What are the steps that separate an original idea into a finished product? There are quite a few. You will see how they create parts for these new brakes using Computer Aided Design, perform tests with virtual models, machine prototype parts, do laborator

  • Damn you 240p!!!

  • top tv show

  • why do we need these brakes? just seems pointless since the brakes we use now are just fine the tire can only hold so much before it looses friction. also imagine rebuilding these things lol would be an all day job with what used to take one hr

  • Seems like this guy has no idea how cars work, nor has any interest in them.

  • @mgrinshpon Good comment, but, I still think that transition may not be fast enough. I feel having a surface open to ducted air is far better, ie, common setup. I can see this being a good idea on perhaps light aircraft, where the brakes would only be used once every 2 hrs or so, but cars use them all the time, I still feel they would get too hot. Actually, thinking about it, planes have OIL COOLED clutch pack style brake setup, which makes me wonder about the above design even more, no oil...

  • The guy has no lips....His teeth are just connected to his forehead......wow, I did'nt know that was possible

    I am a stock holder and very disappointed to see this happen. I never did find out what happened with the company. I still think it is a smart concept and practical.

  • Sadly, Newtech went offline in 2009 and its investors lost trace of their money. The case is under investigation by the financial authorities. The product will probably never be marketed. I always wondered if the claimed benefits were real (lighter; higher braking power) or simply a pretext for engineers to play with fancy toys all day long.

  • Fuck ya. That person was mobbin' the shit outta that Navigator.

  • have not seen many rotors in your life have you.

    Brake fade WILL be an issue.

    Ever heard of a drum brake? this is like going back 30 years.
