Have you ever wondered how a vehicle stops so easily just by pressing the brake pedal? In today’s video, we’ll show you how a hydraulic brake system works with a very simple and clear demonstration.
The hydraulic brake system works on Pascal’s Law, which states that pressure applied to a fluid is transmitted equally in all directions. Based on this principle, pressure from the brake pedal travels through fluid and reaches the brake pads.
In this project, we’ve created a simple model using syringes, tubes, and water to represent the actual components of a real braking system. When one syringe is pushed, that pressure travels through the water and activates another syringe.
In the video, we’ll also show how the size of the syringes affects braking power. This will help explain how fluid pressure can generate mechanical advantage.
This demo will not only help you understand the braking process but also teach you how important sealed tubes, air bubbles, and fluid properties are in real-world brake systems.
