Independent Testing

Here is the technical part of the BrakeTurbine story.  It is the result of testing by one of the premier auto testing facilities in the world, and it took place on October 27th, 1998 in Detroit, MI.  What they found out backed up years of customer testimonials, conclusively demonstrating that BrakeTurbines significantly decrease lining temperatures on brake parts, dramatically increasing stopping power and brake life. 

The bottom line:

50% to 150% longer brake life.
