I never would have thought an egg could go through 3/4" plywood! I'm really interested to see if you or your students can catch the egg at that speed without breaking it. Quite an upgrade from the traditional egg drop competition!
@@SurvivalSquirrel Yeah I'm sceptical too. Maybe he means he didn't think it would be possible to have it survive the acceleration to the necessary speed.
If we consider that a rifle bullet travels at 6.5X this velocity and is made of lead (quite soft and very malleable) and a thin jacked from copper alloy it makes a little more sense perhaps.
I made a potato cannon when I was younger and I figured out how to make a sabot and showed my friends how you could do this and shoot an egg whole. It was so fun and the look on their faces was priceless. I love your videos. thank you for keeping science fun.
we first saw that in the vacuum cannon when shooting ping pong balls. ruclips.net/video/nIL3HN4PQlI/видео.html various places through the video, good shot of it around 5 minutes 10 seconds
To slow egg down, you could try using a series of very thin square nylon fabric sheets 10"x10" or so. Hang them by the corners to the 4 long parallel wood rods using a bit of glue and thin stripes cut from napkins. The idea is that egg will catch fabric sheets one by one, reducing it's speed and at the same time it will build up a damping layer in front of it. When egg will lose part of its energy and will have lots of fabric layers wrapped around it, you could try to catch it with a sheet you showed, or using a huge pile of hay.
I was wondering how a very long tract of bubbly-to-foamy material would perform. Or a kind of series of frames with very loosely placed (unhitched) silk layers which the egg would accumulate over stages
I love your videos - spreading curiosity for science by showing that experiments are not only well within the reach of all of us at home, but also just plain old FUN!
@@YeanyScience ahaha, I bet! Well, as an honorary "night creature" myself I am in complete agreement with them. Even if my reasons involve less tasty snacks and more enjoyment of backyard science videos.
I love the wholesome "just tinkering around my house... -oh! I didn't see you there!" music, at the end of the video. Please make a series. This is like Mr Rogers meets Mr Wizard's World.
Few now remember the Great Hatchery War of 1925. Casualties were so heavy on both sides, few survived to carry on the memory of that slaughter. And those few survivors were too traumatized to talk about their experiences. They had seen what deadly farm weapons could to to humans. Egg bombs, egg artillery, machine gun eggs, and the ever-present AK-00 assault egg rifles. You could tell the veterans of that war by the look of terror in their eyes at the mere mention of breakfast. With our forks held high, we salute and thank you for your service.
It's the middle of the night and RUclips gave me you as a suggestion. I've never been here before but I got to tell you that was a pretty awesome video.
This has to be one of the most interesting and astonishing clips I have seen in a long time! It's an amazing demonstration of the laws of Physics, and actually provides insight into ballistics, collision theories and energy dispersion etc - very novel. Enjoyed it. The egg literally has more energy than a falling hailstone (of certain size, of course).
Great video! One try for catching the egg would be to hang thousands sheets of tissue paper from a rigid frame, with some space between each one. It might need to be angled slightly downwards to account for the loss of momentum as the egg slows down. Probably too much work, though. Another way, though even more unlikely to be built, would be to create a large rail gun to accelerate a frame holding a bed sheet, and connect the trigger to the air gun such that the sheet is traveling only slightly slower than the egg! Or as an alternate version, a second larger air gun could launch a weight attached to a cable that would pull the sheet frame along a rail.
Awesome video! My students built an air cannon that fired ping pong balls at 713 FPS (486 mph) at 80 PSI. The point was to see the speed that pneumatics could operate at and the dangers. We used a face shield as a target, and put a nice hole in the face shield.
Three ideas for catching the egg without breaking it. The first is a sheet of paper, and then another sheet of paper, and another sheet of paper, and so on, spaced about 3 inches apart. I don't know how many it would take to slow it to a stop, but thicker sheets of paper should slow it more and each should slow it down some. The second idea is basically the same configuration, but with bubble wrap. In both cases, I'd recommend something soft for them to land on after they've been slow down enough. The third one, going to be done with trash bags or balloons or pretty much anything else that could hold reasonably large pockets of air. But again, not just one of them. Same basic idea, each one it goes through should slow it down somewhat.
