Popis: Chain fountains are known since long time, and many efforts have been taken to model and to explain the dynamics of such a chain fountain. A chain consists of many small elements starting from an inertial container, forms this specific arc and comes to an inertial position again after a rather long vertical distance. As the chain elements are all connected by a bearing-type structure, they all have to move with the same velocity v. In the following we shall consider only the stationary case and not the evolution from a state of rest to the fountain with velocity v. Most models known use the idea of a continuous model. In the following we shall apply multibody theory in addition by modeling each bead with its connections separately. Results confirm the approach.
