I'm trying to suck an egg into a bottle

This is a science experiment my kid is trying to do for her 4-h project. Her project is on Tornadoes. We have tried and tried to suck an egg into a bottle and we cant seem to make it happen.

:confused5:

we have a long necked bottle a little smaller in diameter than the boiled peeled egg. Plenty of matches. Strike 3 matches, throw in the bottle & quickly put the egg on top. It's supposed to suck into the bottle but all it does is either get stuck halfway, break in half or nothing at all.

Suggestions?

Might also try setting the bottle in steaming hot water. Once the bottle is good and hot, take it out, put the matches in, egg on top and place in ice water. That will multiply the suction significantly.

Possibly shattering it as well. :D

She might just have to have her tornado in a bottle as the only demonstration. 2 2liter bottles taped together at the opening with one bottle filled 3/4 with water. Turn upside down and swirl to make the tornado in a bottle.

Are you using a tall neck bottle? Use a short neck bottle, I'd think.

It's a vase so it's hourglass shaped. I really need an old glass milk container, that is ideal from what I've read.

I guess I'll go to a thrift store tomorrow and bring home several different kinds of bottles.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
