Where as constant light brake pressure helps disapate(sp) the heat.

Interesting. I hadn't thought about that....
Since when did brake drums and shoes become enclosed? The only way oxygen can get to your brake pads and lining comes from the air pressure released from your braking system? Thats a new one to me, guess I am learning something from an old pro?

Guess you guys don't ever watch NASCAR? I love that camera angle on the brake shoes when they apply the brakes going into the corner. They let off the brake the glowing disappears. They apply the brakes it glows. So which dissipates heat again?

Are we talking about going as fast as you can and then slowing down just enought a make a corner and then speeding up again or are we talking about getting a 80k rig down a mountain?

Can you explain this? Why are brake rotors vented? They vent them to add heat? Different brake component but same concept.



Chemistry (from Egyptian k?me (chem), meaning "earth"[1]) is the science treating matter at the atomic to macromolecular scale, the reactions, transformations and aggregations of matter, as well as accompanying energy and entropy changes during these processes.

Someone didn't take chemistry did they?
