Claims
- 1. A motor vehicle hydraulic brake comprising:
(a) an electric motion sensor to indicate wheel lock up of the vehicle, (b) a sensor which senses hydraulic pressure in the break lines of said vehicle, (c) a container of abrasive material with an electronically activated valve with opening on to the vehicle driving surface in front of a tire of said vehicle, (d) a computer controller with means of opening said electronically activated valve when said pressure sensor measures the pressure for lock up below a predetermined value and opens the valve thus ejecting the abrasive material.
- 2. The brake of claim 1 wherein said abrasive material is a liquid containing abrasive solids.
- 3. The brake of claim 1 wherein said fixed value is a function of vehicle speed at lock up.
- 4. The brake of claim 1 wherein said abrasive material is deposited in front of said vehicle.
- 5. The brake of claim 1 wherein said material is an adhesive.
- 6. The brake of claim 1 wherein said material is a salt.
- 7. The brake of claim 1 wherein said valve can be opened manually by a driver inside the vehicle via an override switch.
- 8. The break of claim 1 wherein said electronically activated valve opens to different degrees according to vehicle speed thus allowing a specific flow rate of said abrasive material for each speed.
- 9. A motor vehicle hydraulic brake with anti-lock breaking system comprising:
(e) an electric motion sensor to indicate wheel lock of the vehicle, (f) a sensor which senses hydraulic pressure in the break lines of said vehicle, (g) a container of abrasive material with an electronically activated valve opening on to the vehicle driving surface in front of a tire of said vehicle, (h) a computer controller with means of opening said electronically activated valve when said pressure sensor measures the pressure for lock up below a predetermined value and opens the valve thus ejecting the abrasive material.
- 10. The brake of claim 9 wherein said abrasive material is a liquid containing abrasive solids.
- 11. The brake of claim 9 wherein said fixed value is a function of vehicle speed at lock up.
- 12. The brake of claim 9 wherein said abrasive material is deposited in front of said vehicle.
- 13. The brake of claim 9 wherein said material is an adhesive.
- 14. The brake of claim 9 wherein said material is a salt.
- 15. The brake of claim 9 wherein said valve can be opened manually by a driver inside of vehicle via an override switch.
- 16. The brake of claim 9 wherein said electronically activated valve opens to different degrees according to vehicle speed thus allowing a specific flow rate of said abrasive material for each speed.
- 17. A traction system for a motor vehicle comprising:
(a) An sensor with means of indicating tire slippage during acceleration, (b) An sensor with means of measuring torque applied to said tire during slippage, (i) A container of abrasive material with an electronically activated valve with opening on to the vehicle driving surface in front or rear of said tire of said vehicle, (j) A computer with means of opening said electronically activated valve when said torque sensor measures the torque for lock up below a predetermined value and opens the valve thus ejecting the abrasive material.
- 18. The traction system of claim 17 wherein said abrasive material is a liquid containing abrasive solids.
- 19. The traction system of claim 17 wherein said abrasive material is deposited on top of the tires.
- 20. The brake of claim 17 wherein said material is a salt.
