Air - vanes on a flywheel are slowed by air resistance

Water - vanes on a flywheel are slowed by water resistance

Magnetic - flywheel on the rowing machine is slowed by force encountered from magnetism

Friction - a wheel on the rowing machine is slowed from contact with a pad

Hydraulic - resistance is provided by forcing oil through an orifice in a hydraulic cylinder

Most 'real' rowing machines use air, some use water, all others are toys or worse (as in the case of hydraulic cylinders)
