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.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
