A brake sphere apparatus of a spherical braking system is mounted on the axle or drive shaft of a vehicle. A brake sphere is connected to a wheel hub and rotates simultaneously together with the wheel hub. A housing contains the brake sphere, two brake pads on opposing sides of the brake sphere, and two hydraulic shafts respectively driving the two brake pads. Two hydraulic lines are connected to the two hydraulic shafts through the housing, the two hydraulic shafts press the two brake pads against the brake sphere when pressure is applied through the two hydraulic lines. Cooling is provided to cool the brake sphere when torque is applied to said brake sphere to decrease simultaneous rotation of the brake sphere and wheel hub.
