Actually. . .the amount of dampening you create out of the linear motion magnetic and coil is directly proportioanl to magnet strength.

Its how roller coaster breaks work. they use the rails as conductive surface and place ridiculous near .1 gauss magnets(broken up into sections to create slow deceleration).

The amount of power you create is directly proportional to the amount of power needed to push.

If you don't think the dampening can be had go try and push the shaft on a generator while its hooked up to something(a light bulb). Its entirely possible to do this in a way so that the springs are bypassed and the wheels only move a few cm up or down.

The amount of dampening is again directly proportional to the strength of your magnets and the amount of coil(really the amount of power).
