OK, Thanks!
I tried to edit the original post to fix the issue, so hopefully the mods will cut me some slack and I can say more about it here.
The video is someone testing out a psi-wheel. They are trying to control for static electricity by using a control wheel inside a similar jar. The
control jar is affected by a piece of styrofoam rubbed against something to produce a static charge. The target jar has been treated with a dryer
sheet to control for static and this is demonstrated by the fact that the charged bit of styrofoam doesn't affect the wheel inside that jar. The
person then tries to move the wheel inside the target jar, and it does. The control jar wheel stays still.
My opinion is that while you can't trust videos on the internet, if this is an honest attempt done as the blogger says it is, it's pretty interesting.
It seems like a very good control for static to me. If the table were moved, the control jar wheel should have moved too (like it did when the table
was shaken on purpose at the start).
Again, interesting, but I would want to see this done in person to see what's really happening in order to be convinced.
