ikishawaka hapo wewe kwisha, no way to put out that fire unless a fire engine iko karibu au uingie kwa mto.
ukienda interview ya truck hizi ndizo maswali huulizwa off the cuff ndio ujitege

Isn’t it heat generation as with any other brake application?
Are there any trucks with disc brakes?

Air disc brakes are already being used in trucks mainly in Europe, but their usage in US and India is less. With the large diameter of truck wheels, it is possible to design an effective drum brake with the required large diameter to meet the regulations on stopping distance. The cost of air disc brakes is significantly higher than that of drum brakes of comparable nominal performance.

Though air disc brakes have several advantages, such as consistency in brake performance, less tendency for fading of brakes, and easy changing of brake pads, their application in trucks is limited mainly because of the cost factor.

Incidentally, the use hydraulic disc brakes like the ones used in cars are not possible in truck applications, since the design becomes challenging for the considerably larger weight of the trucks. Moreover, air operated disc brakes have an added advantage when a trailer is attached, since it is easier to connect pressurized air to the trailer for braking through a coupling. Hydraulic connection is less reliable, since even a very small leak in the coupling can result in complete loss of braking. Minor leakage of air in the air-operated system does not cause a major drop in brake performance, because of the availability of reserves in the form of compressed air from the reservoir in the system.

where does the frrrr chhaaa :smiley: sound come from?

Frruuu chipo fruuccooo…
Hata tuletee Ya engine retarder hufanya…Things to do with magnetic induction and propeller couplings slowing down the differential .
Alafu usisahau ile mawe unabeba ya kutega gari ukipark. If muarabu hajnunua ile kitu ya kuweka hapo kwa wheels.

Poor quality lining. Nilisema pads kutoka sasa ata za kagari kadogo nanunua OEM. Nimeboeka kunnukisha brake ama saa ingine naskia ni kama ziko na unga.

Yes there are. A good example is Mercedes trucks.

Either a novice driver or the air brake has problems…

engine brakes/ Jake brakes/ freno the mechanism of those brakes closes the air valves pale kwa mixing chamber reducing engine torque and almost bringing it to a stop. akiachilia valves the uncompressed air is quickly dispelled ndio unaskia ile sauti… this is only applicable with big engines wale wanaweka freno kwa nduthi sijui

Kuna shiny eye wa hizi matatu box nilimuuiliza hiyo freno ni automatic ama anafinya kitu, akaniambia hiyo ni ya kutoa makaa kwa exhaust :D:D:D. I assumed he meant kutoa carbon kwa exhaust. @Meria Mata please explain.

huyo ni deree wa Petanns ama UNIK,
they just know how to drive without anyknowledge of how an engine works.
