It has motion. The cylinder rotates. All boils down to how long that mechanical part will last prior to needing to be replaced.


Imagine if it had no motion!

It would appear to fly off at supersonic speeds as it ignored -earth's rotation -earth's movement around sun -solar system's movement around the galaxy -galaxy's drift through the universe

(Sorry "no motion" is like a claim out of a Dilbert cartoon)


We are obviously operating with the planet as our reference frame.
