Eddy current brake

Japanese: 渦電流ブレーキ - うずでんりゅうぶれーき
Eddy current brake

Engine braking is a type of braking that utilizes the compression resistance of the engine and the mechanical friction of the engine and transmission.
[Electric brake]
Although it can also include electromagnetic brakes and eddy current brakes that use the braking action caused by eddy currents generated when a conductor placed between magnetic poles moves, the term electric brake usually refers to regenerative brakes or power regenerative brakes that use an electric motor as a generator. A regenerative brake is a brake in which the electric motor used as a rotary power source is made to function as a generator when it is necessary to slow down, and the torque acting in the direction to stop the rotation is used for braking.

*Some of the terminology used to refer to "eddy current brakes" is listed below.

Japanese:

…なお,自動車の走行中,クラッチを切らずにアクセルから足を離したときに作用するエンジンブレーキは,エンジンの圧縮抵抗,エンジン・変速機の機械摩擦を利用した摩擦ブレーキとみなすことができる。
[電気ブレーキ]
 電磁ブレーキや磁極間におかれた導体が移動するときに生ずる渦電流による制動作用を利用した渦電流ブレーキを含めることもあるが,ふつう電気ブレーキといえば電動機を発電機として用いる発電ブレーキや電力回生ブレーキをいう。発電ブレーキは,回転動力源として用いている電動機を,減速させたいときに発電機として働かせ,その回転を止める方向に働くトルクをブレーキに利用するものである。…
