Classic Science - Quail Egg Pushed into the Bottle

Buy video

In this modern recreation of the classic Science demonstration 'Egg into the bottle trick' - a small quail egg is used instead.
With some awesome music and text which appears on the left, this footage has great potential.
Possible Text, appearing and disappearing as video progresses:
Some methylated spirits vapour and a squirt of oxygen.
Ignited by a candle.
Woosh!
Put a quail egg on top.......
Most people think they know how the egg goes onto the bottle.
Most people are wrong.
Most people say the air cools down on the inside of the bottle, and the egg is sucked in. WRONG WRONG WRONG!
Yes, the air cools in the bottle which reduces the inside pressure - the outside air pressure PUSHES the egg in.
But ALSO, water vapour (steam) on the inside of the bottle which was produced by the combustion of the methylated spirits, cools, and condenses, forming a vacuum, dramatically reducing the pressure on the inside of the bottle.
In fact this is what causes the power stroke in a steam engine, steam condenses, producing a vacuum, and outside air pressure gives an almight PUSH.
Video created and produced bu Jacob Strickling, maker of the popular YouTube Channel 'Make Science Fun'
