Abstract
An eddy current braking system for a wheel of a vehicle, the vehicle including a chassis and the wheel being rotatably mounted to the chassis, the wheel including a wheel rim made of an electrically-conductive material and extending annularly around a wheel cavity, the system comprising: a magnetic field generating member secured to the chassis and disposed annularly within the wheel cavity and proximal to the wheel rim, the magnetizable member being operable for generating a magnetic field towards the wheel rim to generate eddy current within the wheel rim upon rotation of the wheel; and a magnetic field controller operatively connected to the magnetic field generating member for selectively controlling an intensity of the magnetic field applied by the magnetic field generating member on the wheel rim.
