Abstract:
A turbine assembly is provided for downhole components of a well system. The turbine assembly includes a translational component which translates when a fluid is passed through the turbine assembly. The turbine assembly also includes a braking system which includes one or more magnets in magnetic communication with a conductive component. The braking system enacts a braking force onto the translational component due to the relative translation of the one or more magnets with the conductive component. The braking force from the braking system is proportional to the rate of translation of the translational component.
