how to make an egg unbreakable?

Probably dipping the egg in liquid nitrogen for a while would make it so hard it would be nearly unbrakable!

egg... cus jut think about it

part of the trick is to have the egg land vertically because it less likely to crack at the ends; if this is not possible, try to stick with conatined (like a box) soft items, such as cloth, rubber, styrofoam (anything plyable) on top w/ support

Multiple boxes with Marshmellows taped on the surfaces - the layers of marshmellows will absorb the impact.\n\nYou make the three boxes, and line Marshmellows on each interior surface\n\n1 Small box, with about a 1/2 inch clearance on all sides. The egg goes in here. Tape a layer of marshmellows on all interior surfaces of the box.\n\n1 medium box - 1/2 inch larger than the small box - another layer of marshmellows on all interior surfaces.\n\n1 Large box - 1/2 inch larger than the medium box - yet another layer of marshmellows on all interior surfaces.\n\nIf you're really unsure, you can even do a 4th box, or stuff loose marshmellows around the egg in the open spaces.\n\nThis method is better than others because:\n1) The egg isn't submerged in any substances\n2) You can get all of the materials very cheaply (1 bag of marshmellows is plenty)\n3) All materials are recyclable

Depends.\n\nTo hard boil it you start it in cold water.  Bring to a boil and let it boil 5 minutes.  Then remove pan from heat and let it set for 20 minutes.  Then dump the hot water.  Cover the egg with ice water.  Let it stand until the egg is cool enough to handle.  Crack the shell and peel the egg. The white will be done and the yolk will be that nice pretty yellow.\n\nTo fry it you need a non-stick pan.  Put just enough oil in the bottom of the pan to cover it about 1/4" deep.  Turn burner temperature to medium.  When the oil is hot, gently place the egg into the oil (You don't want to break the yolk).  Let the egg cook until it reaches the desired doneness.  I like mine over medium.  That means the white is done and the yolk is runny.\n\nScrambled eggs-- Melt butter(about 1/2" Tsp./Egg) in a non-stick skillet on medium heat. Break desired number of eggs into a bowl.  Beat them until they are frothy and a lemony color.  I add about 1 Tbls. of evaporated milk per egg and salt and pepper to taste. Beat again.  Pour the eggs into a non stick skillet.  Cook the eggs stirring gently until they are as done as you want.  \n\nHope this helps.

Several things can happen.  Soaked in vinegar for several hours, the shell becomes pliable from decalcification, allowing you to insert it in a narrow necked bottle.\n\nWhen boiling eggs, adding vinegar to the water will coagulate (denature) the albumin if the eggshell cracks, preventing it from creating egg drop soup.\n\nAnd as vinegar has a higher density than watr, eggs will float more easily, expeially if the eggs are stale.

Idiotic Idea: Spin the eggs. The eggs that spin for a long time, they are the boiled eggs.

You description does not match your question, unless of course the question is a metaphore.  Maybe add some more detail to this question?\n\n\nHard-cooked eggs (eggs cooked in the shell in water) should never be boiled - simmer them in water. If boiled or cooked too long, the protein toughens or becomes rubbery and a greenish or purplish ring forms around the yolk. \n\nTo correctly cook the eggs, place them in a single layer in a pan with enough cold water to cover them completely. Bring the water to a boil, remove from heat, cover tightly with a lid, and allow to remain in the water approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Then place under running, cold water to cool quickly. This way of cooking is also known as "coddling." It does not toughen the whites as boiling does. \n\nSoft-cooked eggs:   3 to 5 minutes \nMedium-cooked eggs:  7 to 8 minutes \nHard-cooked eggs:  approximately 15 to 20 minutes \n\n\nStorage: Hard-cooked eggs in the shell can be refrigerated up to one week. Out of the shell, they should be used immediately.\n\nMicrowave: You cannot hard-cook eggs in a microwave (they'll explode), but if you find after peeling an egg that it is not quite done at the center, pierce it once or twice with a fork, set microwave to medium power and cook the egg for 10 to 20 seconds before checking for doneness.\n\n\nTips: To tell if an egg is hard-cooked or raw, place the egg on its side and spin it evenly on a level surface; if it wobbles, it is raw.\n\n\nHow To Peel Hard-Cooked Eggs Easily: \n\nThis is what I do:\n\nI place the eggs in the pan they were cooked in and add cold water. \n  \n\nI then crack the eggs under water (this seems to help loosen the membrane under the shell). \n  \n\nStart peeling at the larger end, where the air pocket is, and remove the shell under running water to make the shelling easier. You must get a hold of the membrane under the shell when you remove the shell. Very fresh eggs are harder to peel. The fresher the eggs, the more the shell membranes cling tenaciously to the shells.

If you want to "suck up an egg" i.e., one egg at a time, try a canister type vacuum cleaner with a (plastic?) tube(s) for attachments.  Omit the attachments but place a cloth screen (cheese cloth?) in the tube opening taped in place outside the tube.  After reaching into the pallet to get an egg and moving it to where you want to deposit it either shut off the vacuum cleaner or open the slide opening that some tubes have to reduce vacuum or block the discharge for only a moment to release the egg.  Good luck.

