新制動系統榮獲汽車獎

[Auto News]

學生開發創新制動系統甩掉了與傳統光碟的圓柱制動 systemAn 和港口及機場發展獎它的發明者汽車 Courland 下一代。
羅伯托 · Antonio 步伐收集 7500 獎社會電機製造商和貿易商晚宴上，和他贏得五個月的工作經驗放置與捷豹路虎和邁凱輪汽車以及標緻、 斯柯達和豐田。
步設計替換缸制動盤。而不是在鉗夾持光碟的平坦表面的摩擦材料，它反而適用于圓筒，繞中心旋轉。
在理論上，一個圓筒將加熱更均勻地比一張光碟，減少表面上的熱點和刹車淡入淡出。步伐也估計一個較小的圓筒可以提供更大的光碟，將有助於降低車輛重量相同的性能。
邁凱輪車隊的首席工程師尼爾 · 派特森，說: 在車輪制動，沒有看到重大演變幾十年，所以對我來說印象最深刻的事情是 Robertos 勇於挑戰現狀，把它放在第一位。

Student develops cylindrical braking systemAn innovative braking system that does away with conventional discs and pads has won its inventor the Autocar-Courland Next Generation award.
Roberto Antonio Pace collected the 7500 award at the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders dinner, and he wins a five month work experience placement with Jaguar Land Rover and McLaren Automotive, as well as Peugeot, Skoda and Toyota.
Paces design replaces the brake disc with a cylinder. Rather than the friction material in the caliper gripping the flat surface of a disc, it works instead on the cylinder, which spins around the hub.
In theory, a cylinder will warm up more evenly than a disc, reducing hot spots on the surface and brake fade. Pace also reckons that a smaller cylinder can offer the same performance as a larger disc, which will help cut vehicle weight. 

McLaren chief engineer Neil Patterson, said: In-wheel braking hasnt seen significant evolution for decades, so for me the most impressive thing is Robertos courage to challenge the status quo by taking it on in the first place.
Jonathan Maynard from Brunel University and James Benson from Huddersfield University were runners up, with their Cooled EGR Discharge and Car Theft Prevention System entries.
