The slinky was invented in 1943 by Richard James.

Yes, a slinky has potential energy when it is stretched or compressed. This potential energy is stored in the slinky due to the elastic properties of the material. When released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the slinky moves.

A slinky creates transverse waves when it is stretched and released. These waves move in a side-to-side or up-and-down motion, with the coils of the slinky vibrating perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
A slinky can "walk" down stairs due to the transfer of energy from the top of the stairs to the bottom. As the top of the slinky is released, gravity pulls it down, causing a wave of compression and expansion that propels the slinky downwards step by step.

A slinky creates a longitudinal wave when it is stretched and released, causing a series of compressions and rarefactions to travel through the coils of the slinky. This type of wave involves vibrations parallel to the direction of energy transfer.
As a slinky is compressed and released, each individual coil undergoes both stretching and compression motions. When you compress the slinky, the coils squish together and when you release it, the coils expand outward. This back-and-forth motion continues until the slinky comes to rest.
I think that the Slinky original is the best. It's bigger than the Slinky Jr. and will most likely go faster! BTW, I LOVE Slinky! Chow, ;)
The coils of a slinky are closer together at the bottom due to the gravitational force pulling down on the coils. This compression helps balance the tension in the slinky so that it can effectively transfer the energy and movement when stretched and released.
