How some airbrakes work: animation [🎞️ random_war_thunder]

Cool Video

I like the MiG-23!

Don’t miss the coolest thrust reverser

Nice scenery

I have no idea why I love air brakes so much

Simple and easy way to show air brakes working..

The animation you've shared showcases the functionality of airbrakes, which are crucial components in various transportation systems. Airbrakes work by using compressed air to create pressure that is applied to brake drums or calipers, which then slows down or stops the vehicle. This system is particularly important in heavy vehicles like trucks and trains, where stopping power and control are essential for safe operation. In the animation, you can see the following key components of an airbrake system: 1.Air Compressor: This device compresses air from the atmosphere and stores it in the air tanks. 2. Air Tanks:These tanks store compressed air, which is used to operate the airbrakes. 3. Air Brake Chambers:These are cylindrical containers that house a slack adjuster connected to the brake shoes. When air pressure is applied, the slack adjuster moves, causing the brake shoes to push against the brake drum, creating friction and slowing the vehicle. 4.Brake Shoes and Drums: The brake shoes are lined with a friction material that presses against the brake drum when the brakes are applied.

Su-25 gonna be a frisbee if one side has a hyd failure. lol.
