OT: Small diameter magnetic roller between wheels to provide frictionless braking resistance?

Have you looked at what they use on "Mag-trainers" for bicycles. They use a magnet system and dial settings to increase resistance. I have one and it will take quite a bit of heat. They are made to spin pretty fast too. If you aren't familiar with what I'm talking about see this page for several different flavors:

Probably a bit big, but maybe a starting point. You might be able to pick up a used unit cheap to dissect...

I would probably be going closer to 5 mph over uneven sidewalks and some debris. While coasting, air resistance makes a big difference depending on speed.

I needed that formula, at least it will give me an idea of the hardware requirement, thanks.

John Doe is a professional User Group killer. His real name and address was discovered by cross referencing his E-mail address of several years ago ( snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com) with an online ad he placed to sell a used computer.

An investigation paid for by me revealed Mark Bender to have been arrested twice for domestic violence and to have had a major lawsuit against him which causes him to live in an impoverished, crack ridden neighborhood in San Antonion, TX.He is known by his neighbors as El Gatero Loco, the crazy cat man (and not meant affectionately).

Below my name is the Investigative report on this malacious loser Mark Bender.

SUMMARY OF INVESTIGATION

Our office found Mr. Mark Bender's current address is 509 Frost, SATX

78201, to be owned by Ms. Gloria Trevino. There are many rental homes in this area. Mr. Bender has never owned property. He does not own a vehicle. He doesn't have a TX Driver's license. He does have a TX State ID. He has been arrested twice for Assault/Family/Domestic Violence. Both charges were dismissed. There is a possibility that the "Mark Bender" named in the Bexar County Civil case for damages could be the same Mark Orrin Bender with in this report. The court documents would to be ordered at any additional cost to the client.

John Doe has not done anything annoying is this thread! Can you behave as well as him or must you prove you can behave worse?

Yes, it works. And the energy is still dissipated as heat.

If anybody knows a retail source for a solution mentioned in this thread, I'd appreciate a link. A link to a specific device (somewhere between 100 and 200 W I guess) for sale would be even better of course. If not, it's no big deal, just asking.
