This proves what YT needs is more adversarial collaborations. Great work! I was convinced by your last video but now I’m even more convinced.
-
19:26 makes me believe you are absolutely right! 😄 ok let me go do my own electrical analysis and see what I come with... great explanations as usual
-
I mean these videos are literally a good lesson in why peer review is an important part of turning experimentation into knowledge
-
This is a great demonstration of why disagreements are good. Sure, one side is wrong, but it drives the other side to go into far greater detail about things and in the end you're left with a much better understanding of the problem. It's beneficial for everyone.
-
It's clear to me that chains are actually just sleeping snakes, and when they start falling they panic and arch up
-
after watching this series, I have serious doubts in my critical thinking skills. I can be convinced of anything with a good enough orator.
-
Former industrial rope guy here. Watching this series reminds me of observations made at a film set that involved passing thick rubber coated power cables down a cliff. Care had to be exercised once a certain amount of cable was payed out as it would quickly become, and I’m being extremely tame in my description: “self lowering”.
-
To measure weight, you don't need a scale. You just need a spring holding the chain container. Then measure the displacement of the spring. That gives you a visual readout that works well with filming.
-
The real Mould effect was the adversarial collaborations we made along the way.
-
Mehdi is right about one thing: Steve's blue eyes and soothing voice are mesmerizing.
-
This is such an epic nerd feud. I hope it never ends.
-
1:30 in slow motion I believe you can actually see this happening when it hits the longer chain link and you can visually see the chain react more aggressively because of the sudden change in overall stiffness
-
This all was the purest definition of “I respectfully disagree, …” Except, in Mehdi’s case it’s “I respectfully disagree, despite your mesmerizing blue eyes and soothing voice…”
-
Perhaps the gemiest of gems on Youtube. Steve vs Mehdi. Great followup Steve.
-
Amazing set of videos here!! Really loved it !! Hope this kind of healthy competitiveness keeps on going. Thanks so much for the hard work👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
-
This kind of reactionary videos; polite and honest are awesome. There should be more poeple like you both in the world!
-
I love how Steve is becoming an expert and spending hundreds of hours studying pouring a chain out of a beaker.
-
You could easily align the footage with a USB force gauge by tapping the top of the breaker the chain is in before doing the fountain. Just align the spike in the graph record with the tap on camera. Same theory as clapping to align the audio with the video when recording from a standalone audio source.

I first experienced this when I was very very young taking out Christmas decorations. We kept a long thread of red, wooden cranberries to wrap around the tree and one year I was unpacking it and WHOOSH the chain came raveling out of the bag making an arc. I must've been 6 or 7 so 2002/03. Very cool to see people talking about it. I assumed it was already studied!
