The Slinky was developed for the Navy as an anti-vibration device for ship instruments. When the Slinky failed to work for the Navy, it became one of the most successful toys of all time!
Later on in life somebody figured it demonstrated like... unlimited inertia or sumn... take it to the mall and put it on an upwards escalator ^_^

A popular toy used to demonstrate seismic waves is the Slinky toy. By holding one end of the Slinky and shaking it back and forth, you can create a visual representation of how seismic waves travel through the Earth. The coils of the Slinky demonstrate the movement of energy waves, similar to how seismic waves move through the Earth.
How do you use a slinky?
We thank you for adopting a slinky! Now that you have a slinky of your own, you can find many uses for your little friend. Traditional uses involve putting the slinky atop a high object -commonly a staircase. Place the slinky on one flat end, and then tip the top of the slinky, so the other flat end falls onto the next lowest area -in this case, the next stair step. The slinky will then begin to fall down the stairs on its own, flipping and flopping over itself as it goes. If you wish, you may sing the Slinky Song as it does so. Slinkies are also useful for stretching, and particularly loing ones can be used for clumsy games of jumprope, emulating a sine graph (wonderful for distracting physics students!), and wrapping around things. The ends of a slinky can also be used for poking things, but we ask you not to harm anyone with your slinky, for it makes the slinky sad. Remember to take good care of your slinky, lest it get tangled and very hard to unravel. We wish you years of fun with your slinky, and perhaps you'll find even more uses for it.
