  1. Correct link to Denmark Experimentarium slinky by b1t+r0t · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There's a link in the linked article to a 15-meter slinky in Denmark, but it's broken. The current link is here for the English version.

    I imagine it would be technically possible, but the escalator would have to be calibrated to synchronize with the slinky's rate of fall. Even after calibrating it very carefully, it would have to still be off by a little bit and would eventually go up to the top or to the bottom.
