Not sure for which batteries this works. After seeing that YouTube video some time ago, I tried to reproduce it at home with some AAA batteries. Didn't work.

It worked with normal AAAs for me. It's just quite nuanced. When dropping from the right height the empty ones on my wooden table tend to fall over, the full ones stay more still and upright with minimal bounce.
