I thoughts, now, are to put a row of neo magnets along side the drive line, thus distributing the heat over a relatively large area. The drive line is steel, so do you have any idea of how that will effect the drag? Will the magnetic attraction cause the magnets to pull in close and make...
Thank you, that is one of obstacles I was concerned with. Is there a good place to go to for information with out it getting too technical? Is it better to have thick metal than thin, is better to have solid rather than layered metal. I was hoping to create enough drag to slow my off road...
First time here, hope I'm in the right area!
I have several very strong magnets out of computer hard drives and I am thinking of using them to create a drag brake for my off road vehicle by holding them close to the rotating drive line. I don't think the walls of the drive line may be too thin...
