These old Army videos are just awesome :)

THIS WAS VERY HELPFULL IN MY UNDERSTANDING OF HOW AIR BRAKE WORK, YES IT IS SOMEWHATE DATED, BUT I BELIEVE THE PRINCIPALS ARE THE SAME, THANKS AGAIN.

Good video. Would have appreciated more if it started by explaining why brake fluid system of brakes found in smaller vehicles was not brake system of choice for these heavy vehicles and can not be used here.

this video is too deadly!!! explains things perfecly for young simple minded, non mechanicly inclined suburbanite potheads like myself. thnk u so much for posting!! very helpfull

Great video, really cleared things up, adding park brakes and anti compound valves would be great too!

Thanks for putting up, informative simple and clear!

best airbrake tutorial ive seen so far!

that was a great explanation. I'm taking my air brake test next week and this helped me understand the reading material I just read!:D

This video is awesome I use in in my brakes class easy to understand can see all the parts moving and working

wow i learned both how compressors and air brakes work in just 10 minutes!!! years of research.

You are both right! He was correct at that time, and you are correct today.

Congrulations to US Army... Now, I really understand how air brake system is operating... Thanks.

if I'm not mistaken, the air disc brake's rotor is made of Carbon fibre-reinforced silicon carbide as well as brake pad. TGV passenger train is using this type of brake since 1980+, used on heavy truck will gave it a passenger car like feel. air disc brake work like a disc brake on many passenger cars, but the material of the brake is different and is actuated by air pressure

Thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

This video is great and easy to understand. Thanks US Army.

in 21th centry, the air disc brake appeared, they have more stopping distance than drum air brake, same braking performance when it was heated. air drum brake on the other hand tend to stop longer distance when heated. air disc brake was used by TGV passenger train and large percentage of truck/buses in europe

old but gold.

The US army does it right! Damn fine learning material.

check out the guy jack hammering away at 33 sec in. check out that protective gear " a hat"

This video is superb. Excellent.
