Eddy Current Brakes - Introduction, types and application

An eddy current brake is a type of braking mechanism that is typically used for trains and roller coasters. This braking mechanism utilizes a process of electromagnetic induction to create a phenomenon known as eddy currents. Eddy currents are governed by faradays law and lenzs law. These eddy currents create heat-producing resistance, which is used to provide braking power for a vehicle. A topic widely used for seminars in electrical and mechanical engineering. 📺Subscribe To My Channel and Get Notified when Videos Go Live CHAPTERS 0:00 Introduction to Eddy Brakes 1:02 Governing laws and Working Principle 2:00 Working of Eddy Current Brakes 2:59 Types - Circular and Linear 3:45 Advantages and Disadvantages 4:17 Applications and Future Aspects 4:42 Literature Survey 5:18 Conclusion
