You mean the function of any workING tension spring is not replaceable with the functionless slinky - could It be that your so spaced out to not know

A SLINKY IS NOT A SPRING

Shove your head further up Nasa's Blackhole

A slinky car is not replacing a tension spring, you said it was a tension spring - why cant you replace a tension spring then, stop dodging.

a slinky isn't a spring because it can't perfectly replace another spring? why does this apply to only slinkys and not other springs?



in this example its not replacing a tension spring, it's creating a tension spring. well in reality a slinky IS a tension spring, this is just giving it a direct application.

I don't think it would be hard to find another application where a slinky could perfectly replace another tension spring though, they are afterall both tension springs.

I'd argue it's not nonsense though. You are arguing just for the sake of arguing that has no resolution in sight. You are 100%, by definition doing exactly what the word Eristic is defined as. You are either:

a. Trolling this forum

b. Down so deep in the rabbit hole you just don't know what to do

c. Scared of getting professional help

d. Some type of multi personality / dissociative identity issue using this forum as an outlet with your FE theories and delusions and living another life outside of this personality.

I'd like to say it's a mix of all them. Just stop already it's getting old. You're not fooling anyone here

Would you define a trampoline spring as a tension spring, for purposes of this discussion?

How about a garage door spring?

Yes those are functioning springs, a slinky is just a helical coil that does not exert a constant tension from one end to the other - and so by any definition, its not a spring

Even though Nasa will try to tell you its a spring, this is what they do all the time, keep you confused and distracted.

Think about it, Nasa and Smithsonian Astrophysics are trying to tell you what a slinky is - dont you find that even remotely odd?

a garage door spring is literally the exact same design as a slinky tho. they are a different gauge of wire but it's literally the same thing in terms of shape and how they exert or store force. that's why they're both tension springs.

This is just more blatant strawman, the debate is whether a slinky is a spring - if you have nothing of interest to add - stop spamming kid.

i guess one thing is that Card learned today what a tension spring is even if he cant admit it.

You're beyond hope FeelsBadMan
