Slinky Treadmill at the Exploratorium Kinetic motion energy transfers to elastic potential energy and then back to kinetic energy in a cycling process as a slinky spring "walks" down an incline. Put the system on a treadmill, such as this one at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, and the walking behavior can be explored for many minutes. Note that after a while the slinky's walking becomes erratic.🌟 With special thanks to the Exploratorium! ➡ Follow this link for more info about the Explorator
