About this document
Eddy Current Brake Design Analysis by senthil_5 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes the design process for an eddy current bicycle brake. The initial design produced low voltage due to a calculation error. A second prototype using permanent magnets and an aluminum disc showed eddy currents could generate torque, but scaling the design to a bicycle wheel rim produced insufficient braking power. A final design uses a driven shaft to spin an eddy current brake disc faster than the wheel, greatly increasing braking torque. A proof-of-concept prototype installed on a bic
