content: Sooo.... what?I'd rather watch crackpot HAARP videos. At east those are entertaining.

content: No, it isn't. How much fucking time do we need to spend watching someone fidget with an LED? Especialkly when we already know where it's going.Someone knows how to use a video editor. Whoopdee fucking doo.

content: Is not video editing. He has other challenges and videos with the solution:

content: Exactly, it's not just entertaining but very clever too.(having said that, I have no clue about this one yet)

content: So he's modifies some parts to use induction.The video is still boring as hell.

content: Quote from: PA0PBZ on October 08, 2012, 08:33:57 pmNote the paper, it has a bending below when he moves the camera, see at 03:32 and again at 03:40. An embedded circuit maybe. For sure the battery and connector are also modified.

content: He modifies the LEDs (fake bottoms, it's visible they're much taller than normal), probably a coil and a photo sensitive something on the side of the leds... switches have infrared emitter and a watch battery inside.Wouldn't be surprised to find out there's a plastic/mylar foil with inductor coils printed on it between two pieces of cardboard.

content: I agree, the secret must be in the paper. The battery cap has some kind of oscillator that powers something that is hidden in the paper. Still very clever made!

content: Haha that's awesome. A bit of a spoiler in the YouTube comments, unfortunately, as he partially confirms someones theory. Ah well. Still fun and still part mystery. I wonder how many of these could be made... without getting to crazy complicated.Oh yes, there is a uC on this LED doing voice recognization.(jk)
