Abstract
In this report, a new magnetic damper based on Lent's law is introduced. This magnetic damper is different from a magnetic damper based on Lorentz force. It utilizes magnetic attractive force or repulsive force caused by eddy-currents induced on the conducting plate. First, the principle of the new magnetic damper is described, and then the experimental setup to demonstrate the principle is fabricated and tested. The experimental setup, next, is modeled in detail and magnetic damping forces are calculated. As the result, the analytical results agree well with the experimental results.
