A classical #electromagnetism experiment in this time of the year (i.e. towards the end of my EM course): magnetic breaking acting on a falling magnet (home version).

The left magnet just falls in free fall, the right one gets braked by the induced magnetic field within the aluminum cylinder (mad just sticking together three aluminum foil wraps for kitchen use).

Where is the induced magnetic field coming from? From #Faraday's induction law of course!
