Is this the same mechanism used by balancing beads used in motorcycle wheels?

Yup!
Very interesting stuff. Also, a toroidal void is what I call taking a dump after eating some donuts.
I found it really unintuitive at first because I kept thinking of the CD-ROM spindle as rigid. Once I realized that the whole system wobbled I had an awesome brain-candy moment and it all made sense.
I would have thought Toroidal Void would be a band name, they could open for The Spherical Cows.
fascinating, TIL
