There's actually a common technique for this involving using a twisted nylon stocking to put some high centrifugal force on an egg. Just look up 'Japanese golden egg recipe', most common thing it's called. Though I have a feeling Matt's egg-bit will be a LOT more effective.

1:07 What a classic Parker Square moment.

The drill is actually quite slow compared to your fingers snapping around the stalk of the Tippe Top, it has lots of torque but not much speed.. I realized this when making tops from LEGO Technic gears and wheels when I was smaller. The engine part that came with my technic set similarly had a fair amount of torque but low speed so to actually speed up a top I had to use the largest gear on the engine and the smallest one on the shaft of the top and also build a mount to stabilize the top from both ends or it would wobble too much and shoot to the side....

HAHA love the Pauling - Bohr joke.

The next step is to spin your drill-ready tippe top on a parabolic surface.

I thought this video would have the maths involved.

That Pauli explanation has to among the nerdiest jokes even you have told.

As a physics undergrad, the Pauli and Bohr jabs were hilarious.

I was already planning my mourning of standupmaths videos

@6:54 My ɡuess is that the speed of each end as it rotates is important. That the smaller end is spinninɡ faster than the biɡɡer end. I think this difference in rotation speed forces the biɡ end up and the small end down until a new equilibrium is found, straiɡht up and down. This way everythinɡ alonɡ the Y axis is equal As it moves past that equilibrium, speed of the smaller end slows down, the mass of the biɡɡer end then forces it back down.

I've always done those tippe tops wrong. I always spun it with my hand upside down so it hit the ground with the stick bit. never thought it would flip over if you just spin it like a normal top

I thought this would be about the *other* egg spinning trick: the one that allows you to tell the difference between a raw egg and a boiled one.

I expected the final shot to be a rock spun into the lens, shattering it. But I liked your ending better.

Today I was eating some kinder "Schoko Bons" and I spun one without much thought. It quickly stood up and reminded me of this video.

You are going to have some dizzy chickens on your hands.

I want a gif of his reaction when he tried spinning the egg with the drill

If you want something spinning ludicrously fast, ditch the drill and use compressed air.

Egg drill made my day.

Oh wow... when the egg shot off the tray, I couldn't stop laughing. So so so good! I love your custom "drill bit", but I don't think it's going to catch on in the Easter market.

You should rename the video to: What happens when a mathematician has some free time, easter eggs and a drill?

First place I ever saw the tippe top was at the Exploratorium in SF during the 80s. I'd bought them as souvenirs for my family. I was young at the time and didn't have much pocket money.

The joke about the Bohr atomic model and the Pauli Exclusion Principle are hilarious, great video!

10:15 now we gently speed it up "yeeeeeeah" *Egg gets thrown out of the table, flying across the room* HAHAHAH laughed so hard

You should definitely do a video on the physics. It's so intriguing to me. I love your channel!

Best part of video 10:09 don't question what he's doing...

Australian beach pebbles spin fat-end down.

HowToBasic would be proud. specially at the end :P

So that is why we have eggs in easter. I get it now.

Science vs screwing around, is the mere fact of writing it down.

This has just became my favorite KZread video

This also works with footballs (american football) and similarly-shaped objects.

The massive egg spin was a Parker success

no video of matt will never get a "you parker squared it" comment

I'm much more interested in the physics behind it

You killed the tippe top's ability to grip the tray when you ground the Phillips head into it. Also I suspect a plastic cup would give you a better result as an electric egg spinner.

i so waited for the mathematics and the video ends with a cliffhanger.. damn.. give us the sequel

Your videos are really interesting. I am learning a lot of new things from your videos and its really helpful. Keep up the good work!

you actuually made me jump even suggesting you'd drill-spin the stone. Very glad you didn't...

9:06 yells at it like its going to listen :)

It has probably been at least a year since I last exclaimed out loud whilst watching a KZread video, but this made me gasp in shock out loud when the Easter egg balanced itself vertically. :D

Is this one of those examples that show why some people become mathematicians and not engineers? 😁

The egg files off because it's trying to reach a more stable orientation and stands up, going out of the holder as a result and being pushed by it instead

Something I find even more interesting is if you have a stone that is circular, flat on one side, and slightly domed on the other, an start it spinning on the domed side. Like the egg shape, it 'stands' in a 90 degree rotation from its normal stable point, but, when it slows down, it invariably settles on the flat side. I use some such stones as markers when I play D&D, and I think they're sold at games shops as markers, if anyone is interested in trying it. (After some google searching, the game Mancala often has what I'm talking about, so just google "mancala stones" to see the thing I'm talking about.)

My mouth was solidly open for the first minute of this and I don't even have any eggs to consume

I wish someone would think of me like how Matt thinks of maths.

Keep it up, Matt. I think your channel is pretty fun. You have a really quirky sense of humor. :)

I literally screamed out loud when he said he was going to spin the rock with the drill. Now my family thinks I'm crazy. Thanks for that...

Never been that excited for easter.

4:16 egg: *has about 2 seconds to do its thing, just begins to do it* matt: *yeets it out of frame* that one’s not working

Here's something I learned from experience: Boiled eggs do spin similarly to the video, raw eggs do not, they just immediately go into a wobbly situation I use it every time I mix up the two (yes I do eat boiled eggs enough to need this method)

The pebble that almost stood up but would always fall is actually a good demonstration of the change in angular kinetic energy. Every time it managed to just stand up, the change in kinetic energy would slow it down so much it would return to its non-spinning state of equilibrium. I'm surprised you actually went ahead and attempted to spin an egg with that dangerous looking meat-grinder of a "drill bit".

hey matt, great video. I look forward to seeing the spinning top maths video.

I like how you call out Bohr on his analogy of the solar system and symmetry that never seems satisfactory as an explanation for stable systems

that is really cool. I look forward to the explanation vid

Went to have a look at my sophomore year physics book where they included the same picture of Pauli and Bohr observing the top; the caption reads, "This photo shows Pauli and Niels Bohr watching the physics of a toy top spinning on the floor--a macroscopic analog of a microscopic electron with spin." That you said this was underwhelming made me lol.

Great editing and great story

For those who don't want to get a candy egg for Easter (watching those calories, maybe?), this is also possible with hard-boiled eggs! Raw eggs unfortunately do not work for some reason. Although that makes this trick a very good tool for telling if hard-boiled eggs are ready or not!

Favorite part --> the [chocolate] egg "*nestles* in there." Haha...

I read somewhere that this is a classic test used to tell whether an egg is hard-boiled or raw...

Great finish

I used to spin M&Ms to see them pop up on and end. Never thought of trying an egg.

Invoking Pauli's exclusion principle on a tippee top.... Gotta admit, I chuckled.

Great video. I'm keen to see the maths and physics behind it!

Good job, very funny, it's always funny to see people try and fail! Keep up the good work
