These are experiments where an egg is sucked into a bottle, when
-- the bottle is heated, then allowed to cool
-- a burning piece of paper is placed inside
These have been used to demonstrate the effects of
-- temperature and pressure
-- the chemical binding of oxygen by oxidation
...and have been around since the 19th century (anytime since the invention of the glass milk bottle around 1877).

How long does it take to suck an egg into a bottle during an air pressure experiment?
About 1 minute...i think!
Why did the egg fall in 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.
What is the science experiment of Egg Vacuum also knowen as Sucking an egg into a bottle and how do you do it?
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:
What is the abstract for egg in bottle experiment?
First, the science behind a hard-boiled egg: Egg whites are made of water and proteins. Proteins are made of long chains of amino acids, but in an egg the chains are clumped tightly together in individual spheres. (These are called "globular proteins.") When the egg is heated, the proteins and water molecules begin to move faster. As they move and collide with each other, the individual protein chains start to "unravel," eventually bonding loosely with other protein chains, forming a network of protein with water trapped inside. The consistency has changed from runny egg white to a soft solid!So how does this squishy-but-solid egg get mysteriously pushed inside the bottle? The answer is all about air pressure. When you first set the egg on the bottle, the air pressure inside the bottle matched the air pressure outside, so nothing happened. When you dropped the burning paper into the bottle, it caused the air inside to heat up and expand rapidly. That expanding air pushed the egg aside and escaped from the bottle; that's why you saw the egg vibrating. When the fire consumed all the oxygen inside the bottle, the flame went out and the remaining air in the bottle cooled down. Cool air takes up less space, exerting less pressure inside the bottle. (The egg acted as a seal to prevent outside air from getting in to fill the extra space.) The result was an unbalanced force-the force of the air pushing on the egg from outside the bottle was greater than the force of the air pushing up on it from inside the bottle. Voila - the egg was pushed into the bottle!How do you get the egg out again? You need to increase the pressure inside the bottle. Turn the bottle upside down and tilt it until the small end of the egg is sitting in the mouth. Now put your mouth close to the bottle and blow, forcing more air into the bottle and raising the pressure inside. When you take your mouth away, the egg should pop out.
Can you use a plastic bottle for egg in a bottle?
No, because the plastic is flammable.

Can an egg be forced into a bottle pushed by air pressure only?
Certainly! It is a common experiment. Take peeled hard boiled egg. Find a wide mouthed bottle that the egg can sit on without falling into it. A Frappicino bottle is about the right size. Take a piece of paper, about the size of the piece of toilet paper. Light it on fire and drop it into the bottle. As soon as the fire goes out, set the egg on the mouth. As the air inside cools, the egg will be pushed into the bottle by the air pressure.
How do you get an unboiled egg into the bottle?
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!
What is the theory behind the experiment in which a boiled egg is sucked into the bottle when an ignited match stick is put inside when the boiled egg being placed at the mouth of the bottle?
When the air cools it retracts creating a vacuum. The Vacuum then pulls the egg into the bottle. Since the vacuum acts equally across the surface of the egg, it is able to gently but quickly pull the egg through the opening without breaking it... most of the time.
