Damn, I saw a couple news articles and several websites describing this gizmo, when it opened, and not one of them had pictures any way near this good. Everyone was getting too close, showing details instead of pictures like these that show clearly how it works.
Good work HM, UT.

The way it is balanced, is so simple, it blew me away. Brilliant!

I just happened to go to flickr at just the right time, and it showed up in "Everyone's Photos". I vaguely remember seeing a bit of the original news coverage, but nothing as interesting as this guy's stuff.
