Eddy-Current Brake
AssemblyThe contactless descent brake: permanent magnets sweep past a conductive rotor, inducing eddy currents whose drag rises with speed and caps the descent rate with nothing touching. A full specification article for this item is being written. Meanwhile its bill of materials and connections are below.
