Eddy current damping utilises the principles of electromagnetic induction to mitigate unwanted vibrations in a variety of structures and machinery. This passive damping technique involves the ...

With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a wide range of sensing technologies Levitation has long been pursued by stage ...

A magnet sliding down a copper ramp is slowed by magnetic fields from eddy currents induced in the tube. A magnet sliding down a Plexiglas ramp is unaffected. A magnet sliding down a brass ramp goes ...
