These "jiggling things" are very interesting. On that video Feynman claims
that when you tie some paper together with a rubber band particles inside
keep "jiggling" as long as you keep it like that (except that rubber does
not last forever). It seems to me that it is a very good way to store
energy for a longer period of time.
