An egg is strong enough to hold a car, or was in the 1970’s when it was demonstrated on TV, however the shell loses some property & air can get in.

That sounds like the prank that was going round when I was a kid. Tell someone they wouldn’t be able to break an egg if the curled their full hand around it and applied equal pressure (all sounded very scientific).

CRACK!

ā€œBut you said..!ā€

Cackle…

no, he’s right. But you have to crush the car first :laughing:

what a waste of eggs. My heart bleads. But when boys are playing …

How much weight can an egg hold?

The diameter of a ā€œlargeā€ chicken egg is about 1.75" and the typical shell thickness seems to be around 0.023". Thus, the cross-sectional area of the shell wall is approximately 1/8 sq in, or 8x10-5 m2 which, when combined with the ultimate strength, theoretically will support a 1.4x104 N load (3,000 lbs)!

So there’s pickled and pickled…different strokes for different folks.

but that’s eggS not egg. If you split a lot across a large enough surface area, then of course it works.

It’s like saying ā€œhuman hair can lift a carā€ā€¦ well, yes, if you have enough human hair strands combined…

I tried it, it is pretty tasty. It’s often put into congee.

The eggs were orientated wrongly. But that is a common mistake.