I would suggest multiple layers of fabrics of different mass, from lightest to heaviest. All fabrics should be spaced and mounted in a way to make it possible to easilly come of the mount and travel forth with the egg. Egg would keep catching more and more layers and slow down to finally end in something similat to what you showed at the begining of the video.
This was a great video and I always love your presentation style, but a discussion about why the helmet survived, when all the other seemingly stronger materials didn’t, would have been really educational and interesting.
That's a hard hat - it's a safety device for construction sites. They're designed to protect you from bricks and pipe falling from sky scrapers - they're extremely durable! For the record, something heavy drops - especially from a high height - it won't save your life, but does protect your head from a fair bit. In 35 years I've seen them crushed several times (once with a head barely slipping out in time!) but I've yet to see one pierced.
@@smgdfcmfah I get it but at the beginning of the video he mentioned deceleration and I think pointing out the fact that the helmet deforms to decrease deceleration is what helps prevent it from breaking
@@rdear Absolutely. That's why the helmet sits a good inch or more above your head, held up by the suspension (the part that actually touches your head.
Most laypeople think of material strength as a single variable. In engineering, there are a plethora of different measurements used to gauge the strength of a material. Plastics are relatively weak in ultimate strength, but they're extremely strong when it comes to withstanding flex and distortion. Plastic's flex allows it to spread the energy of an impact over a greater distance (like a bungee cord), lessening the peak force experienced by the plastic at any given moment in time. The lesser ability of metal to flex means the kinetic energy of an impact has to be absorbed over a shorter distance (like hitting concrete). Meaning the peak force is higher; enough to tear the metal in aluminum's case.
the egg is kind of like a incendiary round but instead with hydrostatic pressure. the shell delivers the initial whack then the mass of the white and yoke blast through as if they were unimpeded.
Now that is time well spent, testing an egg canon! I bet no one thought it would punch a whole in 3/4” plywood. The soda bottles were also spectacular!
My suggestion would be some sort of "bottomless" catch bin with some arrangement of panty hose inside. You can use the "legs" of the panty hose to tie to the rim. Or maybe just several layers (enough so it doesn't blow out the fabric) of panty hose stuffed inside each other and you can shoot the egg down the leg and it will decelerate the egg gradually as it the panty hose gets narrower and stretches out. I know panty hose works to some degree because I won my physics class egg drop 40 years ago with an egg suspended inside a 6" X 6" X 6" box with panty hose. In the egg drop "playoff" my teacher even went to the top of the press box for 6 more feet of height and threw (not dropped) the surviving competitors entries downward. Mine was the only one that didn't break....But I don't know if it would work on a 300 MPH egg.
I appreciate this video because a few years ago some kids driving by in a car shouted to get me to turn around and they threw three eggs at me. Two hit my open trunk and one whizzed right past my ear. If it had hit my eye it most certainly would have done a lot of permanent damage to it.
You should ask The Slow Mo Guys to do a colab on this one, it had been so nice to see what is happening with the egg in super slow-motion and also see how you all look when hitting the board as hare as you can with a hammer :D
I whole heartedly agree that you should do a collaboration with the Slo-Mo-Guys or Smarter every day, but I’d very much like to see you try hard boiled eggs next time as well. Great Video !
it's not easy, after where I think I have it, I then go to the target and look back at the cannon, if I can see all the way down the barrel I have it about right. I'm thinking of adding a laser point to help
Of courses I enjoyed this video. Just amazing egg explosion session. Eating eggs has different meaning now. Shooting at laptop was a masterpiece to conclude the video. Thank you Teacher!
*@Bruce Yeany* 8:56 To catch the egg, you probably need some multi-stage material, and a very deep catching area. The problem is that the egg needs to slow down slowly enough, and almost anything, even the softest feathers will break it at that speed. Maybe some structure like: dense smoke? --> foam --> loose cotton/wool? --> maybe aerogels --> maybe some liquids by now --> eventually something "solid" like cloth, for it too finally land in without breaking.
