Eggs are less likely to crack when dropped on their side, according to science

New York – New York (AP) – More than 200 egg tests – according to the tests, the eggs are less likely to be crack when they fall on their side.

What does it mean for the best way to crack eggs for breakfast Tea? Not too much, since a break in the middle is the best way to figure out gold and cold white.

However, scientists said that it can help with hard-boiled eggs in a vessel: Horizontally the eggs can be less likely to expose a stray crack that can express in a gust of eggs inside the egg, cloudy mess.

It is usually thought that the eggs are the most powerful on their edge – above all, how they are packaged in carton. The thought is to rewrite the energy underneath an egg stress-shaped and soften the influence of the effect.

But when scientists press the eggs on both sides during a contraction test, they crack under the same amount of ball.

“The fun started when we thought we would get one result and then we saw the other,” Hudson Borza da Rocha with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who helped conduct the test.

Researchers also carried the simulations and lay eggs horizontally and vertically up to 0.4 inches (10 millimeters) from three short heights.

The result of the egg? Which are horizontally less cracks.

“The common sense is that the vertical egg is stronger than the egg you put the egg. But they have proven that it is not,” Mark Myers, a scientist with the University of California at the University of California, said the University of California.

Scientists found that the equatorial region of the egg was more flexible and the power of the decline was more absorbed before cracking. The journal Communications Physics was published on Thursday.

Eggs are usually top-downs in the opposite of home-made for egg drop challenges as part of the school stem projects, which partially inspires new research. It is not yet clear whether the new results will help protect these weak eggs, which have been dropped at a much higher height.

Tal Cohen, co-author of the study of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said it could hold a bit of the opposite side of any egg.

Cohen said countless broken eggs “shows the courage to challenge these very common, acceptable ideas.”
