Mould effect

固有名詞

A counterintuitive physical phenomenon observed with a chain of beads placed inside a jar: when one end of the chain is yanked from the jar and allowed to fall to the floor, it establishes a self-sustaining flow of the chain which rises up into an arch as if being sucked by an invisible siphon.

日本語の意味

「Mould effect」は、瓶や容器内に置かれたビーズや鎖状の物体が、一方の端を引き出すと、重力に逆らうかのように自己持続的な流れが生じ、鎖がアーチ状に上昇するという、直感に反する物理現象を指します。

Physicists filmed the Mould effect in slow motion as a bead chain streamed from the jar and arced into the air like a self-sustaining siphon.

物理学者たちは、瓶から引き出されたビーズの鎖が自ら流れを維持し、まるで見えないサイフォンに吸い上げられるかのようにアーチ状に空中へ立ち上がるというサイフォン状の現象をスローモーションで撮影した。
