went to an eaton seminar today about the new automatic traction controls they have coming out. they also got inot air brakes. and the new ebs (electronic braking systems) already in use in europe that they expect to be in the us w/in 5 years. in semis wont be a treadle valve anymore connected to air it will be a ?sp potentiometer which sends a signal to your comptuer that sends air pressure to brakes. you depending on electric connection for brakes. i dont know maybe im old school but i dont trust it. all starting to get way over my head. then we started talking about a toyota pyrus? and even on a gasoline engine which we normally opens closes butterflys to control air and a tps is piggybacked onto that to control fuel now it is all going to be computre. a stepper motor controls your butter fly valve. there is supposely no limp home mode or anything to get home where you stop is where you end up if that stepper motor goes out. also they were talkigna bout that particular car for brakes is going to again be a potentiameter(sp) and a pump will create your fluid pressure for your hydraulic brakes instead of your foot. idea is with the new computers you can create alot of pressure release it quickly and create alot of pressure quickly again and you can create more pressure w/the motor vs your foot. i dont seem to trust all this new fangled stuff. the eaton guy's exact words were we are trying to idiot proof items because the next generation is a dumber breed of itiots. its time for me to retire. this old dog cant learn that many new tricks.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
