What I say, one way or the other will not add up to a hill of beans but the laws of physics and watch making are on my side for what it's worth . I did Chuck's experiment after doing some calculations on human stride etc.. and found that I was correct. I was going to use a micro rotor but I thought it would be better to use something more modern. The Tag Heuer 2894-2 Automatic Chronograph movement. So I hope this youtube thing works .When I moved it the length of a normal stride ( on Earth not in space )it did not wind but when I moved it just a few inches it wound the movement .
