New Vision Brakes

[YelloEye]

Just saw this on css and figured the engineering and technological minds could take a crack at it. Curious on opinions. http://www.newvisionbrakes.com/Default.aspx

I got together with a good friend of mine and agreed to test out his new brake system. It's a very inovative approach to the old technology of clamping iron disks to stop. They've done some extensive laboratory testing and the results seem to line up with real world experiences. So I'm about to find out...stay tuned...:cyclops:

i cant see the pics because of my work web filter... but idk man.... i'd say probably no bueno...

It's an interesting idea.

1) Who will be able to turn your rotors?
2) What about as the pads wear down, are they going to be able to keep even pressure across the ridges?
3) I see a lot of great stress risers for hoop-stress fractures as the rotors heat and cool.

indeed... probably wouldn't be able to turn them.... also how deep are the cuts? your potentially destroying rotor life, and there are a LOT of concernce with stress/pressure and how the pressure it going to be applied to the rotor... also, pad life would be greatly reduced as well

(again i can't see the pics mostly just going off of a mental image i have based on descriptions i've read, i'm picturing a rotor with VVVV cut into the rotor in loops, and a mirror on the pad... if im wrong please correct me)

You got it

WWWWWW <-rotor

Biggest question is why?

All it's giving you is more surface area.

Yes, it will help it cool faster (marganal at best)

Yes, more pad contact area but unless you have the tires to hold it that's meaning less and if you do you probably want/need more aggressive higher heat pads anyway.

figured... i read the entire CSS thread to see if some idiot needed it explained usually works.

again no pics for me, but wouldn't a beveled edge be better IF this was ever proven?

Saw that too, curious to see what Mr Powell's take is on those.

Think about this......when you get grooves worn into your brakes you have more surface area right? Do your brakes work better at that point? No. Its going to be very difficult for those intricate and sharply cut pads and rotors to create a nice even transfer layer of friction material. That means less actual braking will be being done and uneven wear will take place. There's a reason why brake companies design pass and rotors to be able to clean away dust and debris as well as ie. A smooth surface, these. Brakes will actually promote debris buildup IMO. All those little grooves for things to stick in, and when the pad rocks one or the other when clamping on a spinning rotor its going to force it to run on one side of one set of grooves and on the other side of a different groove. The pad doesn't want to just clamp in one static position

the man has spoken. :solemn:

[TTMR]

I have a better way to increase the braking area with out adding rotor diameter


two or more foating rotors with stator pads inbetween!























Wait that's been done.

Multidisc brakes.......that's an Aviation and F1 thing.

Maven said it well I concur...

There went my get rich pattent!

They would be cool on a show car but Id imagine they be more trouble than theyre worth in the real world

[BLAZIN07SS]

don't the ss/tc rear brakes do this stock?

[09BlueBaltSS]

Hey now lol
