“Magnetic dampening will vary with the speed of horizontal motion whereas the added mass approach is simply increasing static inertia considerably.”
"The magnetic dampening only commences its action once the arm starts moving, and is proportional to the rate of movement. I should point out that the dampening is created by eddy currents which are only generated when the arm moves relative to the magnet."
How was no static magnetic effect achieved: did you switch off the magnet?
