I'm not saying you guys are wrong about the dampening effect, but I don't think you are right either. lol Please explain to me how a magnet inside of a coil of wire produces any sort of dampening.
A magnet inside of a coil of wire creates no dampening or resistance when it moves in the coil (like a shaker flashlight). I mocked one up quick today, a couple of neo magnets inside of a coil of wire. Shook it, and it made about 80mV.
As far as I can tell you guys are comparing this to a motor, or linear motor where you are putting electricity though the coil which will create dampening when you slide a magnet through the coil, because you are really just making an electro magnet. But that isn't what would be happening here.
