This may be the coolest guitar tech I’ve ever seen. First post hope I did it right. Like holy damn, magnets, this looks like future tech.

Interesting experiment. But same idea as a tremolo bridge, but instead of springs in tension, he uses a magnet. An improvement could be the same - instead od directly pulling, he could try the hinge/lever setup like in a tremolo. Could also use mechanical advantage to make use of smaller magnets. An additional benefit is improved safety. But you would just reinvent the tremolo, only make it more expensive. Already, this sounds more or less like a floating style tremolo, but with additional floating. And increased price. And safety concerns.
I knew who it would be before opening the video. His whole thing is about making strange - and very often, unsafe - musical instruments. One of his early videos was replacing piano hammers with actual hammers.
His spinning guitar is actually super cool though!
