The altered slow-motion video I've see make it (at least for me) even
more difficult to visualize due to unwanted artifacts introduced into
the video stream. It's like watching something on acid. The device
looks even more surreal.

My first impression is that the device as shown and demonstrated in
the video does not show OU either. But that's just a first impression
based on my own predilections - that OU is not very likely from pure
magneto mechanical devices. But who knows. I could be wrong.

I think that's a stretch to speculate that Knapen is actually
referring to a different model. I reveal my ignorance here, but who is
Knapen? At first glance he seems knowledgeable.
