6 Dangerous Ways to Cook an Egg

In this video I explore some crazy ways to cook an egg, and kind of go into the science behind it. Plus, its a great excuse to break out the flamethrower! Making a squirt gun flamethrower is very dangerous.
I get a lot of emails asking advice on building a flamethrower: I can't stop you from doing it, so I will give you real advice below......

If you play with fire you will get burned, and expect/plan for the worst to happen - The gun catches fire and sprays you with flaming liquid. Squirt guns already leak with water, and will eventually 100% catch on fire when using it as a flamethrower. When this happens, calmly assess the situation. Is the tip on fire? Blow it out. Is the whole gun on fire? Put it down. Are you on fire? Don't sue me.

PS. Don't expect the flamethrower to last more than a couple hours. It's kind of a one time thing. Whatever liquid you use besides water will dissolve any lubrication in the gun, and corrode seals and o-rings.

hey guys backyard scientists here
watching me today is I try to connect
six different crazy ways from playing
thurs to acid high voltage to molten
aluminum
stay tuned and find out the first idea
that I had was to use a Fresnel lens
this is nothing more than a giant
magnifying glass it can focus the sun's
energy into a single spot of more than
2,000 degrees didn't quite cook the egg
and more instantly chart a hole straight
through it
next I wanted to see if I could fry the
egg with high voltage is this microwave
oven transformer to apply over 3,000
volts straight through the center of the
egg
I thought this would definitely be
enough to cook it instead the egg almost
well instantly blew up
shattered
yeah
all right next i tried to use the
extremely high temperature plasma is
generated from this arc
you know what else is made of plasma the
surface of the freaking sign if that's
not hot enough to cook an egg
I don't know what is unfortunately I
couldn't cook the egg like this time to
break out the big guns
all right if the eggs can survive a
flamethrower
I don't know how I'm going to get this
job done this is just a ten-dollar
flamethrower I built or remodeled squirt
gun and some gasoline
now I give these eggs the old one two
three four five and six well the point
is I shot these eggs a lot with a
flamethrower
I don't see how anything could survive
that and for now
it couldn't believe it not even a
flamethrower would cook these eggs
well I had a couple more tricks up my
sleeve next I use the same microwave
oven transformer but I rewound it for
high current this works out the same
principle as your toaster
it forced an extremely high amount of
current through a small wire turning
your red-hot and generating heat now I
put this wire through the center of an
egg i plugged it in hoping to cook the
egg from the inside out
unfortunately i would call this a
failure because the egg boiled out of
the two holes i put in it and it only
cooked a small channel through the
center of the egg and the smell was
terrible
all right next on the list is
hydrochloric acid and this acid is so
strong it can dissolve a rock
now mind you this is the same acid
that's inside your stomach now I drop an
egg into this acid and we'll see what
happens next
this acid is so strong that it dissolves
the shell straight off the egg 24 hours
later in this egg is well literally
cooked in this sense that you're
denaturing the protein not cooked in the
sense that it's edible
but anyway it's still so acidic that
it's dissolving the rock that it's on
the sulfuric acid egg not cooked
don't know I all right time to break out
the foundry melt some aluminum
I think my subscribers know where this
is going i'm going to try to cook an egg
on top of molten aluminum here I melting
it and here in pouring it into a frying
pan and above the frank and there's a
mechanism so when I pull this cup big
falls out right into the molten aluminum
all right now he quickly run back and I
pull this string releasing the egg into
the molten aluminum and success my
little invention worked
all right well initially the egg is
protected by the leading frost effect
but it is quickly overcome by the heat
of the molten aluminum and start smoking
frying catching on fire and everything
else in between I don't know about you
but I would not eat this egg
even though it is well done however I do
know a little somebody who would eat
this egg but I'm not gonna let him eat
it either nice try dude
alright guys well thanks for watching my
video please subscribe if you haven't
already check back in the future for
more videos and leave any ideas in the
comments section
I'll get back to you thanks
