Hard Science's video: Walk on Eggs Like a Boss - Hard Science

WATCH OUTTAKES HERE: http://testtube.com/hardscienceextras/eggwalk-bsides?utm_source=YTdesc&utm_medium=HS&utm_campaign=HSBS3 Eggs, bare feet and... surprise chickens? Watch as Anthony and Tara go head to head and race across a gauntlet of eggs! Experiment Tips: • Position eggs pointy side up • Place feet evenly across eggs to distribute weight • Walk slowly and add obstacles/distractions to increase difficulty Calcium Carbonate http://www.princeton.edu/~achaney/tmve/wiki100k/docs/Calcium_carbonate.html "A chemical compound with the chemical formula CaCO3. It is a common substance found in rock in all parts of the world, and is the main component of shells of marine organisms,snails, pearls, and eggshells." Science of the Arch http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am/v6/n3/eggshells "When a heavy weight presses down on an arch or dome, the force moves uniformly down the sides toward the base. The lack of angles or corners means that no one spot must handle the whole load. So hens can sit on their eggs with the arched end pointed up because the weight gets distributed evenly. The same is true when your hands push on the ends." Egg Strength http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_6KydWxyqE "An individual egg can withstand about 30-40 pounds of pressure." Join Anthony Carboni and Tara Long as they turn the world around them into a giant science experiment. New episodes every Wednesday!
