Used in these demonstrations

Two copper tubes on a green surface — one with viewing holes drilled along its length — alongside a penny and a small gold-colored neodymium disk magnet

Safety

Eddy Currents: Copper Tube

A neodymium magnet falls slowly through a copper tube (~10 seconds for 61 cm) while pennies drop in under a second, dramatically demonstrating Lenz's law and eddy current braking.
