[hackerspaces] "Inductance" - real or fake?

[Mel]

Loved this video when it first popped around (on Twitter I think) a few days
ago. But yes, at the time the balls did seem animated and apparently this is
confirmed by people on the thread John linked to (with all the scepticism
you should exert, this being the Internet and stuff).

That being said, it certainly is great inspiration and I wonder how feasible
it is. Great suggestion from thread mentioned earlier : forward it to the
Mythbusters !
