Thermal Camera (Car Break)

So you're driving for more than 30 minutes with constant stops, corners and humps along the way.
you're about to turn another corner and it slaps you so hard in the face that you had to park up to see if its literally on fire.

The scent of burn break have you considering and contemplating if your journey should continued or cancel. Then it ponders on your mind which leads to asking yourself how hot your car break really is.

Well, this can easily be determined with a Thermal Camera. Yes a THERMAL CAMERA!
The Camera shows us 5 different points where heat is registered on the break pad: The rotor before the break pad, the leading edge of the break pad, the rotor after passing through the caliper, the wheel hub and the back of the break pad.

A thermal camera also called an infrared camera promotes thermography which captures images using infrared.

This illustrates the thermal camera on an active car break.
