Views +1: Wireless bike khrkhrya work most of the time
Researchers have developed a wireless bicycle brake that works nearly all the time, think about proof-of-concept that could open the door to wireless brakes on airplanes and trains.
Bicycle brake wire is not exactly what it sounds like - instead of cable snaking down the framework to stop the wheels spin when you pull the lever, stop signal is sent wirelessly.
What's more, the signal sent by linking rubber grip on the handlebars to pull a lever. A pressure sensor in the rubber turn signal sent by radio waves to a receiver on the bike fork that activates the brake disc.
Up works 99.999999999997 percent of the time, according to Holger Hermanns, computer scientists at Saarland University in Germany, was designed and measured the performance of the brake.
"This means that one trillion braking power, we have three errors," he said in a statement. "This is not perfect, but acceptable."
Brakes are never any kind of 100 percent fail-safe, but according to the fickle will use wireless technology to connect your laptop to the Internet or on your cell phone to call seems risky.
But wireless systems trend toward implementation in areas where failure is an option, eg to stop the trains and planes.
Brakes concrete plans for European trains have wireless already, according to Herman. But a brake test wireless train complex and risky proposition. That's why it took the wireless bicycle brake.
"The wireless bike brake playground we needed to optimize methods for working in more complex systems," he said.
Researchers tested the effectiveness of the algorithms used for aircraft and chemical plants, where failure is more serious than that the bike loses its brakes.
While the future of trains and planes, in fact, stop the implementation of wireless slows, for now, Hermann said he is looking for engineers to use the system for bicycles.
