By theselves magnetic fields are just really good springs.

To get any kind of dampening you either need to add a
dash-pot (=shock-absorber) as a dissipative device or
you need to modulate the magnitic field to emulate
the same result.

I'm told the latter is much harder than it sounds.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