2 things that Amazed me. 1. How the egg is able to withstand such amount of sudden acceleration with liquid inside and Hard cover outside. 2. The frequency of wings of the bee which appears to be fast even in slow motion.
Imagine sitting on your back porch enjoying a drink and then suddenly your neighbor sounds off the world's loudest gong with an egg going almost mach 0.5
That is amazing! I haven't enjoyed a video this much in a long time. For catching the egg without breaking try a large air bag for stunt men to jump off buildings onto.
Subscribed My first thought has been proven by the comment below, please do a collaboration with the “slow Mo guys”. Guaranteed the world will love it.
Layered Fabric Deceleration System: Egg Container: Place the egg within a protective container or casing to prevent it from cracking upon initial contact. Multiple Fabric Layers: Arrange several layers of soft, lightweight fabric in the egg's path. These layers should be securely anchored to a frame or support structure. Progressive Deceleration: Each fabric layer should have a specific attachment mechanism designed to slow down the egg when it hits. This could be achieved through adhesive properties, elastic bands, or Velcro-like attachments. Sequential Release: As the egg impacts the first fabric layer, it slows down gradually. The attachment mechanism then releases the fabric layer, allowing the egg to move on to the next. Repeating Process: The egg continues to encounter and slow down against subsequent fabric layers until it comes to a complete stop. Safety Frame: Ensure that the frame or structure supporting the fabric layers is stable and absorbs any remaining kinetic energy to prevent sudden stops. Testing and Optimization: Experiment with different fabric types, attachment mechanisms, and layer configurations to find the optimal combination that allows the egg to stop safely without breaking. This system would provide a series of controlled deceleration stages, gradually reducing the egg's speed until it comes to a stop. It's an inventive way to protect the egg during high-speed impact. Extensive testing and adjustments will be essential to fine-tune the design for optimal performance.
THE most interesting video I've saw on RUclips in years. Waitress: How would you like your eggs? Me: Scrambled with cheese. Hot sauce & DemoRanch on the side.
To catch an egg at high speed I would try a pendulum with a long (maybe 2 meter (6 foot)) arm that can freely rotate in a circle; could be vertical or horizontal rotation (horizontal might be easier to construct). At the end of the pendulum's arm I would try a net to catch the egg without breaking it. When the egg hits the net, its kinetic energy is transferred to the pendulum arm's rotational energy, which would spin around and around until that energy reaches zero.
Maybe you can try a “looping” or a “tornado” wooden mini track to stop the eggs. I don’t know how its called in English. Like a skateboard looping. Nice video!! Love to watch.
Please tell me your a middle school or high school teacher. We need people like you teaching our kids in a fun way that keeps them engaged with learning.
In Korea, there is a proverb that goes, “Hit a rock with an egg.” It's a metaphor for a futile act that is obvious even without looking at the result, but the proverb "A super-fast egg can smash a rock" also seems necessary.
To catch an egg- suspend a cordura sling pouch (target) from a tree on slip-off key rings mounted on finish nails. The pouch would be suspended from way high up in the tree on 1/4” bungee cord. Upon impact the lightweight pouch accelerates and is released from the tree. The egg stretches out the bungee and also begins to swing upon a long arc from the base of the tree. At some point, maybe 30’ from the anchor and 30’ high the egg would come to a stop and fall down. That’s where it gets interesting- it might be nice to have a piece of 50lb monofilament attached to the pouch or even chute cord that is anchored downrange even further and tied to a lightweight weight, hoisted high in a tree. When the pouch is released and begins to decelerate the egg- the opposite weight would fall toward the ground and hopefully arrest the energy contained in the eleongated bungee cords upon arresting the energy contained in the speeding egg. I’ve used a similar concept in tree work to arrest flying loads without the bungee- and it works really well. Maybe it would work with a 300mph egg? Great video, I imagine you’re a career educator, and if so, your students were/are fortunate to have you as their teacher!

