There is also another point to the egg rising itself up in the air: The flat lying egg has a lot more rotational energy because its moment of inertia is way higher, spinning around that axis, than in the upright position. It still needs friction to rise itself in that position, but the reason behind it is a simple minimisation of energy state.

[@jonathanbreedlove4286]

I knew inertia had something to do with it.

[@coltonsmith3724]

Sounds like word salad

[@SedoKai]

It doesn't actually need friction. Over time, a rotating rigid body will always process to its most stable axis of rotation, even in vacuum with no external fields acting on it. As rotational energy is added to the body, quantum effects in the body will increase at a geometric rate, speeding up its procession.

[@seanmackidd7947]

I like this explanation. However I disagree. I think the friction provides enough resistance to redirect the momentum from its perfect line, and the magnetism causes it to over-correct when seeking to return to the least amount of friction. Then opposite magnetic field sends it back even faster, causing it to over correct. This continues until all the molecules that make up the egg experience the magnetism exactly equally from both poles. At this point the egg appears to be standing motionless at absolute zero between the opposing fields.

The ending to the egg story is that after he cracked the egg, the onlookers said "Well, anyone could do that!" To which Columbus said, "They can now, once someone showed them how." The story has been attributed to tons of people, many who lived well before Columbus. The point was that something which might seem easy to you, once you've seen someone else do it, might be exceptionally difficult for someone doing it the first time.

This is how my mom showed me how to tell if an egg I took out of the refrigerator was hard boiled or not (had a messy episode pealing the shell from an egg I thought was boiled). Spin it. If it keeps spinning, it's bouled. If it slows and stops quickly, it's raw.

[@bolwinklemoose1999]

Set a football on the pavement with its ends horizontal and spin it. It will rise up and spin on one end or the other. It's easier than if you try to spin it on one end or the other from the start. Makes a good tailgate beer challenge.

[@NICEFINENEWROBOT]

@@bolwinklemoose1999 Sometimes, especially if you're new to the trick, you don't know whether spinning should be considered fast (boiled egg) or slow (raw egg). But if you spin it, then stop and immediately release it, a cooked egg will remain motionless, while a raw egg will start moving again, just more slowly. That's because the fluid inside hasn't stopped spinning.

I've never heard that Columbus did this with an egg. I've often heard the story that Brunelleschi used this trick to explain how he would build the Duomo in Florence. Vasari gives the whole story. Columbus might have gotten the idea from Brunelleschi.

[@iz0mbie100]

You're right. He's wrong...

[@peterholzer4481]

Well the idiom is "the egg of Columbus", not "the egg of Brunelleschi". The story about Brunelleschi is a few years older than the one about Columbus, so it's likely that the author of the latter cribbed the idea from the author of the former. My guess is that neither Columbus nor Brunelleschi ever used the egg trick, but that doesn't matter. The idiom has entered the English language centuries ago, people know what it means, and whether the story it is based on is true or false is immaterial.

[@danielpalmer643]

@@peterholzer4481 Vasari writes, "It is said that the argument over the egg arose during the meeting in the following way. They wanted Filippo (Brunelleschi) to explain his intentions in detail and to show his model, as they had shown theirs, something that he did not want to do, and he in turn proposed to both foreign and Florentine masters that whoever could stand an egg upright upon a marble slab should execute the dome, since in this way their intelligence would be revealed. Therefore, when Filippo produced an egg, all those masters tried to make it stand upright. Then they asked Filippo to do it, and he graciously took the egg, cracked its bottom on the marble, and made it stand upright." This happened in 1420, but Vasari wrote 100 years later. The story about Columbus was in a 1565 book called 'History of the New World' by Girolamo Benzoni and supposedly happened when Columbus returned to Spain (according to the Wikipedia article, 'Egg of Columbus'). I think that Columbus heard about what Brunelleschi did and copied his idea, but that both stories are true.

It is not friction! It is balance and momentum. The spinning is caused by the Eva’s attempt to succum to pressures from both sides evenly. The ‘friction’ creates enough resistance to make minute changes to the direction of the momentum… as the egg varies from its predictable path, more of its molecules equalize in how they are affected by the opposing forces, and just like a pendulum causes it to over correct and swing past the balance point, where it receives an equal but opposite amount of energy, affecting more of the matter of the egg, at its peak, and providing more energy for it to swing back and over correct further…. This continues until the primary mass of the egg finds the exact ‘0’ balance point between the two forces. The friction just provides enough chaos to create the momentum of the pendulum.

It was not Colubus that had that idea on how to make the egg stand up.

In an assembly of architects, which in 1420 discussed whether it was possible to put a dome on the cathedral in Florence, he is said to have proposed that the architect who could get an egg to stand on top of a marble slab should build the dome. When the others could not make the egg stand, he is said to have struck its pointed end against the plate, so it stood. When the others said that they could have done that too, he replied: "Yes, but you didn't!", adding that they too could have built the dome if they had seen his drawing.

Did you not see the part where he just lied to you and bullshited you? He added energy to make this ball bearing spin, so it is not perpetual motion! It's called bait and switch in the business world. You should thumbs down this video since he lied to everybody,,,,, not compliment him!! Otherwise he'll keep making videos where he's bullshiting everybody. And that's not cool!!! If everybody wanted to watch bullshit videos, we would just turn on CNN and keep voting Democrat child sniffers into office.

