The tip of the tailbone only moves about 1 Cun and the curve in the lumbar spine (yaobei) only moves about <1 Cun. Point being that it's difficult to see the movements of the tailbone, sometimes you can see the movement of the Lumbar spine, but what can be observed every time is the 'Crisp, Clear' (脆 Cui) transfer of the power up through the flesh of the torso, arms, and going down into the legs.
Here you can see it in ChenYu's solo 'Fa Li' (Issuing of power), and @ 00:57 you can really get a good glimpse of it-

I believe that most of this set is Dantian and not really bow theory, The bows are set up and there, So two powers.
Most of the power set he uses here, I can do. Not as good.
One way is the bow, A single event.
The other a cam, Capable of Multiple events. As I had put in the video.
The question is the meaning of the word MaoDun.

Doing all those things in a quick movement quickly empties the Dantian. But gradually you learn to channel the emptying so it surges upward and out to the hand, then channeled back down. Emptying and Filling but nothing is lost.
good info. Thanks

Here's a video of Jinbao and watch his lumbar spine changing shape at the end of every strike. He's using 'Zhedie' and 'Zhuanhuan' in every movement, (except in the Snake system which specifically ad intentionally doesn't use Zhedie, it's capable of doing it but creates a different sort of power when it's contained/ held back.)

I've noticed that in many chen style taiji, knees moving out-of-line w.r.t. toes is quite common. Won't this lead to loss of stability if not power?
At the same time you don't see this in videos of li chugong and chen yu.
