00:00:01
Lots of raw eggs.
00:00:02
Now there's a lot
of cool science
00:00:03
experiments to do with eggs.
00:00:04
But today, we're talking about
the strength of an egg.
00:00:07
Believe it or not, right
out of the shoot, you
00:00:08
can try this at home.
00:00:08
You just take a raw egg, put it
in your hand and squeeze as
00:00:11
hard as you want, and
no matter how--
00:00:15
I'm Steve Spangler and I'm all
about making science fun.
00:00:18
For the last 20 years, I've
been teaching ways to turn
00:00:21
ordinary science experiments
into unforgettable learning
00:00:25
I have an amazing team who will
do whatever it takes to
00:00:28
affect the way people
think about science.
00:00:31
And to do that I live
by one motto.
00:00:33
Make it big, do it right,
give it class.
00:00:41
Well, let me start by
apologizing for my
00:00:43
inappropriate conduct.
00:00:48
The deal here is this, I didn't
do the thing right,
00:00:51
because if you take an egg,
normally, and you put it in
00:00:53
your hand and squeeze, there's
no problem at all.
00:00:55
But this hand would be fine,
this hand is not.
00:00:59
Because of the ring.
00:01:00
See the ring put pressure at a
certain point and it broke.
00:01:03
Which brings me to thinking this
is pretty cool, if you
00:01:06
make somebody with a ring
squeeze it in their hands, it
00:01:08
will crack on them.
00:01:09
And somebody without the ring,
it won't crack at all.
00:01:11
It all has to boil down to
the shape of the egg.
00:01:14
And isn't nature amazing?
00:01:15
How it knows how to make
this dome shape.
00:01:18
When you look at it like this,
if this doesn't look like a
00:01:20
little piece of architecture,
I don't know what does, with
00:01:23
And you look at how it
distributes the weight on
00:01:26
either side, perfectly.
00:01:27
We simply emulate nature in
architecture and it works.
00:01:30
So a long way of saying,
put it your hand
00:01:33
like this and squeeze.
00:01:34
And if you squeeze as hard as
you can, honestly, as hard as
00:01:37
you can, you can't
break the egg.
00:01:39
Because all of that pressure
is being disseminated, or
00:01:41
dispersed, all over
that shell.
00:01:44
Now there are times where I've
done it this way, and tried to
00:01:46
crack it like this.
00:01:47
And sometimes it's a
little easier, even
