Eddy Current Tubes -- Drop the Magnets down the tube. An eddy current is set up in a conductor in response to a changing magnetic field. Lenz's law predicts that the current moves in such a way as to create a magnetic field opposing the change; to do this in a conductor, electrons swirl in a plane perpendicular to the changing magnetic field.
Because the magnetic fields of the eddy currents oppose the magnetic field of the falling magnet; there is attraction between the two fields. Energy is converted into heat. This principle is used in damping the oscillation of the lever arm of mechanical balances.

Electrons carving new paths creates heat. Test by putting an electromagnet in a conductive tube... heat will be generated in the tube as the electromagnet is turned on without movement of the electromagnet.
The resistance is the same thing you see holding up superconductors over magnets only in superconductors the difference in flow resistance is greater then the pull of gravity.
I'm not sure if I'm the first to say this, but if so it's my theory.
the magnet flows from the magnet goes threw the tube as it offers less resistance. This causes electrons to spin around the tube. as the electrons spin around the tube they carve out channels that alters the magnetic field creating a path of less resistance. The electron spinning around the tube also make a magnetic field that adds force to the magnets flow almost as great as the pull of gravity. there is sort of a magnetic Jacobs ladder effect of new flow paths being carved.
meant "the magnetic flows" not "the magnet flows". By "this causes" This is the magnetic field flowing threw the conductor and transferring spin energy to the electrons..

I condensed too much but it's a 500 char max.
