In the demo there is a cut in the video where the needle abrubtly stops. The cut is visible because the lighting is slightly different.

Re-watched on computer monitor this time. The cut is between 00:00:19 and 00:00:20 of the demo.

That's a really good catch. Didn't notice it my first time watching it. I suppose that either way it beats the old method but that's very weird to do that to the test.

That cut is so obvious they're not even trying.

  • maybe it isn't nefarious

    • Well, based on the speed of the needle and what I know of damped motion because of the generation of eddy currents that did not at all look like the same thing.

      It's been the source of a lot of headaches for me (specifically: windmill cogging), there is no way that that needle stopped in the way it did in the video.
