Even on vacation, I'm testing new 3D printed slinky escalators to get ready for @MakerFaireCZ Brno.
I made something "similar" using 3D printed chain and gears, here on Earth, without absence of external forces ⚙️😂
YouTuber @MouldS hypothesized that a circular loop of chain would exhibit circumferential waves as it rotated in the absence of external forces, flowing through its own shape.
In gravity, this creates the chain fountain effect, popularized with his science videos. Aboard the ISS, I helped test his theory!
These loops were made from beaded chain and our EVA French clips used to tie things down during spacewalks. I wore nitrile gloves to prevent the chain from sticking to my fingers. It took many tries to produce this!
A full video of our findings is now posted to his channel, which I have linked in the comments.

Working on new "stylish" version of Slinky Escalator. Fully 3D printed, including slinky itself. Check my YT for more 3D printed projects (link in my profile).

This is deeply emotional for us.🥹
