tesla Track Pack") can.
Hello, based on your brake videos I’ve watched and reviewing chapters of the textbook you refer to. I was wondering if another way to achieve an actual brake curve closer to the ideal brake curve would be to use a brake pad with a higher coefficient of friction in the rear as opposed to the front? (Assumption is for a car without ABS and power brakes) I think a lot of autocrossers typically use a higher friction pad in the front, but this moves the actual brake curve further away from the ideal? Thanks for any feedback
Quick question, is there any relatively simple way of calculating the brake force of a drum brake? I've just gone through some rather complex equations, and got numbers that mesh with the demonstration. But the brake force seems absurdly low for a given line pressure. Is that is truly the case for how drum brakes act? I'm working on graphing some of these things to justify my dislike of the common front disk-rear drum setup people install on aircooled VWs, I think it's dangerous, and according to my calcs so far it is wildly so. However, it can't be that bad, can it?
Drum brakes are a different animal since they have a self energizing tendency. It means they don't need as much hydraulic pressure to operate but it also makes it much more difficult to predict their brake force. I would recommend "Brake Design and Safety" by Rudolf Limpert. It goes into drum brakes quite comprehensively.
Rear brake lockup isnt a problem on rear wheel drive, manual transmission race cars. To lock up the rear wheels, the brakes would have to be capable of stalling the engine unless the driver is depressing the clutch and brake pedal at the same time, which a race car driver would not do under race conditions (you lose the benefit of engine braking and engine rpm drops to idle). Rear wheel-hop from improper downshifting is the reason race cars spin in braking zones.
Hello. How can I improve the modulation of my pedal? Chevrolet silverado 2500 2001? The overall condition of the car is very good, the brakes are serviced, but my pedal is not informative at all. I have increased the oil pressure for hydroboost. It gave a result, but I expected more.
Sime misinformation here, the "booster" is the part that amplifies your pedal force to the "Master Cylinder" that you forgot to mention in the beginning, where you called the completed assembly and picture the "booster" Also, your drawing of the lines to the brakes is all over the place. One of the outputs of the master cylinder drives the front brakes and the other for the rear. sorry, it's driving me nuts.
I probably should have said it was the booster/master cylinder assembly. On the lines, it was never my intention to show a real setup with the initial graphic since i knew i would be returning to that topic later on.
Who else is binge watching!? lol... Thanks for the clear concise explanations!

The most clear and rigorous tutorial video I've ever watched. Better than any course books ever.

It is facinating lesson to both the beginners and the specialists.
Hi.
Very nice video!
I see that you used in your illustrations fixed calipers for the front and floating calipers for the rear brakes. Why are the fixed calipers better than the floating ones? I see them only in high end cars.
This is a great video and answered alot of the questions I have had during my designing a brake system for my engineering design course. Thank you.
This is amazing content, you are an amazing engineer and teatcher

Great breakdown and very clearly explained. Nicely done!
It would be awesome to also include disc temperature,
Love this channel!!
Is there a website or programm to calcute the ideal break curve and sice of the calipers/pads/rotors? Very interesting, glad that i found the channel.
beautiful video, thank you so much for this amazing information!
Amazing knowledge, thank you!
Excellent. Many thanks for the Video.

YEssss all the answers to my comment in the ideal curve video are here!
Ok im subscribed
How are u able to create the ideal curve in the first hand, using the 4 parameters, pls tell

Ideally Zcrit is between 0.7-1 G but what happens with Zcrit is above 1 G?
Hello sir, how can I contact you ?

I’ll look for your in depth videos with accurate information, graphics, and concise explanations.
