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.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
