I didn’t think I would find this video interesting but it is! The clip isn’t slowed down or anything, its in real time but the falling magnet creates an eddy current that exerts a damping force on the magnet. [YouTube]
If you have anything you think would be interesting to share on this blog

Stuff I think is worth sharing taken from the b-sides.

hahaha that’s super neat! :D
COOOOOL….
I want one!
nice … looks simple to do but does it require anything other than a magnet and copper tube ?
so why dont we use magnets as dampers in cars?
Hahaha! Amaazing!! Kinda like the Matrix or somethin’
The magic of science!
im actually studying this as one of my demonstration experiments in physics here in dublin lmao
exams are in a month so thanks for the reminder mark :P
@ 3azeez: they are some applications of it in some new cars + breaking systems as well.
@ Mark: ok I am surprised you know Eddy and his current :P
interesting…
3azeez many cars use a form of magnetic dampers. the Corvette ZR-1 is one example.
That’s a real-life ‘Bullet Time’ effect :)
That is neat
