Silver Egg Experiment! Fire and Water turns makes the egg shiny

Ғылым және технология

Silver Egg Experiment - Watch this incredible video on how plain egg becomes silver right before your eyes! This requires a dry hen's egg at room temperature. Hold an egg near a candle flame to cover it with soot. It will need to be completely covered. This is tricky, because if the egg is a tiny bit damp the soot will easily flake off on to your fingers as you turn the egg. Once the egg has a nice black sooty coating, gently immerse it in a bowl of water.
If it is completely covered, the carbon in the soot repels the water and holds a fine film of air. This will give the egg a silvered mirror appearance.

    Esto requiere de un huevo de gallina seco a temperatura ambiente. Mantenga un huevo cerca de la llama de una vela para cubrirlo completamente con hollín. Tendrá que estar completamente cubierto!. Esto es un poco complicado, ya que si el huevo esta un poco húmedo el hollín se descascara fácilmente en sus dedos a medida que gira el huevo. Una vez que el huevo tiene una bonita capa de hollín negro, suavemente sumerjalo en un recipiente con agua. Si está completamente cubierto, el carbono del hollín repele el agua y mantiene una fina película de aire. Esto le dará al huevo una apariencia de espejo plateado. Traducido con ayuda de Google

    +Eliecer Acosta Except there you can see the Leidenfrost effect, and it's not air that is released, but steam. This one here relies on a different principle. The soot coating from the candle wax, which is just carbon nanoparticles, is hydrophobic. It repels water by trapping a small amount of air near to its surface, which makes it look that way.

    ***** If you slow down the video to 0.25x speed at around 13 seconds in and watch the egg as it enters the water, you can see that it "pushes" the water downward with a film of air instead of becoming immersed in the water. So the egg is hydrophobic and does not change in chemical structure while in the water. I still don't know what exactly makes the wavelengths come up silver, and I'm not a physicist so I probably won't figure it out, but I think it might have something to do with it.

    Kenny Duran The colour "silver" in this context is just high reflectivity without colour loss; if you did this with red-tinted water, it'd probably look shiny red instead.

    Victoria McFadden So if I'm understanding properly,the color silver is like a toned down white in terms of wavelengths?

  • @victoriam586

    @victoriam586

    9 жыл бұрын

    Kenny Duran There is no such thing as a "white wavelength"; what we perceive as white is actually an equal stimulation of our retinas' red, green, and blue cone cells - meaning a balance of all three wavelengths (~700nm, ~500nm, and ~450nm respectively) or approximation. Try taking a magnifying lens to your computer screen, and you might see that pixels aren't solid colours but rather tiny grids of RGB! If you'd like to learn more, I suggest looking up "additive colour" and colour theory.

    +Roman Arana It'll work with both. You're just covering the egg with candle wax soot, which is basically just carbon nanoparticles, that happen to be hydrophobic at that scale. Actually, it should work with almost any other object, so long as the soot can stick to it. Unless the egg's pores play a role in the process, which I find unlikely.

    +Quirijn Langedijk The surface of the egg becomes hydrophobic, meaning it repels water, so when the egg is submerged it repels the water leaving a very small air pocket around it, which appears shiny.
