Video is long and in Dutch, but you'll get the idea. When the last giant domino falls, it theatrically raises a Matrix-y cloud of dust.

    Hmmmm. They say an optimal ratio of 1:1.5 or maybe 1:1.67, but that whets my curiosity. The Golden Ratio is 1:1.618 and may prove to optimize even better. This may be an excellent justification for the existence of the Golden Ratio in nature.

    There is room for some real research here in to power transfer.
