It has a very expensive 99% efficient "Alnico cylinder inside a forged iron core" assembly, (almost) fully shielded.
While typical "open path" ceramic rings waste 40% or more "outside" the magnet assembly ... what we check here.
If I were you, I would keep the old workhorse ... for "sentimental reasons" at least

a man with humor.. you're the direct reason for a perfectly good red wine to be spilled

No misunderstanding, I believe they're called Drop Rides
What is unreliable about a pneumatic braking system? Provided cable stretch is monitored, I dare say there is no safer or more reliable braking system. Why complicate the issue, or introduce seeming unnecessary costs with magnets?
As is the P brake.
Yes, I'm well aware of all it's properties, inluding the shielded magnet design. I've been just kidding
Best regards!
I KNOW you were kidding
, you know your horses But I commented anyway because those unexperienced with highest quality Alnico structures might not know what are you talking about
not sure how to implement a cable on a roller coaster
The magnet brakes are really nice. Designed one once for a sled that rode on air along a granite beam. Mag braking was compact, no moving parts, and easily tuned by size/shape of mags and "eddy blade"
Besides dont some woofers use this principle to control over excursion?

Well, I know what I'm doing in the garage tonight, can't misplace a magnetic parts tray if it's screwed to the wall!
Nor would I. We were discussing drop rides. Magnet drive and brake systems are great for horizontal.
And on the side of your fridge. You can hold an entire year worth of bills with just one magnet.
True, but after a couple months you can use them on slot screws are the tip is now magnetized.
You meant "Quit screwing around!"
More useful: everyone who hasn't tried it should pull the Nd magnets from broken hard drives. 3.5" > laptop disks.
I am having some 'guy' time. Michael and I have a history. Albeit short each time, it's always a good one. If he showed up at 3am on my doorstep, with blood on his hands, a suspicious looking knife and no excuse, I would welcome him in and allow him my spare bed. I would get him drunk and wait till he fell asleep before calling the homicide squad. He's that kind of friend to me.
Or get really close, and neglect to get your finger out of the way before that magnet wants to make love with the steel side of your fridge.
Maybe I had a screw loose
or maybe I screwed up
Either way screw you. (am I allowed to say that? I hope a Mod doesn't see that)
Time for a screwdriver, no ice.
