Re: Never ending Slinky?
You could use closed loop control with some form of sensor array (I have no idea what you'd use - that's for people with more free time and money than I have to figure out ) monitoring the position and "speed" of the Slinky and controlling the speed of the escalator to keep it "slinking" in place. So who wants to commandeer an escalator for this project?
