Re: gEDA-user: Electromagnetic bike

   I was just looking at that (the eddy current brake). Yes, what is
   needed to build a bike with a braking action is a magnetic force
   similar to pushing two magnets of the same pole towards each other. A
   bike where the resistance is not friction but a magnetic field
   resistance.

     Do you mean an eddy current brake?
