The video tutorial demonstrates an experiment with a metal ring and a closed loop of chain. Initially, the expected outcome is shown where the ring falls off the chain. However, the video then explores how, with careful consideration, the ring can be made to stick to the chain, challenging the viewer's expectations and understanding of physics.
