lol kinda sounds like a stupid question now but I understand them now. They are fun tho me and my friend were driving there farms semi around at midnight one night throwin the jake brake on past every house lol
You're thinking of a driveline retarder. Ambulances and some motor homes use them to save wear on pads and shoes. Big, heavy and man do they get hot in operation! Our tranny dyno used two of them to simulate load. Very cool and VERY effective. Here's more info on how they work:if you want something that is functional...... I saw a device at GATS a couple years ago that was a magnetic driveshaft brake....... I'll be damned if i can find any information on it now.

And these folks supply a lot of the units used in the US:
