No magnets on my headwind unit. It is a squirrel cage fan. The housing has an ajustable door to let air in to the fan. The more the door opens, the more air gets to the fan, which increases resistance. They also claim that the resistance increases at an increasing rate, similar to the real world. I don't doubt it.
