When pulling the two ropes on each side

When pulling on the top and bottom ropes

When flipping the tube over

When shaking the tube

When pulling on one end of each rope

The ropes had tension when pulling the others

There was nothing inside the tube holding the ropes together

The hypothesis about the horse shoes is the most accurate based on our findings

The best hypothesis after extensive testing and examining was

This was later turned into a 3D model to convey our findings even further

How does the tube work?

How are the ropes connected?

Is there anything else inside the tube?

White Tube

6 Holes

6 Rope Endings

Ropes are longer than the horizontal length of tube

Ropes are somehow intertwined within the tube

Then the middle rope would not be able to move when the others are pulled

Then the middle rope would be able to still move with a little friction

Then the ropes should create the same pulling effect

Then something inside must be creating friction

Then the ropes are creating friction between each other
