That needs some Yakaty Sax!

So petty, all the time:

Shouldn’t his channel be named “B is for Batshit” instead?

What makes you think there is no heat? The eddy currents are wasting away energy by creating electrical currents and that heats up the metal. Lots of train and subway brakes work this way. You are converting kinetic energy to heat via electrical currents instead of friction. It is still heat.

And you are too kewl too mention the model name? ‘Cause all the kewl kids just know?

Great.. now I have a funny feeling.

You know what was bound to happen eventually, right? He didn’t get in fast enough, it got away from him, and it rolled down the…
