Reduces friction which is what they need to work but they generate a lot of heat, light pressure applied off and on for a few taps dries them out pretty quick.
yes, if water comes into contact with the brake disk, braking will be affected dramatically. its only once this coating of water has been removed soes the pad contact the disk. It is for this reason that manufacturers recommend lightly applying the brakes after going through deep water to remove any water (Some new cars do this automatically)
They both use the hydraulic system!

Yes, water in a heating system can evaporate in hot weather, especially if the system is not properly sealed or insulated. This evaporation can lead to a loss of water in the system and potentially affect its efficiency. Regular maintenance and monitoring of water levels can help prevent this issue.
They both use hydraulics to function.
A decrease in the overall heat transfer coefficient due to fouling or dirt buildup can reduce the efficiency of heat transfer in a system. This can lead to a decrease in the water flow rate as the system needs to compensate for the reduced heat transfer efficiency. Increased resistance to heat transfer can result in higher energy consumption and reduced performance of the system.
Uncontrolled industrial wastes can contaminate the water system.
Both systems use pressure to create movement: in a car, it is hydraulic pressure in the braking system that activates the brakes, while in a sea star, the water vascular system uses hydraulic pressure to operate tube feet for movement and feeding. Additionally, both systems rely on fluid to generate force and control movement within the system.
If you're asking about a boat, the quick answer is no. Some have braking systems but they simply push against the water in order to slow the boat down. They can't stop it instantly like brakes in a car.
They clean the water you drink
Water often collects in a pneumatic system due to condensation. As the compressed air cools down, water vapor in the air condenses and accumulates in the system. This can lead to issues such as corrosion, reduced efficiency, and damage to equipment.
