Abstract

Abstract A conventional braking system uses the disc or drum for application of brakes. Application of pressure force through brakeshoe on drum caused the vehicle to slow down and stop. During the action of brake Kinetic energy developed by vehicle is converted in to heat energy due to friction between brake shoe and drum. Therefore brake is an essential element to stop the vehicle by conversion of energy. Continuous application of brake results wear and tear on braking pads, inturn reduces its effectiveness. braking is to convert. In this work, a concept on magnetic braking system has been introduced, basis for which is Lenz’s law. An aluminium disc is used to fit into the wheel of a bicycle and the influence of different parameter on braking torque have been analysed analytically as well as experimentally in this proposal.
