5K20.12 Eddy Current Disks Down Incline
Eddy Current Disks Down Incline
5K20.24 Large Copper Penny
5K20.25 Copper Ramp and Magnet
5K20.25 Magnet and Copper TubeA magnet is dropped through a copper tube producing eddy currents that slow the magnet's motion as it passes through the tube
5K20.30 Ring FlingerIn this exciting a current is passed through a coil of wire connected to a metal core. The resulting magnetic field will fling a metal ring upwards in the direction of the field.
5K20.34 Eddy current - Floating Coila Plate is charged causing current loops in the loop therefore a repulsion force between them occurs causing the loop to float.
5K20.40 Eddy Current Pendulum
5K20.40 Eddy Current in Rotating Disc
5K20.65 Can CrusherCharge large capacitors, and release the energy through a coil around a soda can. The soda can will be crushed by the opposing magnetic force induced by the coil.
