    The disc moves, but there aren't any moving mechanical parts to cause it to move. It's done with electromagnetic pulses. I'll update it to make this more clear.

    I work at GitHub and I’m working on our documentation. I’m looking to learn more about how we can make them better for developers. If you’ve used GitHub and are familiar with the docs, I’d love to chat.
