BadSpongeBob: I'm 34, thought I'd paid attention in school, but never seen that before. Where have I been?

This demonstration wasn't dramatic enough to wake you up in class. I liked the one where the chem teacher blew methane bubbles and lit them on fire or ignited lycopodium powder in a paint can, blowing the lid off. There's also a version of the egg trick where you can use atmospheric pressure to crush a metal container. Good times.

Putting an egg (preferably raw) in vinegar simply dissolves the shell and leaves you with a thin membrane containing the egg white and yolk(sp?), like an egg-baloon.


Fun stuff.

I don't care for your tone...

or the put a dirty penny in taco bell hot sauce and it cleans it up all nice and shiny.

...or you could use vinegar and salt but it's not as much fun.

reminds me of a girl I knew once...

Message eggage in a bottle.

JakeElwood,

Don't forget the one where the Chem teacher demonstrates the volatility of pure Sodium by dropping a piece into a beaker of water and watching it bounce and flame on the surface.

And when I say 'piece', I mean a juge chunk the size of 2tbsp of butter.

Oh, and when I say 'bounce and flame on the surface', I mean explode violently sending chunks of flaming sodium across the first 3 rows of students, leaving tiny burn holes on books, clothing, and people's hair.

/Did not come back the next year.
//Glad I sat at the back of the class.

Sczi:
Hey there smart guy, you forgot the part where the fire goes out and the air cools and contracts creating the vacuum condition in the first place. Futher, the egg doesn't "seal" the bottle, it creates a "valve" which allows air to flow in only one direction. But way to go, insulting that other guy while simultaneously failing to follow up. Your fark-fu needs work. Otherwise well job, newb.

Hey, tough guy, he didn't forget it and his explanation is more sound than your's because he doesn't involve any "vacuum"s.

Ideal Gas Law: Pressure * Volume = constant * # of molecules of air * Temperature

Since volume is constant inside the bottle (before the egg finishes entering), Temperature and pressure balance each other out...the increase in temperature caused the number of molecules to decrease in the local volume since the system wasn't closed to the atmosphere outside the bottle (and so you couldn't create any meaningful pressure gradient at the mouth of the bottle). Placing the egg over the mouth seperates the local system from the atmosphere and the drop in temperature is therefore not allowed to be compensated for by an increase in molecules. The result is to lower pressure in the local system causing a difference to the outside atmosphere. The difference is enough to push the egg from above (no "vacuum", nothing is absent...just a positive pressure outside of the bottle).

Mr. Wizard had fun with this by heating an empty thin aluminum container with the cap off. Replace the cap and submerge in cool water. The container will crumple. This is because the outside pressure is pushing in on the cap (and the sides of the container), but unlike this video, the cap will not succumb to the pressure like the egg did. Instead, the sides are the weakpoint and the ideal gas law is satisfied by a rapid decrease in volume to accompany the rapid decrease in temperature.

But way to go, insulting that other guy while simultaneously failing to follow up. Your fark-fu needs work. Otherwise well job, newb.

MrPeepers With a bigger bottle, could I pull this off as a "baby-in-a-bottle" trick?

Who needs a bigger bottle?

Well, I can tell you that this doesn't work with a ship...

there was a time when this thread would have lacked the usual hostility in every thread these days...

/Not a TF'ing elitist, just been here a while

Yeah, I was pretty impressed with the level of hostility myself. It's as if normal farkers have been replaced with a bunch of self-righteous teenagers and college students or something....

Hostility and angst are totally in the spirit of the season.

ju66l3r: Hey, tough guy, he didn't forget it and his explanation is more sound than your's because he doesn't involve any "vacuum"s.

You basically said the same thing Sczi did, just in about 10 times the words. Except that rather than using the word vacuum, you say there's less pressure, and then call him an idiot for using the word vacuum. But less pressure is the same as a partial vacuum -- one of the dictionary definitions of vacuum is "a degree of rarefaction below atmospheric pressure". But hey, don't let reason get in the way of a good flame war.

approves

/takin' the sting out of the thread

Bottle cat laughs at the egg and says get with the spirt of the holidays!

