Previously I used a spectrogram app to measure how fast a fidget spinner can move.

I use the SpectrumView app, but there are loads of spectrogram apps out there.

CORRECTIONS

- There is a five-second audio glitch at 10:30 and a second at 15:31 when some wild reverb appears.

- At 16:02 I got the “tempurature” spelling wrong! First spotted by planetsoccer99.

- Let me know if you spot any other mistakes!