"The Hardest Part of making a Perpetual Motion device Is hiding the Batteries (and the motor)" - Elon Musk

[@Lara-vk3wc]

I honestly don't know if Columbus did it as well but the egg story was actually used by Brunelleschi, an architect from the Florence of 1420 that managed to built the highest dome in history on top of Florence's Cathedral (and it still is the highest dome nowadays with a diameter of 45m and 116m height). This story has also been illustrated in many paintings where Brunelleschi asks the other mathematicians and architects, who didn't believe his project was possible, to try and make the egg stand on its end but when he revealed how to do it (in the same way as shown in the video) then the mathematicians started to say that anyone could have done it that way to which he responded "the difference is that you could have done it but I did it, and if you wait for me to show you, then you'll be also able to built the dome"

Thank you for all these unbelievably great videos, just discovered your videos recently but you’re such great at explaining and making it fun to learn. Thank you for this great work keep it up👍

[@vincentdavi3514]

I actually created a prepetual motion clock. I’ll give you some details and see if you can work it out: •Clock; big hand & small hand •Small hand is crooked •Strategically use magnets around the clock and within spots of the face of the clock •Strategically use gravity Once it’s in motion, using a simplistic centripetal type transmission, you can create endless energy.

Are the magnetic poles arranged in that sphere just as two seperate neg/pos hemispheres? Also how would the size of the magnet in correlation with the radius it travels matter? Very intriguing video, thanks for the upload!

[@vinquinn]

It is a simple induction motor. The egg forms the rotor and current is induced in it by the alternating field. This field creates magnetism within the egg. This magnetism will be opposite to the base(stator). The egg now rotates.

[@pranveersingh3662]

Honest question: if I spin an egg in the space, it'll keep spinning because of no friction. Would it be called perpetual motion??

[@greatPretender79]

Please keep the magnetic videos coming!

[@theNimboo]

Lol the frictionless egg was literally rising up anyway right as he cut it ahahahahahah. Totally made a fool of him

[@unfortunateimperial6019]

That's because there's no such thing as a frictionless system in our known universe, there will always be friction acting on movement. The demonstration is correct, if the world was frictionless, it wouldn't rise up.

[@stoneynl]

Even if it is perpetual.. The materials used will wear out over time, thus the construction would be rendered not perpetual eventually..

[@ThePhihn]

It’s a fun thought to create a PEG but in practice it’s near impossible from what I’ve researched, now it may have changed over the years but you’d need to have a lot of things that we currently can’t achieve with our limitations. Still it’s very fun to play around with the idea, awesome video man! Loved your stuff since I first found your channel!

[@sylvrwolflol]

It's not near impossible, it _is_ impossible. If it was possible to create a device which endlessly multiplies the energy put into it, you'd have a bomb that never stops exploding. No matter what you work with, generating energy requires entropy to function and generating limitless energy from the energy put in would require negative entropy, creating a paradox which cannot be overcome. The closest we could ever get is to create something which lasts long enough that we wouldn't live to see it burn out, like the Sun. But rest assured, it _will_ run out.

[@kcbsuiejd]

@@NICEFINENEWROBOT I get where you are coming from, but they dont literally "spin". its just the name we have to them acting like they have angular momentum despite not having it :) for example, you cant extract any energy from it, like you could with an "actually spinning" object

[@Steve-vf7se]

Awesome. You've discovered gravity too. Looks good, cool. I like science, you learn anything. I love NASA, super cool. A egg standing up, I like that. Nice work my friend, I've learned tons of it. What if you create a running man figure, you make it never stop running. Just wish I see more

"I'm not adding any energy," he says 😂

[@orid7596]

perpetual motion is possible without any friction or way to lose energy so this isnt technically perpetual motion although I do think this is quite neat

[@imblank6161]

So is it possible to create perpetual motion in space?

[@douglasharley2440]

lol, but there can never be zero friction or energy loss, so perpetual motion *is impossible.*

[@triberium_]

I guess thats another way of saying its not possible

[@douglasharley2440]

@@imblank6161 space is not empty, on average there are a few molecules/cubic meter, and they are usually moving at very great speeds.

[@orid7596]

@@douglasharley2440 in an absolute vacuum there is no friction, so for example you throw a ball in an absolute vacuum than it would continue forever. But as you said I don't think that there are currently absolute vacuums anywhere (even outer space has a tiny density but still not 0).

I wonder what uses there are for something like this would be if there are any real ways of making use of it.

My grandfather was a brilliant man. His 2 sons were also. My father was smart, but very level headed, his brother was a little on the adventurous side. Grand daddy recognized that so he said most everything is possible, but not perpetual motion. He said that it would drive you crazy to start on that road.

[@pryingeyes1551]

The centripetal force of the balls in a jar is actually how I used to clean my longboard bearings. They'd race around the jar, with their casing staying horizontal, and all surfaces got cleaned without the use of a brush....plus it was a bit fun changing their rate and trying to prevent them from crashing into one another.

[@jlt131]

here's me wondering why your long board has bearings.... i was thinking of a surfboard, not a skateboard >.< haha
