HI FOLKS,
I helped Jim K Develop the Manufacturing process of the Rear Brake
Drum Control Arm System which he now owns as well as the Patent which
has been applied for.
The "advertising" video uses selected scenes from many test stops at
45 MPH with and without the enhancement. Jim probably picked the
extremes to tell the story. I do know that the Panic stop output
data was based on count of revolutions after wheel skid.
WITHOUT CONTROL ARMS The intermediate wheel rotation after the rear
wheel stopped ranged from 8 to 11. 9 revolutions was the "sweet
spot". 8' circumference X 9 was given up as 75'.
WITH CONTROL ARMS The wheel skid alternated between intermediate and
the rear wheel. One of the 10 stops no wheels skidded. He elected to
use this one to best represent and "advertise" the system.
Regardless, the Data to reach the 32' stop derived from 10 stops which
ranged from 3.5 revolutions to 6.25 revolutions. 8 circumference X 4
was given up as 32'.
IN SHORT, a marked improvement was experienced and represented in the
videos. Could more controlled tests be done? Yes, but at what cost?
As for the skepticism or reality check on 32' in this discussion, yes
it could be studied and researched further. The obvious thing that
comes to mind is our vehicles have a 6 wheel contact patch VS an auto
with a 4 wheel contact patch. Now that all wheels contribute to
de-acceleration we might be pleasantly surprised.
