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.
Yep. It ain't magic when you know how it's done.
Columbus was a rascal. He ate dog meat from the tribals.

Lmao that got me too!
@@taragnor And the question is always "how do they work?"
They actually showed us the egg trick in cooking classes in school. That way you could tell if your hard boiled egg was done. If it was still liquid, it wouldn't stand up.
You should tap it hard enough on the table so the shell breaks a little bit. 😂
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
I knew inertia had something to do with it.
Sounds like word salad
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.
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.
@@SedoKaiisn't the surface of the flask an external force? I understand the aerodynamic reason for it standing up, and the reason if its on a 'flask' in a vacuum. ( I think)
Reminds me of those magnetic "pills" that I used in chem lab to stir certain liquids. :)
a magnetic stir bar?
@@liamramsay2264 Not quite sure what they call them, but that sounds about right. Put the beaker on top of a rotating magnetic field, drop in a stick-shaped piece of metal (which I believe was plastic-coated), and watch it mix.
Pretty sure it's a stir rod, you place it in a liquid or something you want to mix, put it on a magnetic plate made for it, turn it on then it spins
oh yeah the stir bars, we have those in my school lab.
You just invented a new kitchen appliance nobody needs. Brilliant!
I was about to through all my understanding of physics out the window until I realized he just used electromagnetic forces to do it
The egg turned upright not because of friction but because any unrestrained spinning object will spin about its principal axis of inertia. This would also happen with no friction if it was spun fast enough that the torque generated was enough to overcome the force of gravity.
There's no such thing as a frictionless surface. The less friction there is, the more speed is required. Still requires friction.
@@kronosx7 the frictionless surface is called space and this effect can be shown there
@@DheRadman isn’t that not a surface tho /gen Like not disagreeing but isn’t a void not a surface 😭
@@random1744 you're right it's not really a surface, but the only reason we're talking about surfaces here is because you need to place objects on something else while on earth. In space, that restriction isn't there so space itself can serve as the location where something is 'placed'.

I love these things. I have a miniature top that is basically a brushless motor (magnet in the top_. As the pole passes near the coil it induces current to a transistor which switches on and then adds a tiny bit of power to the coil in the correct polarity for the pole (N/S) which is near the coil. The device is very small and consists of a coil, a 9v battery and a transistor. The battery easily will spin the top for days since it only requires power, and only when the top is near the coil. The top spins in a shallow parabolic dish. electronic are all hidden under the dish.
That would probably be neat to have a series of 2 millimeter cups stacked on each other, like Petrie dishes, many layers each containing a bearing.
I accidentally created a perpetual motion machine once. My cousin took a Vyvanse out of a buddy's prescription that he left in my room, thinking it was tylenol because it was blue and white, kind of how tylenol is blue and red.. then he went to the ping pong table that had a wall to bounce it back to yourself, and did that for a few hours.

I initially thought it was something about the ball bearing having very little friction
I mean, it would work better in a vacuum chamber.
I thought the ball bearing was going to have something else inside, like liquid or a smaller ball with a smaller ball in that. Just kind of reminded me of spherical dice, for some reason.
@@ranehan7726 yeah, but they already have a low enough friction that they would spin for a while
Actually, when he holds the jar in his hand the ball isn't isolated. The small tremor of his hand (we all have that), or the small movements of his hand due to his heart beat can, depending on frequency, pump (or extract) energy into (from) the spinning ball. With a little practice you can do this creating the illusion the ball moves forever on its own.

Understanding spin in macro size shapes is useful for understanding fundamental particles at the quantum level. Keep doing it. Did you like how I put a positive spin on that?
I almost laughed
What if you did that with a symmetrical shape, would it still stand on end? If it's an egg shape then isn't the fatter bottom that has something to do with it standing on its end? I mean, maybe not but that's what I assumed when watching it.
as long as the mass above the flat surface isn't asymmetrical, because then it would lead too a tilting effect, or if it had too much weigh pinned on too point. Yes its possible but there are also so many other variables determining whether or not that egg, or what ever other shape you have stays up. Good question though!

3:50 The boxes are awesome. If you have a young child interested in science, these do the trick! I ordered the first box (vacuum), and the syringe (for creating a vacuum) was broken, so we couldn't use it. I ordered it for my nephews, on Thanksgiving day. It really was disappointing, but in the end it was my fault for not opening the package and inspecting beforehand. I tried numerous times to get ahold of them to get a new syringe, being a newly released product, and during the holidays it took 2 months before I received the new syringe. Satisfied with the situation, I was certainly surprised when I received, months later, the second box (self pouring fluid) as well! I might be a little biased, but I was still satisfied with my original situation being resolved, and the second box to me shows it's a quality company, and product!

@FullMetal This one was not true though.
Do you know what perpetual motion is?
I was going to say the same thing! I'm upset he didn't use the word 'Angular Momentum' or did he, IDK, whatever that is, well less confusing then entropy!
Now if only he would take the output energy and feed that back to the input, it would be free energy.
I hate it. I’ll be watching something, see the thumbnail and title, say “that’s not possible”, know that whatever is in the title will probably happen, then have to watch the video 😂 normally as part of the “one more video” routine
Not only from but moment of moment is also playing role in raising the egg , so it spin on its major axis, with low system energy
It is less about friction and more about the radial symmetry of the egg and inertia. When laying down, the symmetry is not balanced, yet while it is upright, the radial symmetry is perfectly circular. Equilibrium, or we can identify it as efficiency, is always sought, and the upright position satisfies it best.
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👍
Honestly my favorite science/experimentation channel on youtube. Super fun to watch every time.
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!
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.
The laws of thermodynamics haven't been updated recently that i know of
Its impossible, not nearly impossible.

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

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!
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.
"I'm not adding any energy," he says 😂
love this video. However i argue with "counterintuitively" when you say "more friction makes it rise" because.. friction on a moving object causes pull in the other direction. since it's spinning the pull would be constantly to the center (or the outside depending on your point of view) as the object spinning tries to reduce friction/reach equilibrium
Love that the oily egg was just about to lift up
This man and his work must be protected at all costs

Supposedly there’s a solid theory of being able to use the gravitational pull of a black hole for a p motion device. But on such a massive that scale it’s I wonder if a PMotion device would even be usable or relevant, or if we could just harness energy more effectively. Always blows my mind how all complex life ( as we know it) is produced by a fraction of the suns energy.
Isn't that as much a perpetual motion machine as the ISS or any of our satellites? They're always accelerating due to the earth's gravity but it's not really possible to harness energy from it
@@iCarus_A They aren't constantly accelerating they're simply going so fast that the gravitational pull of the earth can't pull then down faster than the earth curves away from them. Also it's not perpetual motion because you have to dodge space debris.
@@Corzappy Constant speed doesn't necessarily mean no acceleration. A change in direction counts as acceleration too. So while the magnitude of their velocities remains (roughly) the same, they're constantly accelerating towards the Earth

Perpetual motion is akin to the speed of light. The closer you get to it, the harder it is. If you had a contraption that was 99.99999999999999999% perpetual motion, it would still be useless (other than as a sideshow gizmo) as any torque applied would act as a brake

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"
