brake booster
Stopping force multiplier
A brake booster is a device in a vehicle's braking system that amplifies the force applied to the brake pedal, making it easier to stop the car.
Most use engine vacuum to multiply pedal pressure, allowing drivers to brake effectively without requiring excessive leg strength.
Also called a power brake booster or servo.
