HCP packing. Same somewhat scarce physics as in the previous video, youtu.be/KIyzxDwSFeg. This is most easily spotted in the first few runs with less than 10 balls, where the separation of friction coefficients looks a bit weird due to the assumption of no rotation of the balls.

The absolutely beautiful music is made by @gpcbass , Visa Från Ingenstans, first composed 1981. Full version here: youtube.com/watch?v=cgmzudeyGGw, used previously
