These old Army videos are just awesome :)

[@3dopepimps]

this video is too deadly!!! explains things perfecly for young simple minded, non mechanicly inclined suburbanite potheads like myself. thnk u so much for posting!! very helpfull

[@mabvutondhlovu1163]

Good video. Would have appreciated more if it started by explaining why brake fluid system of brakes found in smaller vehicles was not brake system of choice for these heavy vehicles and can not be used here.

[@slikpik88]

Great video, really cleared things up, adding park brakes and anti compound valves would be great too!

[@MAJORBCI]

THIS WAS VERY HELPFULL IN MY UNDERSTANDING OF HOW AIR BRAKE WORK, YES IT IS SOMEWHATE DATED, BUT I BELIEVE THE PRINCIPALS ARE THE SAME, THANKS AGAIN.

[@LTF85199]

Thanks for putting up, informative simple and clear!

[@SunfireGTX25]

that was a great explanation. I'm taking my air brake test next week and this helped me understand the reading material I just read!:D

[@Mopar360cii]

best airbrake tutorial ive seen so far!

[@donaldfernandez451]

This video is awesome I use in in my brakes class easy to understand can see all the parts moving and working

[@d1drifter87]

wow i learned both how compressors and air brakes work in just 10 minutes!!! years of research.

[@josephtan1818]

if I'm not mistaken, the air disc brake's rotor is made of Carbon fibre-reinforced silicon carbide as well as brake pad. TGV passenger train is using this type of brake since 1980+, used on heavy truck will gave it a passenger car like feel. air disc brake work like a disc brake on many passenger cars, but the material of the brake is different and is actuated by air pressure

[@jri350]

You are both right! He was correct at that time, and you are correct today.

[@josephtan1818]

in 21th centry, the air disc brake appeared, they have more stopping distance than drum air brake, same braking performance when it was heated. air drum brake on the other hand tend to stop longer distance when heated. air disc brake was used by TGV passenger train and large percentage of truck/buses in europe

Congrulations to US Army... Now, I really understand how air brake system is operating... Thanks.

[@mikehynz]

This video is superb. Excellent.

[@saludos928]

ESTA MUY INTERESANTE EL VIDEO AUQUE ES ALGO VIEJITO, ES EL MISMO PRINCIPIO DE SISTEMA DE FRENOS DE AIRE, GRACIAS POR COMPARTILO CON TODSS LOS USUARIOS DE ESTA PAGINA, SI TIENS MAS VIDEOS ASI SE LE AGRADESE

[@cpd686]

This video is great, it helps me a lot.

[@Adoken101]

Thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@dongyang31]

This video is great and easy to understand. Thanks US Army.

[@xdygmnyrdf]

old but gold.

[@crapper1]

well my trainer said study your airbrakes and this helped alot

[@Aridanx]

The US army does it right! Damn fine learning material.

[@qazwas2001]

@tomas599 The video is from 1967, that is the date at the start when it says "The United States Army Presents"

[@azhar174]

thanks aloooot man
it helped me alot with my project
you rockzzz

[@crapper1]

the dmv should give this on dvd for the cdl manual on airbrakes

[@redron357]

@qazwas2001 MANY parts have changed and are different. I have just taken the AirBrake course.

[@tomas599]

check out the guy jack hammering away at 33 sec in. check out that protective gear " a hat"

[@DmajikDesign]

i want a tv show like this

[@463570joe]

Cool. Ah how things have changed since then.

[@roadwolf2]

there was no metion of the park brake release valves

[@talotto13]

Except that my brakes operate on release of pressure, not by the pressure itself. If I lose pressure, my brakes are applied and I can't move. I believe that's true of all modern air brake systems.

[@treztrez8660]

can't explain it better

[@yoimalex]

I have 2 army trailers. Both 6 ton. When the air is in the reservoir but is not connected to the tractor the trailer will not move. Its backwards from civilian trailers. Mostly because in an emergency a guy could open the valve and drain the air in the trailer tank and release the brakes. Thus pulling the trailer to a safe location or whatever the army wants. Just no brakes on the trailer when the valve is open, not safe but they don't really care about that when in a combat mode. The design i

[@73k5blazer]

thats some good info!!! 5 stars

[@yaidontknowwhattoput]

that coil spring is just as big as the ones used in the suspension of a prius

[@qazwas2001]

It is amazing how 95% of the parts haven't changed in 40 years.

[@Tb0n3]

50 now.

[@tomas599]

@qazwas2001 40 years, that would make this video from 1970, this video was probley made in the late 40's

[@tomas599]

@qazwas2001 oh yeah 1967 at the start, yeah your right. wow looked 50's at the lates to me anyway.

[@sitampatidar9365]

It's good easily understood

[@franssantos9417]

Salute

[@MDGamingPH]

@11:24, WTF that animation is cute!

[@mageac]

@qazwas2001 little more advanced, but yea pretty much the same

[@oaubert]

And that is why city buses go: PSSSSSSHHHHHHH

[@Happyflute007]

🤣🤣🤣

[@jona8537]

still don't understand

[@sayrith]

if you decide to coast downhill with the engine off or the engine suddenly dies.....you're fuuuuuucked.

[@flamingtoast13]

why did i watch this?

[@xdygmnyrdf]

because it's fun, educational and free. in other words, the exact opposite of university.

[@DJSTOEK]
