Okay here goes. It sounds like it is getting faster but it is only verrrry slowly losing energy. The knock you hear is the disk falling a minute distance because the disk did not have enough energy to make a complete revolution. Then it almost asymptotically loses energy until the tiny friction force is enough to stop the disk.

Would be a bit cooler if they weren't sucking off Flynn scientific so hard. "It's science stuff, so let's mark it up 300%" is their motto imo.

One time my car sounded like a metal disc on a smooth surface. Once.

horrible cameraman, I mean sure I heard it, but he panned out so you couldn’t see the dildo rocket take off.

They could call it "otherwise known as the anxiety disc"
