@dec23k Ker-ching!
Yeah, Skoda have been leaning into the cycling buzz a fair bit over the years, so this could be more marketing, all right.
I mean, I think it is interesting as an exploration of the physics, etc., but not so sure about the bike bell application - maybe emergency warnings in public places, or something?
I must take a look at Fry's video, though, love her. She's such a nerd, and such a great communicator for normies like me.

@clickhere @dec23k I'm certainly not the right market for their bell -- I have a couple of very loud, sustained, but discreet bells that I bought for their minimal handlebar real estate and delightful sound. That thing looks like you could use it as a life preserver if you fell in a canal! I will give them points for trying to build a bridge between motorists and cyclists, though, because we sorely need bridges.
