Nah. It'd probably slink closer to the edge and get crunched inside the elevator, making everything go haywire. Or maybe it'll just stop slinking and get crushed at the top... haywire... etc. etc. etc.

Good question !! I think if the speed of the escalator matched the falling speed of the Slinky, it would indeed go on until one or the other gave out( wore out or stopped )... Nice question for us non-technical types who still enjoy science !!!

It might go on forever if you have a super long escalator, or you might have to have a super slinky to work.

Probably not. Too many variables in the equation for the slinky to stay the course. Interesting thought, though.
...jj

Well it depends it would have to be going pretty fast and besides just the way the slinky is built it wouldn't work.

Interesting question.
I like the thought.
Don't know.
Would be fun to find out.
Wish I still worked at the mall and I could test the therroy after hours.
