Very well done. I couldn't believe how stationary it remained... until it retracted of course!
Thank you again for sharing.

Very Nice !
The speed at which the contraction takes place is remarkable.

Thanks tgss and JMK

The speed at which the contraction takes place is remarkable.

Astonishingly fast. Found a link on that very question.

Thanks for the link - the mechanical/physiologic perspective and the ability to quantify the phenomena makes it even more fascinating
