Magnets in a Copper Pipe

Not magic, but magical! Watch what happens when you drop neodymium magnets down a copper pipe.

I wonder what would happen if you put on some shoes with a bunch of neodymium magnets glued on and then jump over a sheet of copper? Haha

I say! This is a classic example of the electromagnetic version of Newton's Third Law and The Conservation of Energy Axiom derived by Heinrich Lenz in 1833: "An induced current is always in such a direction as to oppose the motion or change causing it"

actually, when the astronauts train, they go inside of a room with two huge magnets on top and bottom which makes them float like in space

I want to create a wetsuit made of neodymium magnets. Then I would make a giant copper pipe, and jump down it.
