The Lexus RX400: A Step Above the Rest of the Hybrids
Hybrid car technology has revealed yet more assets for the 2006 Lexus Hybrid: Performance. In 2005, when the 2006 Lexus RX400 first came out into public, it revealed combined fuel efficiency with an EPA average rating for a four- cylinder compact sedan. The RX400h is a super ultra-low emissions vehicle. This means that if you drive from New York to LA and back nine times (54,000 miles) you would produce less-smog forming emissions than cars that are not super ultra-low emissions vehicles.

Brake Systems: Not an abstract theory
Brake operation is not abstract theory but a great example of applied science. We can look at brake troubleshooting from two engineering viewpoints-conversion of kinetic energy to thermal energy, and the application of hydraulic principles. Let's start with stopping power and then move to the hydraulic applications.

Modern Brakes: Are they any better?
Modern brakes were invented in the late 19th century, around the same time as the tyre. Up until then, vehicles had wooden wheels that were stopped by large wooden blocks, lowered into position by the driver using a simple lever system. When tyres were invented, the wooden block system wasn't good enough to stop them at the higher speeds they could achieve, which meant that a new braking system had to be invented.n

A Show Stopping Invention. The History of Brakes
Brakes have been refined and improved ever since their invention. The increases in traveling speeds as well as the growing weights of cars have made these improvements essential. The faster a car goes and the heavier it is, the harder it is to stop. An effective braking system is needed to accomplish this task. Today's cars often use a combination of disc brakes and drum brakes. Disc brakes are usually located on the front two wheels and drum brakes on the back two wheels. Detroit is searching for even better engineered braking systems that will allow automobiles to decelerate in a shorter distance, while still allowing drivers to maintain control of their car.

Avoid Car Accidents and Save Money on Your Insurance. How to Choose the Right Brakes for Your Car
Brake technology, just like suspension technology and fuel-system technology, has come a long way in recent years. What began in the '60s as a serious attempt to provide adequate braking for performance cars has ended in an industry where brakes range from supremely adequate to downright phenomenal. The introduction of components like carbon fiber, sintered metal and lightweight steel, along with the adoption of ABS, have all contributed to reduced stopping distances and generally safer vehicles (though ABS continues to provide controversy).
