I do World Records in DiRT Rally, so you will not find much science in my channel,
but I might take on Veritasium's "Faster than the wind car".

The videos by Electroboom and Steve Mold about the Chain Fountain
and their theories on how it works, can be found here:

They are of course both wrong.

You could also compare this to a car taking a wide turn at 100Km/h, almost starting to slide.
If your take a narrower turn, like a hairpin at 100Km/h, the car will slide away from the turn.

The force that makes the car slide away from the narrow turn, is the same that is lifting the
chain, because it cannot make a wider turn due to the pull from the weight of the chain.
