Technically that's just how many sheets of paper it takes to slow an egg down to speeds that a sheet can stop it without breaking it

I love that he included himself tripping.

Looks like the biggest trick was to reduce the energy in increments that didn't exceed the breaking force. Love your vids Bruce, glad to be in your new class! ;D

Potato guns can do some serious work if they are designed right, I've got one that shoots golfballs at 750 FPS and makes about 875 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, and that's just with propane and atmospheric air. Another one I made was capable of magnum rifle energy levels, a stoichiometric mix of air and fuel were compressed (to 10 bars) into it's chamber which was contained by a burst disc between the chamber and barrel, then once the chamber was pressurized an electric spark ignites the mixture and the pressure (about 500 PSI) generated breaks the burst disc, made of either stacked layers of aluminum foil or cut out pieces of 2-liter soda bottle walls. That gun could fire golfballs at 2100 FPS, making just shy of 7,000 ft-lbs of energy😁. Recoil wasn't too bad considering the gun weighed 40 pounds, though it was still pretty stout and definitely shoved me around pretty good lol.

bruce i feel you are just egging us on with these videos. what fun and great eggutainment

This is absolutely entertainment and educational!. I love it. One things is Eggs in the US are washed and sanitized. The washing process removes the natural protective coating called a “bloom” or a “cuticle” from the surface of the egg. So, maybe farm fresh eggs might have different results?

This is my first time watching any videos from this channel but I've got to say this is the quality content that we need more of on KZread. More scientific than a lot of "scientific" channels really are and you can tell this man is just enjoying himself while he figures out how to catch an egg. Every man wishes he could express his inner child by catching really fast eggs.

I appreciate the time you take to set up and film these experiments! And you do such a wonderful job putting YOURSELF into it. Quite literally😂 your joy when you succeed is like a child and it’s refreshing! As Destin from Smarter Every Day said, you and him have similar minds, and I have to say I’m of a similar mind as well! The only constructive feedback I have is maybe on SOME, not all, of your successful experiments you repeat them twice just to prove the result. But honestly this video seemed more for pure fun so idk if that’s even valid feedback😂 All in all, great video!

I loved the parachute, balloon, panty hose combo, that was an audacious Mission Impossible inspired move. Great film.

Wow, Bruce, just when I think I could not be more amazed by your videos you outdo yourself. Can't imagine how much work went into this.

You could try taping a bamboo skewer about 7x the length of the egg to the egg, like the stick on a bottle rocket, to see if that keeps the egg from turning sideways. Or affixing tailfins or perhaps the tail of a badminton shuttlecock.

Impressive. I always got amazed with your videos. I feel like I returned back to school. Amazing! Thank you Bruce. Please bring more vídeos!

Let's all say: EGGSELLANT! Eggs Sell like ants... We eat too many! Shoot them at stuff to see when and how you can't break them. Very cool video! Thanks for your efforts and documenting the adventure. Peace and Love.

What a wonderful no nonsense, densely interesting video! I LOVE this pacing. Other creators would have made a video for each test you've made, but you chose to not waste any time and keep all the interesting parts in a nice condensed package: I absolutely commend your effort.

This is such a great classic KZread video. I love it. Thank you.

Splendid experiment(s), but God knows how long it took you! 10/10 for persistence. I'm glad you found two solutions. It's interesting how gradual the deceleration has to be to avoid breakage,

Thank you Bruce. Master class as always

This is the content I subscribed for.

So much hard work. Thanks for the video

*@Bruce Yeany* 7:50 I assume you could use some more papers at the back portions of the rings? (or multiple spaced layers of that cloth sheet?) I assume that because the egg has lost some speed, it doesn't impact the paper as hard then, so then you can increase the layers, to keep the "impact energy" constant, near the maximum that the shell can withstand. You can also experiment by using silk-paper (the thinnest you can find), to add "fractions" of a newspaper's worth of hardness, to really fine-tune the impact-energy.

