That was great but it seems like he was just slowing it down at 1st by sliding it sideways at an angel... (it kinda just look like it was dragging) but then you could see it work much better later, when he compared it to aluminum/brass and then with copper. I found someone that may have experimented before Andy Davies did a year or so before that, check out Les's better experiment that he did with a copper tube! Magnets are amazing things, especially Neodymium types!
