[Spridgets] Question - Jake Brake

[Dave KK7SS]

Thanks for the explanation.
Now I can understand how it works <Grin>

I know it's not LBC, but why do I see signs that say "No Air Brakes"?

Direct reply is ok if no one else is interested!

In the diesel engine it compresses the air, then the jake brake opens and lets the compression out before the compressed air can push the piston back down.  So basically the engine is functioning as an air compressor.
