50' chain of beads leaps and cavorts its way out of a jar

What an horrible paycheck metaphor

Also it’s 50 meters of chain, not 50 feet.

I’ve used these chains for fishing wires in walls. I’ve never seen that effect. I think the ones I use would just hug the edge of the beaker.

My guess is that you need a chain that has minimal distance between the balls, minimal flexibility and not one that can bend at a tight radius.

ding. simple idea, complex physics, fun to watch!

BTW, Metal Siphon was the name of my band in high school.
