The Zagreb School of Animation was a wild, totally unique movement. And its rare/obscure films keep getting restored and uploaded for free. We've put together a new look at what made this group special, and a guide to the work now available:

The direction of the magnetic force depends on the direction of the magnetic field of the ball and the magnetic field induced in the block. The magnetic field of the ball doesn't change direction, but the direction of the field in the block depends on the direction of the induced current, and the direction of the induced current depends on the direction of motion of the ball, which does change. So you wind up with a force that always opposes motion, similar to friction. (It is a non-conservativ…
