Wireless bike brake that fails only three times in a trillion could revolutionize bike control systems.
German scientists are working on a new braking system for bicycles that has the sensory capabilities of a computer mouse yet operates like the brakes we know today i.e. the more pressure exerted on the handlebars the harder the brakes are applied. This braking system seems to work so well that it could one day be applied to larger modes of transportation like aircraft and trains.Many pilots already fly by wire, but now one German scientist wants to get rid of the cables too. And his wireless braking system on a bike could pave the way after he proved it would only fail three times in a trillion attempts. Computer scientists at Saarland University, Germany, have developed a wireless bicycle brake they say could revolutionise control systems.
