I've seen this before, and it's a paragon of how to explain and demonstrate mechanical concepts.
This person needs to be hired by someone full time to produce this kind of page for all the things.
Thanks for reminding me it exists.

Sadly, 99% of today's population doesn't have even 1% of the attention span required to view, much less interact with and understand, this kind of presentation.
