🌀 Eddy-Current Disc Brake (2D front view, spin-down and heating)

2D front view of an aluminium disc spun by a motor and slowed by an electromagnet: change coil current, air gap, target speed and cooling fan, and watch speed, torques and disc temperature. Same lumped brake model as the 3D page, checked by an independent RK4 integration and an energy balance.
