Eddy Current Brake


We lifted two aluminum rings up to the top of the plastic tube. We dropped the bottom ring first, then the top ring.
The bottom ring fell faster because it has a slit across its width. When this ring went down the tube, eddy current is prevented from forming. That is why it fell fast. The ring without slit went down slowly.
