Eddy Current Experiment Using 2 Big Neodymium Magnets

http://MagnetNerd.com Drop a Neodymium Magnet between 2 aluminum plates and you generate Eddy Currents. What happens when you drop an aluminum plate between 2 Neodymium Magnets? Using 2 of my Neo Rockers to hold a pair of 2" by 2" by 1" thick Neodymium Magnets I built a rig to hold them close together in attraction mode. The Aluminum Bar is 2" by 12" by 1" thick and weighs 2 lbs 5.4 oz or 1062 grams.

Explanation: The 2 magnets on the sides slow the big magnet on the way down.

Eddy Currents aren't visible. I hope you weren't looking for them...

copper bro, copper

@flagman57 are you retarded? eddy currents are the result of the lorentz force. try and PROVE me wrong. not proofed

[flagman57]

@gatorboy1444 you just made yourself look like an idiot. the lorentz force is a force that explains the eddy currents. lol

[lyudkavsk]

put magnets norths facing each other, and then the real magic happens

@wursthunter the eddy currents.

[wursthunter]

@gatorboy1444 so tell me, which force slows the magnet down?

[gatorboy1444]

@wursthunter wrong.

Nice finale lol

[wursthunter]

so you proofed the existens of the LORENTZ' force...
