Claim 0:
1. A sprinkler having a nozzle and a distributor, wherein said distributor is configured to distribute fluid sprayed from said nozzle and to rotate from fluid impinging on said distributor, wherein said sprinkler comprises an eddy current dampener configured to slow the speed of rotation of said distributor, wherein said eddy current dampener comprises at least one magnet and an electrically conductive material, wherein one of said at least one magnet or said electrically conductive material is connected to said distributor so as to rotate when said distributor rotates, wherein said eddy current dampener is configured such that rotation of one of said magnet and said electrically conductive material induces an eddy current between said magnet and said electrically conductive material when said distributor rotates thus dampening the rotation of the distributor.
