Hydraulic brake

A hydraulic brake uses fluid to transfer force from the brake pedal to the brake pads. When you press the pedal, it pushes a piston in a cylinder, creating pressure in brake fluid. This pressure travels through hoses to another set of pistons at the wheels, which then clamp down on the brake rotors. This action slows down or stops the vehicle. Hydraulic brakes are effective because they amplify the force applied, allowing for smoother and more controlled stopping compared to mechanical brakes. They are commonly found in cars, bicycles, and various types of machinery.
