Any conductive material for the tube will have a similar effect. It isn't specific to copper.
The moving magnet induces a current in the tube which in turn creates the magnetic field that interacts with the magnet.

- TheSpiceIsLife 3y agoNot any conductive material, obviously won’t work won’t work, nor magnetic steel / stainless steel alloys.
- TheSpiceIsLife 3y agoI meant: obviously iron won’t work.
- fodkodrasz 3y agoCould you elaborate why iron pipes wouldn't work?
- andrewflnr 3y agoThe magnet would try to stick to the side of the pipe through "normal" magnetism.
- fodkodrasz 3y agoI see, thanks!
