See my latest experiments and behind-the-scenes footage!
Can we use eggs to time eggs? In this video, we use Lego to build a totally oversized machine to test this ridiculous concept.
This lego technic machine works sort of like a clock. An escapement mechanism only permits very slow rotation of the gears, creating a ‘tick-tock’ motion and sound. The sound itself is quite satisfying. Powering this mechanism is a belt that’s connected to a basket of eggs. This provides rotational energy via gravity as the eggs pull on the gears. If we set it up juuuust right, we can time the contraption to measure 6 minutes: egg-sactly what we need for a nice boiled egg. Unfortunately, for this machine, that means we need a lot of heigh. And now it takes up half my kitchen!
“But what if I want a hard-boiled egg??”, you say. “And what if I don’t want it to take up my entire kitchen?” Well I’ve got you covered. I also built a smaller version that can time up to 20 minutes on a single charge, allowing us to time anything up to 20 mins!
If you’d like to see more behind the scenes while I build these contraptions, and help me work on them, you can join my channel membership available under the video. I appreciate all the support everyone has given on this channel so far!
