Sure. Do I just add it as an attachment using the "my attachment" button below or can I cut and paste the image directly into this space?I'm new to this forum, this is my first question.Can we see the coil?
And magnet.

Okay, will do. Couple of hours............Use upload a file.
Keep in mind that a free-falling object will hit 10 m/sec after falling 5 meters, re d=1/2(a)t^2) and v=atSo, you are letting the magnet free-fall for 1 sec. (30 feet) before it enters coil?
Use upload a file.
I'll do that. My concern was that I was missing out on some element of induction theory that would cause a significant reduction in current. It's a little unnerving to have all this instrumentation and not see anything.I suspect the amp meter is too slow. Why just throw on a resistive load, use the scope to capture the voltage and calculate the current.
I agree with this approach, if you have the 'scope. A data acquisition setup that could capture the pulse would be another option. My "peak detector" suggestion above is the poor man's solution. You'll lose all information about the shape of the pulse and get only the integrated result.A load resistor and the 'scope is the way to go.
