Use of hydraulics principles in braking systems
A passenger car hydraulic brake system incorporates the following components: This entire component has been developed to assist personal and public transport vehicles to decelerate when a force applied through the brake pedal is exerted to assist the vehicle to stop. The vehicle brakes do this by converting kinetic energy to heat energy. This heat energy is generated between the friction surfaces of the brake pads and the disc. When a force (F1) is applied on the piston then the fluid inside the container is pushed/forced through the narrow pipe at the bottom of the system and into the other container, exerting a force on the second piston, forcing it to move upward. || ||
 * Brake pedal
 * Booster
 * Master cylinder
 * Brake lines
 * Calipers
 * Brake rotor pads
 * Disc or drums
 * Brakes on vehicles work using Pascal’s principle that is using a simple hydraulic principle as seen in fig 3.
 * Now for the hydraulic system to work as a brake system a modification has to be carried out at the left-hand side and at the right hand of the second piston of the system.

 Then a lever is added (brake pedal) to magnify the force applied to the first cylinder (master cylinder) and at the other end, a disc brake system is attached.

 New brake systems attach a power booster unit to increase/magnify that force even more || ||

At an optimum operating system, the pressure will be the same in both circuits. ||
