  • so to get it out I need to set my house on fire

  • Lol, 'burns up the oxygen'. So, the oxygen (02) no longer exists, thus creating a vacuum? Where did it go? Wow, that IS magic. No. The fire is heat, a catalyst, which 'helps' the oxygen to bond to heavy carbon (C), creating heavier CO2 molecules (btw, chemical reaction). The molecules are closer together(denser). THIS causes the internal pressure to be less than external. The external pressure pushes the egg into the bottle (physics).

  • @egomaster12 Apparently, you didn't pay attention very well.

  • @turbowsr I know what I said. When you burn the match and put it inside the bottle, the emissions of the match push all of the oxygen/nitrogen/air compound out of the top of the bottle. Take a chemistry coarse, they teach you about this kind of stuff the first week.

  • @egomaster12 What? "gets out the compound of air"? What do yo mean? Where does the "compound" go? Remember, the bottle is sealed on all sides by glass and the opening by the egg? So these "compounds" magically transport to some parallel universe? I think you need to read your post to yourself about 20 times and think deeply about what you just said.

  • @theRealTrash80 Actually, it's Chemistry. Burning the match gets out the compound of air which is Nitrogen and Oxygen, which leaves the inside as a vacuum. Since air's pressure is 14.7 pounds, the air pressure of 14.7 pounds outside pushes the egg inside because the pressure inside is significantly lower.

  • @couvidan easy, break the bottle.

  • now... take it back out w/o breaking it

  • who began thinking there was something wrong with your screen?

  • @sockschappercat  OK that solves that mystery thanks.

  • @kingtiger59 Fill the bottle with vinegar. After a couple of days the shell will soften, allowing you to take it out.
