Visible wiring is a distraction, the real wiring is under the table. Battery was replaced with a coil in an electromagnetic that is charged when the switch is flipped: ie. It's a motor in disguise
Forget learning, you're stuck diagnosing and rewriting! "What the... why is this part acting weird?!" You fix it and it appears it's smooth sailing from there. But then something else..."Now I have RGB on the wires??? I didn't even know they had RGB!"
honestly one of my favourite things about programming, there's beauty in things going weirdly wrong. I miss doing physics simulations just for how intense the weird stuff could be!
That was the day I realized how huge a nerd I was. Read that "joke" the first time and fucking died laughing as my buddy was like, "I don't get it." I was a few minutes into explaining how programming code works when I saw his brain go into mem dump and his eyes had glazed over.
At one point I suspected a homopolar motor, but that AFAIK has no way to make the battery spin, just the copper wire. Pretty sure there is a hidden motor under the table with a small rubber wheel pressing against the battery giving it the spin.
My first thought also. Some variation of such. Stumped on the battery itself is rotating and that has more inertia to overcome than a copper wire. Thanks for the proper term - I wouldn't have known.
So I would lean on some joke whereas the battery is a disguise of a Pabst motor (where the rotor is outside as in ceiling fans). It would be a very small DC motor (I've never encountered it).
On the other hand they are dead. We should update our constitution with modern ideas to protect human rights better and make the system work better. There's stuff in there that was groundbreaking at the time but it's very out of date now. We need to stop letting dead people hold us back.
Yeah... there's ideas in there that you can rightly argue were ahead of their time... but that time was nearly 250 years ago, plenty of room to be both "significantly ahead of its time" *and* "significantly behind modern times". Setting aside the expansion of voting rights (which are obviously important, but don't necessarily affect how the government fundamentally functions) and the failed experiment of prohibition, the most impactful amendments since 1900 are probably the 17th, which >>

I'm not so sure. The battery in the post here seems to move at about the same speed without needing to ramp up in speed nearly as much as Homopolar motors do, and those are moving the much lighter wire instead of the battery itself. I'd wager they have the battery between some bearings and being spun by a motor below. This is supported by how the battery's sudden rotation doesn't cause it to move on the board.
Here is another option then. Fan is hollow and holds a battery inside, the battery is just a shell with a motor inside mounted on a pole to the casing.
I was aware of these homopolar motors, but notice a slight detail: this one is horizontal. Doesn't matter for electronics but it matters for the weight of the wire/motor. Indeed, the acceleration is a second clue. Motor inside would need some engineering (would need an on-axis motor as well), so easiest would be to engineer the table and spin in from underneed. Soo, easiest would be just CGI. And since there is no other movement in the video at that location, most plausible
You can see the black wire vibrates only when the battery is spinning. No matter what it's always going to be difficult to rule out CGI, but barring that I think the battery compartment is secured to the surface and there's something under it rotating the battery. Supposing the battery compartment terminals were replaced with bearings of some sort then it could easily be spun at that speed with another motor below.
I forget which 90s FPS game it was but I managed to land a helicopter on it's blades and rather than exploding, the body of the helicopter started spinning at like 1000 rpm
I’ve done that before but in real life or at least that is how I remember it. It did damage the helicopter and I did get a little burnt from a fire that broke out but I don’t feel anymore pain and now everyone who knows me and knows I like being alone, a recluse who doesn’t like small talk, have been giving me a bunch of space and they act like I’m not there at all when I’m around. It’s fantastic. Like my own little slice of heaven.

Google "homopolar motor" (heh), though I can't see a magnet in that battery case, but might be some similar hack.
SidneyStratton
My first thought also. Some variation of such. Stumped on the battery itself is rotating and that has more inertia to overcome than a copper wire. Thanks for the proper term - I wouldn't have known.

So I would lean on some joke whereas the battery is a disguise of a Pabst motor (where the rotor is outside as in ceiling fans). It would be a very small DC motor (I've never encountered it).

Its really easy to do. No CGI needed. It is called Homopolar motor and it work like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p29gy0OBaY8
