From DIY levitation tricks to clever braking systems, these swirling paths of electrons keep finding new ways to surprise and inspire.

The ocean current brings the water with different concentrations of PCBs from a remote area and therefore changes the local concentration of PCBs; the eddy diffusion acts to reduce the spatial ...

Unlike mechanical brakes, which are based on friction and kinetic energy, eddy current brakes rely on electromagnetism to stop objects from moving. Eddy currents are created when a conductor passes ...

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 ...

Eddy current testing is a well-established method of nondestructive testing that is used to examine nonferrous/nonmagnetic materials such as condenser and heat exchanger tubes in power generation ...

Lenz’s Law is one of those physics tricks that look like magic if you don’t understand what’s happening. [Seth Robinson] was inspired by the way eddy currents cause a cylindrical neodymium magnet to ...
