qui ont tendance à former des spirales sous l'effet des vibrations-by JustinBondy

Two ball chains (the kind you find on light switches or inside toilets) are shaken on a slot-shaped horizontal plate. The shaking provides something like temperature and the chains are something like 2D self-avoiding polymers. The two chains are each 176 cm long and identical except that they are colored red and blue. After a while, they spontaneously separate from each other and wind themselves into two tight spirals, which then interact. The shaking frequency was 20Hz. The pictures are taken 5s apart and animated at 10fps, so each second of the movie is 50 seconds of real time.
