The egg is specially prepared by soaking in strong vinegar which removes the calcium in the egg shell, thus making it quite flexible.
MATERIALS NEEDED: glass bottle with a long, narrow neck (an apple cider jug works well), boiled egg, matches. PROCESS: Put the empty bottle on a table, Peel the boiled egg, Light a match and drop it into the bottle. Repeat about three or four times, Quickly put the egg over the mouth of the bottle. EXPLANATION: The lit match heats the air inside the bottle. When air is heated it expands and takes up more room. As the heated air expands, some of it escapes out of the bottle. When the matches go out, the air inside the bottle cools and contracts, which takes up less room. This creates a lower pressure inside the bottle than outside the bottle. The greater pressure outside the bottle forces the egg to get sucked into the bottle.
Galileo created the thermoscope by taking a small glass bottle, about the size of an egg; that had a long neck, that was full of water. He heated the bottle with his hands and submerged it in a large bottle of water.
Egg Vacuum For an experiment I decided to do 'Egg Vacuum'. It is a force of air that pushes the egg inside of the bottle; this is the method we used: # Find a bottle with a long, narrow neck and set it on the table. The opening should be just small enough to keep the egg from falling inside. # Boil and peel and egg. # Drop 3 lit matches into the bottle. # Quickly place the egg over the mouth of the bottle. What happens you may ask? The lit matches heat the air inside the bottle. When air is heated it expands and takes up more room. As the heated air expands, some of it escapes out the bottle. When the matches go out, the air inside the bottle cools and contracts (and takes up less room), thus creating a lower pressure inside the bottle than outside. The greater pressure outside the bottle forces the egg into the bottle. Now I'm going to tell you about Expansion, Expansion is an increase in the size of a body without the addition of material to the body. Most solids and liquids expand when they are heated and contract when they are cooled. Gases also expand when they are heated at a constant pressure. If a gas is heated in a container that prevents expansion, the pressure of the gas increases. If I wanted to get the egg out, I would simply turn the bottle upside down and blow into it. The increased air pressure in the bottle will cause the egg to pop back out. Below are some useful Related Links:
The matches burn up the oxygen, removing it. This causes a vacuum, which pulls the egg in. Also the heat from the matches expand the air in the bottle. Once they have gone out, the air cools and contracts, causing a vacuum and pulling the egg in.
Find a bottle with wide mouth .If not available breake the egg and pour in bottle.
Put egg into a cup of vinger then You will be able to push it into a bottle after sometime.
If you're referring to the common science demonstration, the answer is that the heated air in the bottle expands. When it re-cools (after the egg has been placed on the neck of the bottle) it is at a much lower pressure than the surrounding atmosphere; the weight of the air above it is then sufficient to push the egg into the bottle.
Yes, place a flame (match, candle, etc) inside the bottle, then quickly place an egg on top. As the air in the bottle burns, the pressure will drop and the egg will be sucked into the bottle.
That's a weird question, but here goes. Light a couple of matches and put them in bottle. I assume in your case it would be a beer bottle. Quickly place the boiled egg over bottle opening. The burning of the matches will convert the oxygen in the bottle to carbon dioxide, creating a vacuum and sucking the egg into the bottle. Another way is to stick the egg in some vinegar for an hour. Vinegar will soften the egg so it can easily slide in. You could also put water in a pot and let it start to boil. After the water is heated take the water and put it into the glass bottle and quickly put the egg on the top of the bottle. That should compress the oxygen just as good as a match could. You should get the same reaction if done properly. You can also bring the egg out by putting some baking soda on the egg and pouring some vinegar in the container.Quickly turn the container upside down.
UltraViolet by Paco Rabanne is in a purple egg-shaped bottle.
No, because the plastic is flammable.
Absolutely! This is a very common experiment. A Frappuccino bottle is the perfect size for a peeled hard boiled egg. First drop a piece of paper into the bottle. Then take a lighter a light the paper on fire. Quickly place the egg into the bottle opening. Observe what happens!
