How Strong is Eggs?

Just how strong are egg shells? Do we really need to be careful while walking on them?

[@RemiPlu5]

Why did it scare the shit out of me every time the eggs broke

[@SMUPhysics]

That's Science Drama!

[@johnjonjhonjonathanjohnson3559]

because ur chicken

[@lamao3739]

Spoilers 😑

[@SupremeSkeptic]

Next time, let the material in contact with the egg be a soft surface, like foam.

[@SMUPhysics]

Nope. Too hard to clean up afterwards! : )

[@SupremeSkeptic]

I am quite sure the results will be different. But, you are right, I guess it is a hassle having to clean foam pads.

[@qaisaryousaf6657]

You can simply throw them away

[@HeyJuuu]

Do it for science sake

[@atmaillumina]

@@SMUPhysics Then there's no point in testing it lmfao.

[@RByrne]

That's much different from using your hands. The soft surface makes the contact patch much larger, reducing pressure. Using wood or hard material focuses the weight to a tiny point, increasing pressure exponentially. Same way a pin could poke through it with very little effort.

[@SMUPhysics]

Yes? We never mentioned hands?

[@dinesh5147j]

Hey bro i am sorry to tell this. You done a little mistake in this experiment, that's in the ring .You put it to make egg stable. But the ring make force on a short area. So the egg broken fastly .But it's a great experience.

[@parvbhardwaj1997]

By how much would that affect the sustaining capability of the egg?

[@parvbhardwaj1997]

@m7md8D thanks!

[@pluggothesluggo5509]

considering that people who could close a 100lb handgripper can't close an egg, it's kinda a big deal

[@parmeshrana901]

Yes u re right Coz with both my hands I applied a force of at least 15 kgs or even 20 but still the egg did not break. Thank you for the explanation.

[@dinesh5147j]

Mm

[@kartikkadyan99]

Why my heart start pumping quickly when any egg broke??

[@SMUPhysics]

The undeniable thrill of material strength analysis!

[@martiddy]

It would very cool with an full egg carton and a person on top.

[@layal367]

What an interesting video thanks for sharing🙏

[@SMUPhysics]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@gilboston20033]

Make a rubber washer just to keep the egg upward instead of metal.

[@izazahmad2522]

Sir could you explain the theory of failure behind it?

[@michaelpopup]

Thing is, it would pretty much be unbreakable if you had the egg have equal force on both ends

[@SMUPhysics]

Newton's Laws says there are??

[@michaelpopup]

@@SMUPhysics yeah. This experiment wasn't done properly though.

[@franchothings819]

try softer base. like silicones

[@KJ-nm8jh]

Eggs: you can’t break us Table: you are ded now

[@SMUPhysics]

Eggs learned their lesson!

[@giovannimariamontis9107]

belo grazie del video molto utile

[@TheElvisnator]

90% of the people be like = Are eggs*

[@SMUPhysics]

Yeah, the joke title really backfired.

[@akshaykayapak8209]

Wonderful thank u..

[@SMUPhysics]

Thank you too!

[@WHAT_WHO_ARE_YOU]

Very good

[@SMUPhysics]

Thanks

[@nielknox]

How strong are eggs?

[@ucinfo9032]

Keep an egg straight head up in your palm and keep more than 70 kg I'm sure it will not crack

[@andrewragi6771]

If the eggs are perfectly erect then even the elephant could stand on it ... Legend

[@piandiongdanielamarie2839]

Its breaks because only one side has force.. it doesn't breaks in hand because both side had same force..

[@SMUPhysics]

Newton's third law says there's equal forces on both sides. If there was only a force on one side, the egg would accelerate along that direction.

[@mohammednoorulla1860]

Try with country chicken eggs..I guess their shell can withstand more than 8kg in vertical

[@mohammedismail5434]

Why egg broke when it placed side? And why didn't broke up to 8 kg in stand?

[@SMUPhysics]

The egg's ovoid shape is stronger under pressure along its long axis as compared to its shorter axis. It all comes down to the shape.

[@rosejeanvister8070]

He start to smash the eggs this shit

[@anonymouspumpkin2251]

what nationality are you

[@TechnomaniacDude]

Use silicon ring instead of metal

[@Kmmbrostv]

You made a mistake in the title you put how strong is eggs that doesn't make any sense

[@arkpolaris1055]

The title should be "How Strong are Eggs?" Not, how strong is eggs?

[@SMUPhysics]

Nope. Eggs is strong. "Eggs are strong" doesn't sound as funny. (See other comments. The title is intentional)

[@danymeler5939]

U

[@noufalparol]

Do not kept washer top n bottom so egg wl break...instead lf washer use a rigid concave iron mould.. The the egg will withstand double the weight than ur experiment..

[@parmeshrana901]

Not double but about 54 pounds Search on google.

[@girishravindra6774]

Why do I smell eggs

[@kayla-fi9ly]

How strong are eggs

[@SMUPhysics]

They is pretty strong!! (See comment from "life as a potato" below)

[@Far-cw8sh]

Since no one has said it. It should be How strong Are eggs.

[@SMUPhysics]

Yes. You are the first. Absolutely no one has said this in the replies before. Congratulations. You are the mirror that shows the rest of us are fools.

[@jamesandmegan5654]

This would seem a lot more credible with proper grammar in the title. Neat experiment but I honestly thought this was done by small kids based on "how strong IS eggs?" Maybe im old school....

[@SMUPhysics]

We are all the heroes of our own story.

[@LifeAsAPotato]

Are eggs*

[@SMUPhysics]

Yeah, I know. When I uploaded the video, I made the ungrammatical typo and it made me laugh so I kept it.

[@LifeAsAPotato]

lol ok XD

[@kevhalls3182]

How strong 'is' eggs. Shouldn't it be 'are'

[@SMUPhysics]

Grammatically, yes. Absolutely.

[@irplane]

Eggs exist I dont care what some may say.

[@SMUPhysics]

For now, maybe. But eggs are growing too strong.

[@fortjedi3540]

How strong is eggs (eggs?) How strong is a egg

[@SMUPhysics]

Egg is strong? Strong like egg?

[@wiseskeptic8243]

How strong is an egg!

[@SMUPhysics]

Double strong!

[@carsnpyro3484]

19kg is impressive for 4 eggs.

[@SMUPhysics]

Right? It helps explain why something seen as so delicate can be shipped great distances without breaking.

[@MrZwapp]

Its : " How Strong Are Eggs " , Not " Is ". Just saying...

[@SMUPhysics]

I think if you look at the title, you'll see it is actually "How Strong Is Eggs?" (see comments below)

[@leedan8819]

this guy's life is sad af...every single comment is self-defensive and aggressive. get a life

[@Fedico7000]

I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this why the fuck did I recognize them Amogus NO 😭

[@myk4149]

tyler1 is stronger than eggs

[@SMUPhysics]

i've seen tyler1 run away from eggs. eggs are too strong!

[@atmaillumina]

This is a very bad test conducted by an amateur.

[@SMUPhysics]

I'll let the professional egg-strength testers know.

[@ucinfo9032]

Keep an egg straight head up in your palm and keep more than 70 kg I'm sure it will not crack

[@SMUPhysics]

Cool. Tell you what: give it a try and be sure to let me know how that goes for you.
