Abstract
A Lenz' Law demonstration device. The invention is a child's educational toy that demonstrates magnetics, Lenz' Law (which creates a current within the tube by creating a magnetic field that opposes the field of the falling magnetic—making the magnet fall more slowly as opposed to a nonmagnetic drop that would fall at the speed of gravity). A magnet is dropped into a larger diameter copper (or other ferromagnetic material) tube. The magnetic resistance then causes the magnet to drop at a slower speed in the tube therefore creating the appearance of anti-gravity and generating an electrical charge through the resistance.
