I suggest redoing the test after either replacing or milling the surfaces of those copper pads then re-turning the rotors to clean them properly, since the copper pads appear to be contaminated by residue aluminium from the aluminium test and gave you poor results

@teardowndan5364 Жыл бұрын
Once you brake hard enough to lock up the wheels, your brake pads no longer have any influence on stopping distance and threshold braking (not locking up) gives you better distance than locking wheels while also sparing the very high tire wear.
@blahorgaslisk7763 Жыл бұрын
Threshold braking give shorter stopping distance on tarmac and regular roads. On gravel locking the wheels actually is likely to result in shorter stopping distance. This is because the gravel builds up in front of the locked wheel increasing the friction over what is possible for a rolling wheel. Snow can act the same way while on tarmac, concrete or any other hard surface locked wheels means a longer stopping distance. But locking the wheels always means you are giving up any pretense to control the direction the car travels in. So ABS or threshold braking if you don't have ABS is almost always preferable even if the stopping distance can get slightly longer on gravel. Oh and threshold braking is never as good as ABS. Never! Neither in allowing you to retain control or in getting the shortest possible stopping distance. Well retaining control isn't entirely true. Locking the breaks can allow you to perform maneuvers you can't otherwise do. But it takes skills most people don't have and in a panic situation I'd much rather have a vehicle that steer better.

@blahorgaslisk7763 Жыл бұрын
@@tiagobelo4965 Good video, but not enough to convince me I should disable ABS and use threshold braking instead. It's my personal opinion that is you regularly rely on ABS when braking in your daily driving you are living on borrowed time. In any situation other than competition the ABS should never need to engage unless something catastrophic is happening. Whenever you feel ABS working you were either driving to fast or are braking to hard. Like stated in the video from Team O'Neil you have to plan ahead when driving. If you have to rely on ABS to slow down enough to take a curve you are just a few ounces of lose gravel on the road from having a very bad day. ABS is for the situations you can't predict such as a child running out from behind a parked car, a deer taking a leap up onto the road only to freeze in your headlights. It's for the kind of situations when your brain goes into panic mode, not for helping you drive faster and brake later. And when things like that happens the brains reaction time is still not good enough, so you really don't have time to find that perfect brake pressure that won't lock up your wheels.

As for the rotors themselves, I think a normal carbon fiber composite would suffer failure of the resin due to heat. However carbon fibers are often used as a component of ceramic rotors used in the brakes of high performance cars and aircraft.

Aluminum with lubricant. It wouldn't be ideal in the real world because you would constantly have to relube and clean dirt. But I am just curious from a performance standpoint. I would THINK the lube/oil would help with cooling, the initial over bite, and the fusing. Would have to see how it affects stopping power though. In my mind with how aggressive they bite, even with the lube, just apply more pressure and they will still go to full lockup
