DAMPER KIT FOR FREE TORSIONAL VIBRATIONS

A simple eddy current damper for use with the Free Torsional Vibrations experiment.

Students may fit an optional Damper Kit to test how viscous damping affects the rotor oscillations. This kit includes a bracket that holds a powerful magnet above the rotor of the Free Torsional Vibrations experiment. The magnet induces eddy currents in the oscillating rotor, opposing and damping its motion.

The damping effect is proportional to velocity and becomes zero when the rotor stops oscillating. This makes it a form of viscous damping.
