This movie depicts the rotational dynamics of an experimental 12-bead chain from rigid behavior to the third breakup transition.

This movie depicts the rotational dynamics of a simulated (ideal case) 12-bead chain from rigid behavior to the third breakup transition.

This movie depicts the rotational dynamics of a simulated (varying the magnetic properties) 12-bead chain from rigid behavior to the third breakup transition.
