Hi, I'm doing a school project regarding electromagnetic braking I just wondered if anyone could point me in the direction of some good websites which could help me?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
use in the "spac probe" a park ride in "Australlia Wonderland" in sydney it is a free fall ride that uses electomagnetic brake to stop


some train alos uses electomagnetic brake


links ? not sure

try search google
 
What kind of electr-mag brakes are you looking for? I'm assuming automotive, but here's a few links which may point you in the right direction.

http://www.brakeclutch.com/ manufacturer

http://www.powertransmission.com/cgi-bin/newleads.cgi?Electromagnetic%20Brakes a list of manufacturers of electr-mag brakes

Don't know how much this will help, if all else fails, contact the manufacturers I listed and maybe they could help. When all else fails, check the local library.
