Design and Fabrication of an Automotive Electromagnetic Braking System

One of the most important features of a vehicle is its braking system. The kinetic energy of a moving body is converted into heat by nearly all braking systems, which use friction forces to do so. Overusing friction-type brakes raises the temperature of the braking pads, which lowers the system's efficiency. This work is primarily concerned with the analysis and construction of a 3D electromagnetic braking model that can apply brakes with no friction loss and without wasting the energy supplied. Because of the size and poor power-to-weight ratio, the traditional braking system is sometimes cumbersome. This method incorporates electromechanical principles. The magnetic force used by an electromagnetic braking system is what applies the brake, however the power needed to stop is manually applied. The system has been fabricated using motor, belt-pulley as the driving unit and rotator, core-coil, brake shoe and the power source as the braking unit. It is expected to be an effective braking mechanism that reduces the proportion of accidents. Additionally, it minimizes brake system maintenance.
