Introduction: How to Scramble Eggs Inside Their Shell - NEW VERSION

About: I like turning boring things into awesome things! Usually on video.

In preparation for Easter this year I decided to improve on one of my classic projects: how to scramble an egg inside it's shell. In a video I made several years ago I demonstrate how scrambling an egg can be done by spinning it quickly inside of a shirt sleeve. This new method requires a much smaller amount of physical effort to achieve the same result, and bonus: It can scramble 3 eggs at once!

The scrambling device I use is an 8" long section of 2" diameter PVC pipe. The rope is thin nylon (you want to be sure it's strong enough not to break on you!) and the handle is a short ~4" section of 1/2" diameter PVC pipe.

Assembly is simple: Drill two opposing holes on each side of the 8" length of pipe, then feed a length of rope through to form each loop. Before tying one of the two loops, slide the 4" length of 1/2" diameter pipe over one end. That's it! I find that square knots work well to tie the ropes together to close each loop.
