Spinning Egg Sprinkler

Have you ever wanted to do science experiments at home?  Here is one that involves a hard boiled egg.  Watch the video on the egg sprinkler and explain why the milk rises up the egg and sprinkles out at the equator of the egg.  Tell me what kind of experiments you have done at home and discuss with one anther the cool science that you can do at home.

    Since there is hole in the middle of the egg, the milk enters the egg, and a suction forms, like in a whirlpool, therefore making the milk stream out at the equator.

  2. The milk sprinkles off the equator because it is spinning at rate that it is able to pick the milk or put down enough pressure that it rises and begins to come of the equator.
    Have you ever put baking soda and vinegar in a bottle and then put a balloon on top? I did that with my sister and dad once. My sister had came home and told us all about it and my dad suggested we try it and we had a lot of fun.

      What happens after you put the balloon on top? And do you have to do any further steps? Does the balloon inflate?

  3. The milk rises up the side of the egg because of friction the milk has to move with egg.

    The milk rises up the egg because friction causes it to rise because the spinning motion causes a whirl pool. We have made mentos and soda geysers.

  5. The milk rises up on the side of the egg because it is spinning so fast it can cause the milk to rise up the sides and then spray off in a circular pattern.

    The milk rises up the side to the equator because you don't have as fast velocity at the bottom as you do at the tequator. None of us have done any real experiments at home but, it would be defiantly be cool to do something like this at home.

  7. Fluid from the milk squirts from the sides.Speaking of which,I had a mini science lab at home that I used to play with such as a 3-test tube stand & making slime.-Dominic Deutsch

  8. it rises becuse of the friction of the egg and the friction of the liquid are rubbing together.

    The milk spins with the egg and rises.

  10. The milk spins with the egg and rises b/c friction of the liquid are rubbing together.

    yes,because it runs up the sides of the egg and it spins and it can eather glop and run off or sprikle off.

  12. Mrs.Dietrich,
    Yes,because I want to see how cool it is to see stuff explode and stuff.The egg spins and rises with the milk because the friction.

    @Taylor H. i agree With You because you put most of what I said And You kinda worded your answer a little wrong I think.

  13. Ms.Dietrich,
    It rises because of the friction between the egg milk.They also found out that when you use different liquids different shapes come out when the egg is spinning.A experiment I did at home is mixing baking soda and vinagar together to make a volcano.

    Yes, both Hannah and I have wanted to do science experiments at home. As the egg spins faster and faster the milk rises. A science experiment I have done at home was in 6th grade that we tried at school and I wanted to show my mom was mixing vinegar and baking soda and making it explode. I cant remember what else we did to make it explode or bubble. Hannah has made ice crystals.
