I believe that it can help to explain and understand some the effect in Tai Chi, by understanding this mass - momentum transfer. I remember back in the earlier Tai Chi days when we studied how to return force, and discovering that using the body as a whole (and more or less not use the arms other than support) while redirecting an opponents force had the best effect. So what you want to do is to add your whole mass and its momentum to your opponent's own movement/force/momentum. If you use your arms only in an isolated manner, then you only add the movement from the arms, and not your whole mass. But it's when you'll get your whole mass behind your own counter movement, while timing and following your opponent's movement precisely, this is when you can achieve this massive, seemingly effortless strength, to bounce someone away.
Hunyuan strength is stored within movement. This stored strength results in torque or martial velocity in each movement. That's why it's called oneness or whole body strength because the entire frame supplies torque to the limbs within each gesture.
Is it?

Looks simple enough to me. In fact I can teach literally anyone to do it in about five minutes.If you can, can you explain it or comment on

His demo partner is wildly overreacting to meaningless movements.

I can’t really understand the difference between this and what I wrote. Though I can’t really see why torque is necessary to emphasize. I didn’t really see any torque in that video. Velocity as mentioned would be enough. I wrote: “get your whole mass behind your own counter movement” This implies moving the body as a whole.
I am not good at using scientific terminology.
