Cheers for showing your work. But again, in the video, whatever it's faults, you do see a car hit a barrier and not go crunch, yeah? > why didn't they just do

> why didn't they just do it in a controlled environment?
Well, there is more than one video. The one we're talking about is obviously a public demonstration and not a scientific test. (There was one video that seems to have been removed now that showed a very good and clear demo of the ramp/glass being done at some trade show or convention. that video or others might still be on YT somewhere.)
What about that ramp/glass demo? A glass shatters when the little car thingy hits it, and then another glass doesn't shatter when the flywheel device is active.
And really, I haven't dug into this particular tech too deeply, it could well be a hoax.
But my point still stands, there are lots of interesting and useful ideas that work and get ignored or neglected. Magnus effect rotors, the Tesla turbine, desalinizing batteries, "Aircrete", etc...
I could literally go on all day, just listing the less "woo-woo" stuff off of Rex Research.
