Brake system is a device that creates frictions to slow down and eventually to stop the movement of an object. There are a few different types of brakes; however‚ they are all built on the same principle of friction. In automotive‚ the most common type of brake today is the disc brake because it provides higher efficiency and more safety to users. Disc brake consists of brake fluid‚ a piston‚ a caliper‚ brake pads‚ a rotor‚ and a hub. The following is a basic description of a disc brake’s mechanism

Air pollution by Chris Woodford. Last updated: September 14‚ 2014. There’s nothing quite like opening the door and breathing fresh‚ clean‚ air—but how clean is the air you’re breathing right now? Unless you’re a scientist with a chemistry lab at your fingertips‚ there’s no real way of knowing. The gases you’re sucking up through your nose could be slowly killing you: according to the World Health Organization‚ around two million people die prematurely from the effects of polluted air every

Into Thin Air takes place in the area around and on Mount Everest in the year 1996. This is significant because at that altitude‚ the oxygen level isn’t as high as it would be at sea level. With their brains not receiving enough oxygen‚ the climbers were not able to think at their full mental capacity. Therefore many simple mistakes were made that should not have been. High altitude cerebral edema and high altitude pulmonary edema caused problems with some of the climbers and Sherpas. Beck Weather’s