Another great video. You remind me of my physics teacher many years ago who brought experiments to life. Eggs from younger chickens generally have thicker shells. They are also a bit smaller

Always great to see your fun experiments! You're students were lucky to have you. My science teachers were mostly excellent, I guess I was lucky too ;-) (Mostly, because my chemistry teacher in high school didn't really know much chemistry. She was perfectly nice and made an effort, but her lack of knowledge was a bit of a problem.)

I love the pacing of this video. No fluff, no bs. just experimenting.

I want to see a Bruce Yeany and Tech Ingredients collaboration. I know your content is gear towards your students Bruce but you're the right person for this sort of thing. Making education fun and approachable for anyone who cares to seek it.

OK OK OK! Let me say that the music you put in this video is awesome, totally appropriate with a great groove!

I love your channel!

Fantastic video. Thank you!!!!

Great demonstration of the nonlinear relationship between speed and kinetic energy (which I always try to bear this in mind when driving or cycling). Before you got to the newspaper setup, I wondered about using a series of loosely-held silk cloths - strong but light and flexible - starting out small at the front. I think that would give longer contact times than tearing paper. Perhaps aerodynamic benefits too. Really enthralling video, thank you!

I love that KZread has been recommending me so many honest, wholesome science channels lately. It's rare they deserve kudos, but this is definitely one of the those times. Genuinely, if all teachers in STEM had this level of enthusiasm, I think a lot more kids would be compelled to pay attention to it all.

You are a treasure Bruce.

This is the most interesting physics class I've ever had. !!

Holey sheet, that was some eggcellent tests. It cracked me up when you cracked that egg you were trying to save. Then, to see you trip, I would have lost it if that egg hit you right after. It was nice to see you finally catch it, though.

@YeanyScience

6 ай бұрын

you may not have noticed but the egg landed less than 10 feet away form me

I think the main problem for a lot of the failed attempts is just a matter of weight and momentum of the sheet. With the lighter sheets the egg will just punch through, but the reinforced sheets become so heavy that to the egg at 300mph they might as well be a solid wall. Basically, even if the sheet has lots of give, the egg will already shatter from trying to overcome the static momentum uf the sheet before it manages to impart enough kinetic energy for the sheet to start moving with the egg. Thats also why it doesn't matter whether the sheet is attached directly to ropes, or to a parachute. It's overcoming the momentum of the sheet itself that's the problem. So ideally whatever material you use to catch the egg should be as light, elastic, and high-tensile strength as possible.

With the sheet method being so successful with slightly slower eggs, and the egg successfully passing through the sheet without breaking, to me the most obvious solution would just have been to add multiple sheets spaced apart. My guess for that 300mph egg, it would have required only three sheets, but maybe it would also stop in two.

@YeanyScience

6 ай бұрын

I tested several materials, the problem with using the sheets and other materials to slow the eggs down is that about half the time they will break passing through them. I tried four sheets but didn't show it, the egg broke on the second one

funny I was just thinking along the same lines, I thought these would make some interesting problems, I've been thinking of getting some photogates to get some more accurate readings

Since one sheet doesn't break it, use multiple sheets until you find how many you need before the last one catches it.

Amazing stuff

Well done sir.

It would be a fun engineering competition to see who could stop the egg in the shortest distance without breaking it!

@@YeanyScience I wait on baited breath! Seems to me rifling might have some slight reduction in muzzle velocity vs the smoothbore at the trade-off of accuracy. I'm also extremely curious how the rifling would affect the sabot if at all. Also also I feel that might fix the issue with the egg always rotating perpendicular to the airflow and if it does that could both greatly increase accuracy but also presumably increase range even with a lower muzzle velocity at the same pressure.

Builds egg cannon... Proceeds to yeet eggs into low Earth orbit 😂

If anything this proves that eggs are sturdy little buggers. They break spectacularly, but they are also really tough.

At some point, this stopped being a science experiment and started to become an eggciting ballistics test.
