It’s even crazier than that. It’s not even the electrons at the “leading edge” it’s the EM field they create even separate the of the wires that actually contain the electrons.
God I hate that video, he explains everything so badly to the point of completely misinforming viewers. He’s talking about a special situation of AC current, but uses DC in the thought experiment. He makes it seem as if the field travels to the load in a direct path and the wires don’t matter. No, the EM field is completely based on the wire.
No, the leading edge of the mechanical transfer of power - I was trying to make a faux comparison that electrons would be the inside of the shaft/cog & the fields the leading edges (that transfer the power & are moving more).
I mangled the comparison, should have given up on it. Vibes are hard to compare with anything non-vibes.
Great youtubing in the links, that’s how you get them views (benefit several creators and spread science)!
(*I just skimmed them for the general vibe, I’m not voicing support in case they are weird ppl, I don’t know them.)
Edit: while speeding through I noticed a very cool simulation (software), yt/mcez0ri9yPY, these are very neat visuals.

And the follow-up with a physical experiment after the first video started a huge drama.
