  • best channel ever!

  • @Xx1eLiTe1xX Thanks! Glad you like it!

  • its 4am and I cant stop learning more..thumbs up bro

  • @MustangTogunner haha thank you!

  • how do they figure out how fast its physically possible to decelerate the wheel? wouldn't it depend on the surface you're driving on and how much traction you're getting? nice video, though :P

  • @Benlucky13 Yes, it does. But say the tire decelerates at greater than 1 g. For most cars, this is impossible, so ABS would kick in and pump the brakes.

  • Nice explanetion dude.

  • @EngineeringExplained ah, that makes sense. and now that i think about it the tire would more easily decelerate and thus more easily register 1g (or whatever number a vehicles abs is based on), and the inverse would also be true. i guess i was thinking that somehow the rate the tire can decelerate safely would be more of a variable... thanks :D

  • I love you. I had to explain this for a project and I was totally lost. Thank you thank you thank you.

  • @Beef1188 I'm not sure but I wouldn't doubt it. Apparently even the Bugatti's emergency handbrake has ABS.
