You are increasing the moment of inertia Ian. Another definitive video that any Physics teacher could use to demonstrate the moment of inertia. Well done again!!!
The funny thing is, I sometimes try to change my language, because certain words trigger DraftScience. If I said, "moment of inertia," he'll probably think it has something to do with a moment in time or something (at some points he actually did say that). So now I refer to it was "rotational inertia" so that it is as clear as possible to him. He still doesn't get it obviously, but at least he has no excuse now.
Sometimes when he squints he reminds me of Joe Biden. Funny how it's possible to talk about levers for hundreds of hours and never mention anything about F x distance. I think your example with spoons was the most educational but he didn't get it. You can't calculate different momentums and energies in the same object.
