The first 45 seconds is gut-bustingly laughable, over the top, self-aggrandizing hyperbole – but it is certainly a cool looking invention.<\/p>\n
The engineer in me wonders how they guarantee the exact RPM’s on this given the variable drag of the needle or movement of air currents (likely very solvable but I wonder about the latency). It also seems to me that bumping the table would produce the commiserate disturbance in the magnetic field which wouldn’t protect against bigger bumps – just tiny ones. Guess we’ll find out when it arrives, but I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for the\u00a0JA Michell Transcriptor Hydraulic Reference Turntable seen in Clockwork Orange<\/a> and 2001. I’m pretty sure this will find its way into a sci-fi movie as well at some point.<\/p>\n
