Indeed. Eddy current brakes are sometimes used for load testing of motors (I once played with a very small one at school, where it was connected to a DC motor and used for teaching about PID loops ...

Eddy currents, also called Foucault current, are loops of electrical current induced within a conductor by a time-varying magnetic field in that conductor (Figure 1). This phenomenon of induction was ...

A magnet falling down a copper tube is slowed by magnetic fields from eddy currents induced in the tube. A magnet falling down a glass tube is unaffected. Set up lab stands, each with a 3-finger clamp ...

Apr 26, 2014 21:00:33 I tried to experiment the mysterious phenomenon that aluminum floating in the air melts. A movie saying that a massive aluminum block floats in the air, gradually melting in ...

Yes, eddy currents drive the copper hub, but at a 100 RPM difference. Where does all of that ... It also builds on his recent experiments with rewinding commercial BLDCs to turn them into ...

The motion of a solid metal plate moving in and out between the poles of a strong magnet is damped out by eddy currents. When the slotted edge of the plate is used, the braking effect of induced eddy ...

Intrigued by this problem, the team—which also includes Yinghe Qi, a PhD student in Ni's Fluid Transport Lab and undergraduates Noah Corbitt and Carl Urbanik—designed an experimental environment that ...

An international research team has published the results of an ocean iron fertilization experiment (EIFEX) carried out in 2004 in the current issue of the scientific journal Nature. Unlike the ...

Electric currents and magnetic fields are closely related. If you have one, you often have (or can make) the other. The braking force in the demonstration is due to an eddy current .
