I've met the inventor - Sheldon Lavineway - who did custom trem work for me years ago.
I've seen & tried this design and it's a fantastic one. Sheldon's been prototyping & refining for years.
It performs as advertised.

Yeah I don't think you've understood how the zero-position system works, and I don't blame you because the animation is missing the springs which would make the functionality much more obvious.
The zero-position function works the same way the Ibanez Zero-Point (Backstop) system does. So, although you can pull up & down, there is a strong neutral point (zero-position) so the bar is not fully free-floating like a Floyd or Kahler.
