Eddy current braking systems utilise the generation of induced currents within a conductor, created by changes in magnetic fields, to provide smooth and contactless deceleration in various transport ...

Eddy currents are specialized electric fields that are generated in the presence of a magnetic field and are often seen as a secondary field. An Eddy current can be produced by both electromagnets and ...

Hold your copper pipe in a vertical position. Insert your magnets into the top opening of the pipe and let them go. They should drop slowly through the pipe as if they were going in slow motion. By ...

Bunting Magnetics Co., Newton, Kan., has designed and created a new Eddy Current Separator (ECS) as part of its expanding Material Handling product line. The ECS features what the company calls an ...

A magnet sliding down a copper ramp is slowed by magnetic fields from eddy currents induced in the tube. A magnet sliding down a Plexiglas ramp is unaffected. A magnet sliding down a brass ramp goes ...

One of the most popular types of equipment used in the scrap processing industry today is the eddy current separator. Eddy current systems are often used in processing operations where nonferrous ...

Magnetic sensors detect moving ferrous metal. The simplest magnetic sensor consists of a wire coiled around a permanent magnet. A ferrous object approaching the sensor changes magnetic flux through ...
