How does it work?
-
Rotating parts called rotors are attached to the driveshaft. Separated by a narrow air gap, the stator is connected to the vehicle chassis. When electricity flows through the stator coils, electromagnetic fields with alternate polarities are created. As the rotors pass through these fields, eddy currents are generated which slow the rotors and thus slow the driveshaft. Any heat generated during braking is self-dissipated through the rotor vanes.
