Eddy current damping utilises the principles of electromagnetic induction to mitigate unwanted vibrations in a variety of structures and machinery. This passive damping technique involves the ...

With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a wide range of sensing technologies Levitation has long been pursued by stage ...

A strong permanent magnet acts as a simple pendulum, swinging back and forth while hanging from strings. A copper plate underneath the magnet can be moved up to tune the eddy current damping. Swing ...
