Translations:Hydrodynamic Brake/2/en
Appearance
To make the hydrodynamic brake operational, the driver needs to disengage the throttle and have the reverser set to the direction the vehicle is moving. The brake is typically operated by a lever that controls the amount of hydraulic fluid inside of the coupling, inducing extra friction to the fluid inside, as needed. This slows the vehicle down at the cost of heating up the fluid.
