  • And you apparently don't. That's lenz's law in action. The plate is aluminum, not steel

  • Goddamnit, I hate when people don't get this...

    The plate he used was aluminum, not steel... it is NOT MAGNETIC. This effect is called Eddy Currents and has a lot of industrial application. Please look it up.

  • Very Cool !

  • i think this is used in trains and trams braking system

  • eddy currents occur by introducing a conductive material into a moving magnetic field, or vice versa. the magnet on the end of the pendulum isnt being slowed because it is being magnetically attracted to the aluminum plate, which it is not.

  • Would this have worked if the plate was copper?

  • i dont kno that a pendulum can slow down that much with only eddy current....

  • That's awesome
