I How do I calculate brake force for an eddy current brake?

Click For Summary
To calculate brake force for an eddy current brake, determining the frequency and characteristic length is crucial, specifically the skin depth and magnetic Reynolds number. The discussion includes shared equations and a model scheme to aid in the calculations. Participants are encouraged to refer to the linked thread for additional insights and references. Understanding these parameters is essential for accurate brake force calculations. The conversation focuses on the technical aspects of modeling eddy current brakes effectively.

I try to calculate brake force for primitive eddy current brake, but I have problem with determining the frequency (skin depth) and characteristic length (magnetic Reynolds number)
Hello everyone, I try to calculate brake force for primitive eddy current brake, but I have problem with determining the frequency (skin depth) and characteristic length (magnetic Reynolds number). I attach the equations and a scheme of the model.

Thread 'Please Explain Elementary Physics Elevator Question'

Hello, I'm joining this forum to ask two questions which have nagged me for some time. I am in no way trolling. They both are presumed obvious, yet don't make sense to me. Nobody will explain their positions, which is...uh...aka science. I also have a thread for the other question. Yes, I'm questioning the most elementary physics question we're given in this world. The classic elevator in motion question: A person is standing on a scale in an elevator that is in constant motion...
