Magnetic brake
The drop tube through which the sphere falls down without touching the walls could also be classified as an electromagnetic brake. The smaller the tube diameter, the slower the magnet descents. Using a variety of magnetic sphere sizes and tube diameters is great for didactical demonstrations.Similar projects
