Introduction
According to his profile, Angle of Elevation (AoE) joined YouTube on 12th August 2013. He has a few dozen videos, though it's not clear which ones he made.
He can be a prolific contributor on Nathan Oakley's comment section and live chats. However, he has spells where he goes AWOL, only to pop up again as if nothing happened. His disappearances could reasonably be explained by him complying with his medication regime, or by forced residence in a mental institution.
One thing that makes him stand out is his insistence that his strange version of physics and geometry is absolutely correct, while the textbooks and scientific literature are all wrong. He will demand proof/evidence while supplying none of his own and accuse people of "making stuff up" while clearly and demonstrably doing this himself.
When cornered, he has the typical Flerf reactions; he'll deflect, change the subject, come up with an insult, or just go quiet. When forced, he may stay on topic for a while and then disappear.
Spelling and grammar too are typical of a Flerf; dreadful.
Note, only he has the correct understanding of any physical phenomeon. He will proudly proclaim this and ignore any authoritative citation you can give.
Examples of Bizarre Ideas
How Lenses Work
AoE is very expert at optics. Telescope lenses 'bend light down', apparently making distant object lower than they are. Theodolites therefore are unreliable instruments.

Sunsets
Reading AoE's explanation for the sun setting below the horizon is particularly painful. Here's a transcipt from his video 'Optical Occultation of the Sun' ([1]).
"Listen up people, as a flat earther myself I've heard many people ask 'how can the Sun set on a flat Earth?' Frankly, the common answer the recieved from flat earthers is rather too simple to allow for complete understanding so please allow me to expand your knowledge so that you can explain it to others. Once you get it you're going to see the beauty of it's simplicity."
Take a moment to savour the sheer arrogance and 'confident wrongness' here.
