Abstract: The current subject matter describes a device and system including one or more movable arms containing one or more magnets that are caused to move relative to a non-ferrous material by motion of the device to generate eddy currents that cause a braking of the device. Devices of this disclosure may include one or more trolleys that moving along a coaster track and which contain braking arms having magnets that move due to inertial force and/or can be controlled by a remote server computer based on information obtained from the one or more trolleys as they move along the coaster track.

Abstract: The brake system composes a circular wheel, brake shoes, brake disc and cable reel rotation. The rubbing action between brake shoes and brake disc generating from the rotation of Axle rotating with the planetary gear, which is driven by the cable reel, reduces the falling speed. (Falling speed about 1.7 meters per second) The inner cable is designed with a length of 82 meters and max load of 177 kg. The decelerator of this device could stop the falling immediately by using hand brake, in order to achieve rescue and avoid probable injure.

Abstract: A single cable descent control device comprises a pair of rotors with corresponding frames of conductive material mounted on a common central axle on either side of a drive pulley. The pulley is adapted to sit above a single descent cable. An enclosure is suspended from the device. Disposed along at least one surface of each of the rotors or of the corresponding frames or both, is a series of magnets such that rotation of the rotors relative to the frames induces eddy currents that oppose the magnetic field and create a rotational braking force providing precise and controllable descent of the enclosure with little or no mechanical wear or risk of overheating. In this configuration, constraints on the size of the enclosure are dispensed with, as are corresponding limitations on the positioning and angle of descent of the cable. Further, significant labor and material savings in manufacturing the enclosure may be obtained from the resulting simplicity of design. The device may be used in numerous other applications, including without limitation, permitting controlled descent of gondolas or chairs from ski lift operations when normal lift operation is temporarily precluded.

Abstract: Herein is disclosed a centrifugally-operated apparatus that comprises at least a shaft with an axis of rotation and a pawl that is coaxially mounted on the shaft with at least a portion of the pawl being movable radially inwardly and outwardly from the shaft. The axis of rotation of the shaft passes through the pawl, at a location that is radially offset from the center of mass of the pawl. Rotation of the shaft and pawl above a predetermined speed can cause at least the movable portion of the pawl to be moved radially outward from the shaft, in which position an engaging end of the movable portion of the pawl may engage with a component such as a ratchet.
