Theoretically, you could, but it would have to be highly compressed, and then, the pedal might be too hard to press (without making things complex and too bulky for a regular car). Let's start with some background. Matter takes three forms - solid, liquid, and gas. A solid has a definite volume and shape. A liquid has a definite volume, but can take the shape of its container. A gas has an indefinite volume and shape, meaning you can force nearly any amount into a container - assuming the container is strong enough.
Anyway, a liquid is the best thing to use in brake lines because liquid has a definite volume and responds immediately to any pressure behind it.. A gas would be too "spongy" (compression, motion loss) and not respond fast enough (too much latency). If the line is not pressurized to at least what is needed for braking, the shoes or calipers would not work. But if you have it too strong, the driver could not apply the brakes. So for general use in small passenger vehicles, fluid brakes are the most practical.
In trucks which use air brakes, there are a couple of ways they overcome these problems. They use both regular air brakes and "spring brakes" (for emergencies and perhaps for use during coupling). The two work in opposite ways. The regular airbrakes require air to release. While that can cause difficulties in getting the rig moving on occasion, the braking response is very good. That way, the latency and loss of motion introduced by the air doesn't interfere with braking. However, if there is a leak in the lines, the trailer will cause the rig to lock down, since the brakes are applied by default.
The spring brakes are not as good in braking as the main brakes because of the air latency and motion loss issues due to the nature of air. But that dilemma is reduced because of an air tank under the trailer and a relay valve. The tank addresses the challenges by putting the air source closer to the brakes and reducing the compression in the lines. I think it is a drop in pressure that causes the relay valve to engage (much like how the regular brakes get engaged). If I remember right, if you have no trailer, you have to engage the trailer brake valve to avoid a loss of air from the compressor.
What else can I help you with?
Can you use polypropylene pipes in gas line?
YES
Can you use compression fittings on natural gas pipes?
No. You can use flared fittings with a flaring tool and soft copper pipe.
Why can't you use gas in a brake pipe?
Gas is compressible, which means it can compress under pressure and cause the brake pedal to feel spongy and reduce the braking efficiency. Liquids like brake fluid are used in brake systems because they are incompressible, ensuring a consistent and reliable transfer of force from the brake pedal to the brakes.
What is the recommended type of thread tape for gas pipes to ensure a secure and leak-proof connection?
The recommended type of thread tape for gas pipes is yellow PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) tape. It is specifically designed for use with gas lines to create a secure and leak-proof connection.
How come the parking pin in my transmission will not release in any gear?
it sounds like it may be sized espeshialy if it has been sitting for a while you could just brake in intionnaly and just use the e-brake when you park to brake it just put it in drive and step on the gas a suple of times
Why cant you use potassium for water pipes?
Potassium reacts very violently with water, leading to the production of hydrogen gas and heat, which can cause explosions and fires. Using potassium in water pipes can lead to safety hazards and damage to the pipes. It is not chemically stable enough for use in this application.
How do you stop rolling back on a hill in automatic car?
Use the brake or the emergency brake. You could also give just the right amount of gas to make the car stay put but that's a lot of work. Or you could put a log or something sturdy behind the wheels Left foot on brake pedal, right foot on accelerator pedal
Why would you not use sodium for making water pipes?
Sodium reacts vigorously with water, resulting in the production of flammable hydrogen gas. This could pose a safety hazard in water pipes, especially if they are exposed to moisture. Additionally, sodium can corrode certain materials used in pipes, leading to structural damage and leaks.
What type pipe to use for argon?
For transporting argon gas, stainless steel or aluminum pipes are recommended due to their non-reactive properties with argon. These materials prevent contamination of the gas and ensure safe and efficient delivery. It is important to ensure that the pipes are clean and free from any contaminants before use.
How to measure gas pipe?
I use the Pipe Friendly Tape Measure by TekForce. It makes measuring pipes easier and faster.
How do you get gas off of seat of car without staining it?
use brake clean in a can with clean rag
How do you use the word brake in a sentence?
The parking brake was on.I applied the brake so I could stop.Instead of brake, most times the necessary word is brakes.
