Re: Electronic Analogue To A Slinky

Would alternating a lot of capacitors and inductors in series
approximate a Slinky spring?

A simple model would be a parallel resonant circuit (RLC).  L and C would
dictate the oscillation frequency and R the damping factor.

But, if you are talking about a slinky walking down a flight of stairs,
forget about simple models.

Ah HA! Finally a situation where mechanics is more sophisticated than
electronics!

We have a Slinky that can walk down steps and you guys don't have
anything to compare..

Na na Na na NA NA.

It probably wouldn't be too difficult to make an electronic "slinky"
that could "walk" down a voltage.

It would make a really obnoxious car alarm.

Is it too late to cancel this post?
