For those science fanatics out there check this out. In this video, you’re going to see some different experiments done with eggs. It’s quite surprising that there are lots of things that we don’t know about eggs yet. But here, you’re going to find out some of them, and you’ll definitely love it. You might want to try those at home too. You just have to be careful in doing those because some of them are pretty dangerous, especially with young kids.
But first of all, here’s some very short information about eggs. Do you imagine the importance of eggs in our diet? Yes, that’s right. The egg is one of the top-ranking food items needed by our body in terms of nutrients. It has a nutritional value grade of 100, making it very vital in the human diet. But, let’s go and have a look at some of the scientific experiments conducted by the crazy Russian hacker and learn from them.
On his first experiment, he shows how to separate the yolk from the albumen by simply using a plastic bottle. The trick is to squeeze the bottle first to create suction to suck the yolk out of the albumen. That way you separate the yolk without any mess or hassle at all.
The second one is, he’s demonstrating how to easily peel a hard boiled egg. It’s so witty of him to have discovered that. It works by removing the top and the bottom parts of the shell and forcefully blowing on the bottom part to extract the entire egg out of its shell. It looks very simple, but we’ve never thought of that before. We have been used to cracking the entire shell for us to be able to peel the whole egg. Hmm, very clever.
The guy also teaches us how to know if an egg is fresh or not. Do you know how? It’s a no-brainer. You just got to spin it around on a flat surface, and if it spins fast, it’s fresh, but if it spins slowly, it isn’t. He explains that fresh eggs have denser and firmer insides unlike the watery consistency of old eggs that moves around as it spins, thereby interfering with its speed acceleration. Wow, I will definitely do this in buying eggs next time.
Among his experiments, there’s one that really amazes me. It’s when the egg remains at the middle of the glass filled with water and salt solution. It looks astonishing, doesn’t it? The scientific explanation there is this. The first half of the water in the glass has a very high concentration of salt, and of course, the egg would float. The guy then adds fresh water slowly almost up to the rim of the glass, the egg remains at the center because the liquid in the upper part of the glass has less salt concentration unlike the lower part. It’s so amazing. It’s so exciting to learn about these things. Not only it widens our knowledge, but it also makes our brain more active.
