Hyperbrake Tech Saves Fuel and Eliminates Parts

A new technology from the Janel Hydro Company, who aims at improving safety and efficiency of automotive braking systems, recently completed a successful testing. Dubbed Hyperbrake, the new system went through preliminary testing, and results indicate neither heat nor cold stressing will negatively affect its operation.

"The preliminary thermal stress tests of the Hyperbrake were very successful. Heating the unit to 202 degrees  Fahrenheit and cooling the unit to -46 degrees Fahrenheit had no substantial adverse issues with the operation of the unit. The test ran just as we had expected," Roger Florkiewicz, ACSS President and Engineering Manager, said in a release.

"Our initial milestones have been completed with our successful testing of the Hyperbrake. We will now move forward identifying potential development partners to work with us in bringing this product to the automotive, heavy equipment, aviation and other markets with hydraulic applications," added Tan Chen, Janel Hydro President and CEO.

The Hyperbrake system has the ability to work as a stand-alone brake system or in combination with the stock braking systems on new or used vehicles. It is a hydraulic intensification device that increases system pressures with minimal effort. It allows the removal of the vacuum booster system which is currently standard on all new automobiles.

According to official information coming from the company, preliminary testing shows vehicles with the Hyperbrake system installed take up to 166 feet less to stop than vehicles without it, thereby increasing vehicle safety. The Hyperbrake also has the potential to improve fuel economy and reduce costs.

"Janel Hydro Hyperbrake will be a critical component for a high performance vehicle braking system," concluded Henry Zhang of Purdue University's Technical Assistance Program.
