Ever wondered how your car magically stops when you hit the brakes?
It's all thanks to the small but mighty BRAKE PAD!
When you press the brake pedal, they swing into action, pressing against the spinning brake rotor.

So next time you stop on a dime, remember to give a nod to these unsung heroes.
They keep you safe, day in and day out. 🙌

Brakes make you stop but did you know they also make you GO! Today we look at the difference between Traditional braking and Regenerative braking systems. 👇

Traditional braking systems in vehicles rely on friction to slow down and stop a moving vehicle.

This process dissipates kinetic energy in the form of heat, which is not only inefficient but also leads to wear and tear on brake components.

Regenerative braking, on the other hand, is a mechanism that seeks to capture and convert this otherwise wasted kinetic energy back into a usable form of energy.

Regenerative braking systems are commonly featured in electric and hybrid vehicles, although they can also be found in some advanced conventional vehicles.

These systems employ the vehicle's electric motor as a generator when the brakes are engaged, transforming kinetic energy into electrical energy.

This electrical energy is subsequently stored in a battery or another energy storage device for later use.

In electric vehicles, regenerative braking can extend the vehicle's range by reclaiming energy that would be lost during braking. This proves especially valuable in stop-and-start traffic scenarios.

As electric and hybrid vehicles become more prevalent, regenerative braking will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of energy-efficient transport!