This would make a great murder mystery for Sherlock Holmes. Man gets killed and all thats left is breakfast.
Layered Fabric Deceleration System:
Egg Container: Place the egg within a protective container or casing to prevent it from cracking upon initial contact.
Multiple Fabric Layers: Arrange several layers of soft, lightweight fabric in the egg's path. These layers should be securely anchored to a frame or support structure.
Progressive Deceleration: Each fabric layer should have a specific attachment mechanism designed to slow down the egg when it hits. This could be achieved through adhesive properties, elastic bands, or Velcro-like attachments.
Sequential Release: As the egg impacts the first fabric layer, it slows down gradually. The attachment mechanism then releases the fabric layer, allowing the egg to move on to the next.
Repeating Process: The egg continues to encounter and slow down against subsequent fabric layers until it comes to a complete stop.
Safety Frame: Ensure that the frame or structure supporting the fabric layers is stable and absorbs any remaining kinetic energy to prevent sudden stops.
Testing and Optimization: Experiment with different fabric types, attachment mechanisms, and layer configurations to find the optimal combination that allows the egg to stop safely without breaking.
This system would provide a series of controlled deceleration stages, gradually reducing the egg's speed until it comes to a stop. It's an inventive way to protect the egg during high-speed impact. Extensive testing and adjustments will be essential to fine-tune the design for optimal performance.

At the end of the pendulum's arm I would try a net to catch the egg without breaking it. When the egg hits the net, its kinetic energy is transferred to the pendulum arm's rotational energy, which would spin around and around until that energy reaches zero.
Amazing thank you for sharing. Never would have guessed this was possible originally thought it was hard boiled. Maybe that's an idea next

I know, should have put a kiddie pool underneath it to catch the liquid
Outstanding job! Very impressive! I can’t believe an egg could blow a hole through 3/4 plywood! Wow!
Please tell me your a middle school or high school teacher. We need people like you teaching our kids in a fun way that keeps them engaged with learning.
I taught middle school physical science for 41 years, retired a few years ago but still substitute occasionally
Bruce's yard is totally an insect attractant now... dozens of raw eggs turned to mist, chunks of watermelon, litres of soda... lol
Absolute old fashioned quality youtube right here
In Korea, there is a proverb that goes, “Hit a rock with an egg.” It's a metaphor for a futile act that is obvious even without looking at the result, but the proverb "A super-fast egg can smash a rock" also seems necessary.
would love to see a contraption that catches it
That was an eggceptional video. 🤣
I never imagined that a raw egg would be able to easily rip through a 1/4" , 1/2" and 3/4" piece of plywood.
Nice video :)
What will be interesting to try different shapes of bulets.
Like piramide, octagon, triangle, circle, and so on :)
I'm happy that I found this video. Very cool!
Bruce, that is totally wild! Thank you for this.
This has to be the coolest video I’ve seen in 2023 👍
To catch an egg- suspend a cordura sling pouch (target) from a tree on slip-off key rings mounted on finish nails. The pouch would be suspended from way high up in the tree on 1/4” bungee cord. Upon impact the lightweight pouch accelerates and is released from the tree. The egg stretches out the bungee and also begins to swing upon a long arc from the base of the tree. At some point, maybe 30’ from the anchor and 30’ high the egg would come to a stop and fall down. That’s where it gets interesting- it might be nice to have a piece of 50lb monofilament attached to the pouch or even chute cord that is anchored downrange even further and tied to a lightweight weight, hoisted high in a tree. When the pouch is released and begins to decelerate the egg- the opposite weight would fall toward the ground and hopefully arrest the energy contained in the eleongated bungee cords upon arresting the energy contained in the speeding egg.
I’ve used a similar concept in tree work to arrest flying loads without the bungee- and it works really well. Maybe it would work with a 300mph egg? Great video, I imagine you’re a career educator, and if so, your students were/are fortunate to have you as their teacher!
