NASA ADS means NASA Astrophysics Data System, not advertisements.

So Nasa is Nasa, cool
And where do i say the Ads in Nasa Ads stands for Advertisement - nice strawman.

What does this mean on their site: The ADS is operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory under NASA Cooperative Agreement NNX16AC86A

lol, exposing the co-ordinated lies.

Oh i see the issue - notice where it says its a "Nasa ad" - hmm wonder why they have a motive to feed you wrong information and propaganda - oh brother

Decompression spring you say? funny Cornell calls it a tension spring. Make up more stuff, your ignorance is showing.

To bad the whole thing is paid for by Nasa, If anyone is a Nasafan boy - its you, better cowtow boy.

Umm, right here:

guys a spring is only a spring if you classify it as the same type of a spring as Cornell. otherwise it loses its spring label and all tension. that much is clear, open your minds.

Nowhere did i say advertisement - i just called it propaganda

even on their homepage it has the Nasa logo - i mean wtf do you think Nasa and Smithsonian Astrophysics have to do with a slinky - wake up dummy!

No a spring is only a spring if it exacts constant tension from one end to the other, slinkys dont and are therefore not a spring, its really that simple.

Main Differences

Tension springs are mainly used to hold two components together whereas compression springs are used to keep components from meeting. Both springs have a coil spring design for strength and elasticity however they used in entirely different ways.

Tension Springs

The design difference between compression springs and tension springs is that the latter are usually have a loop or a hook attached at either end - these are for attachment purposes. Tension springs can be found in garage doors but a trampoline is a better example of this type of spring in action. The primary function of this type of spring is to allow an outside force to create tension then use energy to pull components back together. Tension springs are usually wound very tightly and this spring in a state of rest when it is coiled closely together. If the coils of a tension spring are damaged it will not be able to return to its original state of tension.

Compression Springs

Although compression springs are too a form of coil spring, it is designed to work differently to the tension spring. Compression springs are more often than not manufactured from a much larger gauge wire and are not wound as tightly as the tension. The compression spring is the most common type of spring and can be found in many different products and machinery such as; mattresses, pogosticks, watches and mobile phones. The compression spring is at rest when it appears to be in an extended position and is designed to resist a compressive force.

so to summarize, a slinky is a tension spring, but isn't a spring because it doesnt have constant tension?

so here's a source, lmk what if anything is wrong.



a slinky is a tension spring by this definition.
