Aim:
The aim of this work Automatic Brake Failure Indicator is to create a better
braking system with indicator using eddy current .
Apparatus required:
● 555 IC
● BC 557 PNP Transistor
● Red and Green LED
● 2 - 1uF, 0.1 uF Capacitors
● 1K ,440K resistors
● Buzzer
● Bread board
● Magnetic coil
● Wires
Circuit diagram:
Working:
The brake failure indicator circuit contains a magnetic coil which produces a magnetic
field and many electrical as well as electronic equipment such as LED, sensors, piezo
buzzers, ICs, transistors, etc . The brake failure indicator are used to avoid major damage. It
is a main advantage of brake failure indicator, and it operate in automatic mode that make
it easy to use. At present many other instrument or system can be used to warn before any
accident condition but it is only use to monitor the braking system or any disturbances in
electrical circuit of the braking system when the brake is applied to stop or slow down the
vehicle.
Interference:
During braking ,the metal wheels are exposed to magnetic field from the cuircuit
containing electromagnetic coil ,generating eddy currents in the wheels . This
eddy currents is formed by the movement of wheels.This eddy currents is formed
by the movement of wheels. So,the lenz’s law,the magnetic field formed by the eddy
current will oppose it’s cause
Advantage:
1.No need of external battery. Circuit can be powered from the vehicle’s battery itself.
2. Power consumption is comparably less.
3. It is not depend on the petrol level.
4. Operating principle is very easy.
5. Installation is simplified very much.
Applications:
1. Four wheeler application
3. Mechanical Crane
4. Mechanical machines
