Air is easily compressed and the amount of fluid that must be pushed into the brake lines to transmit the force to the brakes increases greatly when air is present.
Normally, the brake is activated by the brake pedal connected to the master cylinder. The master cylinder has a small piston that moves when you press on the brake pedal and that piston pushes brake fluid out of the cylinder and into the brake lines which ultimately causes brake fluid to flow to the wheel cylinders which them move and provide the force to press the brake pad against the disc or brake drum connected to the wheel.
When there is air in the brake lines, the master cylinder pushed more fluid in than the amount of fluid that comes out at the wheel cylinders. This is because the air in the brake line is being compressed where in the normal situation there is essentially no compression of the brake fluid. Thus, to apply the same amount of force to the brake pads, the piston in the master cylinder has to move further. If there is a lot of air, then the piston has to move much further. If there is truly a large amount of air, then the piston in the master cylinder may move through its entire allowed distance and still not provide enough pressure to adequately press the brake pad against the frictional surface connected to the wheel.
Three things to notice that decrease braking effectiveness and hence are dangerous.
1. Air in the lines gets compressed so that the amount of force creating friction at the wheels is less when compared to the same amount of mechanical movement of the brake mechanism.
2. The maximum amount of braking force is limited if the amount of air allows the piston in the master cylinder to travel its full length.
3. If you have air in the lines, it may be caused by a leak and more air may enter and further decrease braking effectiveness.
Air in brake lines is usually a simple problem and easy to correct by "bleeding" the brakes.

How do you get rid of air in your pipes?
Well if you just carry on as normal and let the water run eventually all the air should come out. That's what i did and it work. It took about 2 days but i didn't have much air in my pipes. It can be difficult. Most homes in the US are required to have a device that prevents air hammers, which risk shaking pipes loose and cause flooding. One thing that may help is to turn off all the water in the house and opening the very top valve in the highest place in the home.

How do you thaw frozen water pipes on a moblie home?
When I use to live up North in Canada (-45 below) we would put "Red Devil" into the pipes before leaving to go on holidays. This stops the pipes from freezing. When we got back to the trailer we would flush out the pipes by leave faucets running for approx. a 1/2 hour. I now live in B.C. and although fairly warm winters we have had a few nasty ones (just had a cold winter) and I take a hair dryer and heat the pipe up. Also if you let hot water from a kettle run through (a little at a time) it loosens things up.
Opening in a wall to let air in or out?
An opening in a wall to let air in or out is commonly referred to as a vent or window. Vents are designed to facilitate airflow for ventilation, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and improve air quality. Windows can serve a similar purpose, allowing natural light and fresh air while providing a view to the outside. Both features are essential for maintaining comfort and preventing moisture buildup in indoor spaces.
Why does an engine have valves?
To let the fuel and air into the cylinder and to let the exhaust out. Inside a motor there is a space (cylinder) where fuel and air is compressed by a piston then ignighted by a sparkplug. A valve is a little round disk with a stem coming out of its middle. The valve moves into that space creating an outlet around it past the stem. Every cylinder will have at least two valves.. 1 for fuel & air and 1 for exhaust. Hope that was helpful I tried to keep it simple as possible.

At what temperature do pipes freeze, and what can be done to prevent it?
Pipes can freeze at temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. To prevent this, you can insulate pipes, keep cabinets open to allow warm air to circulate, and let faucets drip to keep water flowing.
How can I remove air from water pipes effectively?
To remove air from water pipes effectively, you can start by turning off the water supply and opening all faucets. Then, locate the highest faucet in your home and open it to release the air. Next, slowly turn on the water supply and let it run until the air is completely removed from the pipes. Repeat this process if necessary until the water flows smoothly without any air bubbles.
At what temperature do pipes freeze, and what precautions can be taken to prevent it?
Pipes can freeze at temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. To prevent this, you can insulate pipes, keep cabinets open to allow warm air to circulate, and let faucets drip during cold weather.
How can I protect outdoor pipes from freezing?
To protect outdoor pipes from freezing, you can insulate them with foam sleeves or heat tape, keep them exposed to warm air flow, and let faucets drip during cold weather to prevent water from freezing inside the pipes.
