Where Can I Find Helpful Information on Electromagnetic Braking?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around finding resources for a school project on electromagnetic braking, specifically in relation to its application in amusement rides like the "spac probe" at Australia Wonderland and in trains. Participants suggest using Google to search for specific types of electromagnetic brakes, with an emphasis on automotive applications. Several helpful links are provided, including manufacturer websites and technical briefs, which could assist in gathering information. Additionally, contacting manufacturers directly and utilizing local library resources are recommended as alternative methods for obtaining information.

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.

Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'

Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.
