If you liked this definitely checkout some of his other videos. At the level of work that he does you have to have a really solid model of reality and a lot of learned experience of how to measure and manipulate at extreme scales. He makes it look easy but this kind of thing really isn't. Just a lot of fun seeing such a talented and educated person do a really neat demonstration.
Notably, he's also the inventor of the magneto-turboencabulator.
Nice, I remember encountering a sales pitch for an earlier version of this sort of device:
The description that boiled down to, it squeaks, was really well written.
Also it was released on the perfect date.

Here's a 30 minute video of me waffling about 4 seconds of what you actually wanted to see
I mean, he does show the final product pretty early on. Plus as others said, the video (and most of the channel) is about how and why it works, which to me is much more interesting than the 4 second clip.
So you don't want to watch anything about how it's done or how it was built?
I suggest TikTok then. Or just don't click on things you don't really want to learn about.
You know there's a seek bar on youtube videos?
Odd take.
I for one love AlphaPhoenix and I prefer longer form videos. I don’t want the look what I did, but I want the this is how I did it.
Piss off to TikTok if you just want to be mindlessly fed short form trash.
I just watched this a few hours ago and it's really cool! I never thought something of this speed would be possible in a garage with $1k or so in parts.
I remember this being a thing several years ago. The researchers in the video I originally saw used a Coke bottle.
Yes he talks about that in the video. The researchers used $500k+ of equipment. He built a similar thing for under $1k