First off, cardboard works well if you're looking for low-cost but durable casing.  Use duct tape and make a small container that will hold your egg.  Making a prism (three-sided box) and taping more cardboard on the ends works quite well.\n\nNext you need some kind of padding on the inside, something that will take the shock of the hit but not send it through to the egg itself.  If you can find any of that bubble packing wrap (especially the big kind), that works well.\n\nI've done this twice, and the second time we used rubber bands and tape and made a sling for the egg so it was suspended in all directions inside the box.  You need padding as well, but this helps the egg not to hit the sides.\n\nGood luck :)

Find yourself a box of the correct dimensions.\n\nWrap your egg in bubble wrap--the kind with the bubbles that are about as big as a quarter.  Wrap it in as much as you can use without going over the weight limit.  The egg should be in the center of the bubble wrap.\n\nThe bubblewrap should prevent the egg from breaking.  The key is to get the egg in the center so it has equal bubblewrap around it.\n\nIf you can find a styrafoam box that is 7cm x 7cm x 7cm, that would be the best as it would easily meet your 400cc requirement and no side longer than 20cm!  Plus, styrafoam will absorb shock!

Mythbusters did this using a paper cone weighted at the tip so it fell 'point down'.  \n\nOn impact the cone tip will crush dissipating the energy.  Foam (particularly shredded) or other padding around the egg will stop the egg breaking when the cone falls over after impact.\n\nRemember the point is to dissipate the energy not just stop the egg hitting something hard - simple but effective.

The forces are gravity down  and air drag up.\nIf you want your egg to land softly, one way is to increase its coefficient of drag -- give it a parachute.

Okay, you are all on crack!  The egg comes out semi-soft and eventually hardens!

AMBIGUITY ALREADY!  \nI have learned that to have the white hard and the yolk still runny but warm you PUT THE EGG IN WATER WHICH IS ALREADY BOILING FOR EXACTLY 3 MINUTES...hence the three minute egg and the three minute timers you can buy.  \nBy having a SPECIFIC starting point, IF the 3 minutes is NOT long enough, you can always adjust this, and have only wasted an egg or two.  ALSO, it will matter SLIGHTLY the SIZE of the egg.  \nI do think that there is one little ammendment to this answer though.  You should put the egg (or 2 or 3) in the water when the water is room temperature or fresh from the tap.  You THEN put the pot with eggs and water on the element.  Element is on HIGH.  ONCE THE WATER STARTS TO BOIL, as SOON as you see the water boiling, you start timing and time for 3 minutes removing the eggs IMMEDIATELY after 3 minutes FROM the water.  \nAgain, try this exacting method and if it is not BANG ON for the SPECIFIC EGG SIZE you use, then adjust by about 15 seconds either side of 3 minutes.\nGOOD LUCK

It doesn't say that the egg has to land on the concrete pavement!  Only that it is dropped 5 feet above a concrete pavement!  So I suppose you could have 5 feet of mattresses and lift the egg up about an inch or so and drop it down onto the mattresses, so that it was actually being dropped "5 feet above a concrete pavement without it breaking and without catching it"!\n\nBasically a play on words as this is:\n\nJUMP TABLES: Bet a bunch of friends that you can put three tables together, take your shoes and socks off and jump over them. They'll be anxious to bet that you can't. Take the bet money in hand then proceed to push the three tables together, take off your shoes and socks and jump over the shoes and socks. Then pick up your stuff and run as fast as you can!\n\nOr (with props the below):\n\nI would go with this: "The winning entry used "Rice Krispies" breakfast cereal in sandwich bags to enclose their egg."\n\n"Our technical support dept received the following question about dropping eggs:\n"I have been searching your web pages trying to find out how I can drop a regular raw egg off a roof without it breaking. Years ago I did this in a physics class, but cannot remember what I did. There is nothing in your web pages regarding this. My 7 yr. old grandson and I would like to do it. Could you help ?"\n\nNormally we can only answer questions related to our products, but we felt this question deserved a reply. To get a broad range of replies we asked the readers of our e-mail newsletter for help. \nSome of the answers we received\nGet an egg-eating snake, give it the egg and wait until the egg is about half way down the snake, then fit the snake with tail flights (cf a dart), then drop said snake plus egg from bridge etc.. The front of the snake will act as a crumple zone, thereby protecting the egg (makes a mess of the snake, but that is outside the parameters of the experiment) Then cut open the snake and remove the egg (snake already deceased, so this is no longer an ethical problem)\n\nIts really quite simple- can't imagine how he's forgotten that he dropped it while it was still inside the hen! Just make sure it's not a hen with clipped wings-specially if the roof is high...... \n\nTheory has it that, given sufficient height, aerodynamics will cause the egg to align itself to land on the blunter of the two ends. The egg is remarkably strong in this orientation. As long as it falls onto a reasonably forgiving surface, a lawn maybe, it won't break - sometimes!\nSafer bet is for Grandad to drop a hard boiled one and palm his stunned Grandson a raw one. \n\nI recently dropped an egg from a roof-top and was able to achieve a drop of some 15 metres without the egg breaking. How? The roof was 16 metres from the ground. It was that last metre that always did the damage.\n\nHold the egg carefully in your hands and jump off the roof. \nPut the egg in the middle of a 1 foot square styrene block. \nTake the roof off, sit it on the ground and roll the egg of the edge of the roof next to the ground. \nImmerse the egg in liquid nitrogen first \nFit the egg with a parachute. \n\nIt's really very simple, the clue is to spread all the force during the retardation phase (landing) on the COMPLETE surface of the egg. In this way, the resulting (vector) forces will be zero. In other words: The forces will "become a pressure" instead. And, since the egg may be compared to a pressure vessel (the surface is curved and can thus take really a lot of pressure before breaking) the egg will not break if you put it in strong bottle filled with water before dropping it!\n\nThis is the classical solution to the problem. I have never worked it out myself but it should work as long as the bottle itself is strong enough (do a test by dropping the bottle filled with just water before doing the test in front of an audience).\n\ncenter the egg in a nylon stocking. \nstretch