I thought it was pretty cool.

/also must have slept through scinece class

runchkin: Submitter's mom likes "Dick in a Box" better than "Egg in a bottle."

OMG, I just laughed so hard I nearly pissed myself. Thank you, kind sir, for linking that.

DaBigDippa: Sczi:Otherwise well job, newb.

Gee thanks. Teach me more oh master of the english language.

Bwahahaha! That was a test, and you fail. Well job again, newb.

Shell On???? Looks like a hard boiled egg to me.....

ju66l3r: Hey, tough guy, he didn't forget it and his explanation is more sound than your's because he doesn't involve any "vacuum"s.

Haha, so there's no such thing as "vacuum"? Is that really what you're saying? In order of severity, I would say that the imprecision of failing to mention that the air contracts when the fire goes out compared to the imprecision of using the notion of vacuum as a positive force, the latter is clearly the more egregious. I just wanted to up the ante since homeboy was being a dick, but if you want to up it further, be my guest. I bet more people read my concise blurb than your verbose diatribe.

BTW, nice copy-and-paste job, minus italics, on the last line of your dissertation. It was the smartest part of your whole post.

/Amateurs

You don't even need vinegar for this trick if you do it his way with a shelled hard-boiled egg.

Hairy_Potter: Don't forget the one where the Chem teacher demonstrates the volatility of pure Sodium by dropping a piece into a beaker of water and watching it bounce and flame on the surface.

Duuuude I almost forgot. Very impressive to watch that stuff explode. As he was demonstrating that he waxed nostalgic about throwing chunks of sodium into the neighbor's pool. He was a hoopy frood.

I saw a cool egg trick in 'emmanuel in bangkok'. Find that one on youtube.

Holy crap. How does that work?

Sczi:Bwahahaha! That was a test, and you fail. Well job again, newb.

A test you say?

If the test is for proper usage of the word "well" versus the proper usage of the word "good", I do not see where I fail.

"Well" in this context is an adverb and as such is used to modify verbs. The word "job" is a noun so your usage of "well" to modfiy it is incorrect.

If you were trying to use the verb form of "job" then your comment was constructed incorrectly.

If you were trying to inform me that you needed a hole dug for the purpose of extracting some material such as water or oil, then yes, "well job" might be the correct terminology.

All I remember about Mr. Wizard is that he once dipped a rose in liquid nitrogen. He then dropped it and it shattered into a million pieces. My little 7 year-old brain was in awe.

Didn't SNL or someone make a spoof of Mr. Wizard? They kept using a "Timmy" child to do the experiments. Everytime they did a trick "Timmy" would be the one to do it while everyone else sat behind a safety wall. He was always exploded into bits, burned alive, dissolved by acid and whatnot. Each time it happened they said, "We're gonna need another Timmy!"

I really enjoyed that. Wish I could remember what it was from.

Man, I love you guys.

I needed a good round of laughing at someone, thanks!

I especially like how "original asshat" was "handed his ass" by many people.

Good job y'all!

That video makes me have to take a dump.

What I want to know is where I can meet the chick in the "MILF needs a real man" video linked in the rotating ads after the video ends.

See you have to soak the ship in vinegar and sodium and then light a match in the bottle creating a vacuum blowing the ship into the bottle. Then stand back and enjoy your job good done.

Because not only did I have you 100% accurately pegged as a grammar nazi, but you did not know that "well job" is an internet colloquialism that actually means "poor job".. which means ... drum roll please ... that I get to call you a NEWB again!

Here's one reference, circa 2004: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=well+job

But you just keep digging that hole! You'll see light eventually!

Golly, I guess you got me there. You have proven that you are indeed more 1337 than I when it comes to internet colloquialisms. I bow to your superior knowledge. Calling me a newb however, doesn't really bother me. It's obviously the only way that you can make yourself feel better about your deficiencies. So, you go on and keep fighting the "good" fight proving that you are superb at the important things in life like obscure internet phrases.

Did anyone else see the Full House where Joey do this trick when he was the substitute teacher for Michelle's class?

Well I did. And I'll take Uncle Joey to Mr. Wizard any day.
