How do hoses and extension cords get tangled so easily?

519 viewsOther

It seems like no matter how neatly I try and put them up, they always have become insanely tangled the next time I use them, even when nobody has touched them in between. There must be some sort of physical explanation for this. I’ve always wondered why, but I truly cannot think of an explanation. What causes this “phenomenon”?

Because you’re winding them incorrectly. You have to learn the over under method of coiling to prevent it. By looping it first over then the next loop over you create a tension in the coil that prevents it from knotting up on itself.
