  1. You sir, are so captivating, and yet you could snap your finger and I would fall asleep. Your voice is perfect.

  2. it is not easy for over 70% of the viewers and commenters to see the lower side of the ruler is having a small bit of pressure put onto it, pushing the mechanism forward, visually he is also moving the ruler whilst carrying the pushing process, out.

  3. Like you, with nothing to do but sit home and post misspelled, overly negative comments on YouTube?

  4. Everything here is real folks. It’s just a result of some nice physics. For those confused, notice how the big wheel is touching the smaller wheels. It’s not actually touching the outside rim of the small wheels is it? It’s touching the “insides” of the wheels if you get my drift.

  5. Look at his other video, “Under the Ruler 3: Tilting the Ruler.” He shows in the video that tilting the ruler does not determine which way the cart will move.

  6. This is baloney. He’s pushing down on the wheel with the ruler at an angle causing the wheel to move away from the pressure. The direction he moves the ruler is irrelevant. If he were to keep the ruler level and gently move it along the wheel, then the result would be the same as using your finger.

  7. Seriously, what the fuck did I just watch? Monty Python playing with beanie babies and explaining science. What?

  8. I dont have anything to emphasize, all I want to say is that this song is a melody to my ears

  9. I have to say I agree with you. I used to love Al Green as a kid and every live performance he did the same thing; kept changing the pitch, cadence, everything.. people pay to see you sing like the record. I mean a little improvisation is cool but don’t change everything up

  10. Very deep song.. almost biblical like from Ecclesiastes.. so poetic and yet so true.

  11. Am I the only one who thinks he was awful? I mean, I love this song, but it was almost like he was singing poorly on purpose. It seems like he was trying to make it interesting by altering the timing and singing differently (like in a lot of live performances), but I think it just came out horribly. He was always like a half-second off and it sounded like he was uncomfortable at the pitches he picked. I’m not hating, I just wasn’t impressed.

  12. My mum always tells to dust off everything…
    There are two basic pieces of wisdom – “All we are is dust in the wind” and “Life is like a box of chocolates”. :)

Under the ruler faster than the ruler

Another model demonstrating the principle of the cart that moves down wind faster than the wind. Inspired by some ideas posted on the discussion at forums.randi.org, I made a simple cart that is propelled underneath a moving surface, faster than that surface. The large wheel, turning against the direction of movement of the ruler, is very similar to the propeller of the wind-powered cart, turning against the wind. The next episode is here: www.youtube.com PS. Several people have asked where Louise comes from. She was made in Sri Lanka for Barefoot: www.barefootusa.com If you want to read more about downwind faster than the wind: peswiki.com dwfttw.blogspot.com en.wikipedia.org

Here’s a vid of Dust in the wind! Seems like its their reunion concert! Enjoy!! Lyrics: I close my eyes only for a moment and the moment’s gone all my dreams pass before my eyes a curiosity dust in the wind all we are is dust in the wind Same old song just a drop of water in the endless sea all we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see dust in the wind all we are is dust in the wind Now, don’t hang on nothing last forever but the earth and sky it slips away And all your money won’t another minute buy Dust in the wind all we are is dust in the wind dust in the wind everything is dust in the wind
