Eddy currents are currents induced in conductors to oppose the change in flux that generated them.[citation needed] It is caused when a conductor is exposed to a changing magnetic field due to relative motion of the field source and conductor; or due to variations of the field with time. This can cause a circulating flow of electrons, or a current, within the body of the conductor. These circulating eddies of current create induced magnetic fields that oppose the change of the original magnetic field due to Lenz's law, causing repulsive or drag forces between the conductor and the magnet. The stronger the applied magnetic field, or the greater the electrical conductivity of the conductor, or the faster the field that the conductor is exposed to changes, then the greater the currents that are developed and the greater the opposing field.
The term eddy current comes from analogous currents seen in water when dragging an oar breadthwise: localised areas of turbulence known as eddies give rise to persistent vortices.
Eddy currents, like all electric currents, generate heat as well as electromagnetic forces. The heat can be harnessed for induction heating. The electromagnetic forces can be used for levitation, creating movement, or to give a strong braking effect. Eddy currents can often be minimised with thin plates, by lamination of conductors or other details of conductor shape.

@jynxmars But dude, I've never clicked on any of that stuff...

@SCMusic15 Facebook and Google hence Youtube uses algorithms based on links that you click on first and the most and then profiling you so that they can provide you with what they think is more interesting content to you... It's kind of bad because eventually all we'll be left with is a perception that there's nothing on the net but cleavage and kittens.

What is UP with these suggestions... o.O
how to use a female condome, how to see thru clothing.. xD

@9906197439 It has to be a closed loop. The animation is just retarded.
