Not sure what he means about an upward force from the container, particularly because the fountain effect still appears when there isn’t one.
It also works with rope, I think, so to my mind the main factors are going to be the stiffness of the chain, its density and maybe the minimum bend radius. Come to think of it, the ball chain doesn’t really have any stiffness beyond what results from simple inertia.
I’m going to watch more Mould videos; he doesn’t get on my wick the way Tom Scott does.
Ed: does it actually happen with rope or was I not paying close enough attention?
(, Wed 1 Sep 2021, 21:52, Reply)
there's a lot more to it and he does talk about the stiffness of the chain, bend radius etc and has some links to people who show the effect with rope.
This is a saga and I'm really pleased to see a process of argument between two science communicators who use experiments and hypothesis to try to prove their hypotheses and disprove the other.
If people are watching this they are understanding how humanity is advancing and not watching flat earth / anti-vax shite.

I’d love to see the experiment done with a very flexible bike chain, which can’t change length unlike other kinds. As well as that it’d be fascinating to see what happens if you could propel the chain up from the bottom to start it off, just for comparison.
I remain unconvinced about any lever effect making a difference, but I’ve really enjoyed thinking about the problem these past few days.
(, Thu 2 Sep 2021, 17:15, Reply)
because the chain can be thought of as a series of rigid poles, when you lift one end of each pole, it wants to rotate around the centre of mass which means the other end pushes against the surface, imparting an upwards force. These forces add up, being larger with the speed you pull the chain, leading to the chain leaping from the surface.
The rest of the effect is the natural tendency of a chain to follow the route taken by the previous sections.
This is why he says there has to be a minimum bend radius, so that the chain will act like a series of poles, not just a flexible tube.
Mould asserts that it should not happen with rope and some surface is required, technoboom is trying to show the effect is still there without a surface or minimum bend radius.

Not sure what you mean by 'sustain', we're quite capable of increasing herd numbers to any level with traditional bull fucking, limited only by space and economics. just takes a bit longer and involves more cracked pelvises for the heifers. Besides, I don't see artificial insemination as the worst indignity inflicted up cows by a long shot. I remember driving past these fucking enormous feedlots in southern california. there must have been near 100,000 cows stretching off into a cowey distance, just dust and manure and not a tree or blade of grass in sight. still, yours is a pragmatic response to a question that often stumps the more glassy-eyed animal welfare advocates

I noticed a number of pretty bad effects to the local wildlife though. I think the disruption to the feeding habits of our scavengers caused a bit of a domino effect... I think foxes, rats and pigeons started to compete for food with surrounding forest, farm and scrubland critters.
I noticed a dramatic drop in the numbers of hedgehogs, stag beetles, lesser stag beetles, and dragonfly. Also I've not seen a common cockchafer since then.
The hedgehogs are hanging on, but I see one or two per week, when before I'd see one or two groups of 3-5 per day. I saw one or two big dragonfly this year, but none of the smaller blue/azure damselfly for two years. There used to be thousands of them.
