Actually, zip springs have been known for a long time. I can't remember who discovered them, but they have been know ever since the 1st golden age.
Zip springs are very commonly used in many things, such as tension springs, flex models, pandoras, etc. It depends on how you use them. Since they are at zero length, their tension is stronger than an ordinary spring and is able to let you make a flex chain that holds more and can be applied more nodes than the ordinary springs. How to make a zip is simple: create a mass, drag it on the corner, create another mass, click and drag it on the corner on top of the other mass and right click on it.
