well i'll be damned.

i though that the white powder formed on top was Pot Nitrate...and it is....i weighed it - and it was only 13g - meaning 27g of nitrate was dry, IN the egg mixture.

It DOES BURN - you have to get it pretty hot, but it does go, and leaves some residue, presumibly that from the fat of the yolk.

On that note, it'd work better if i removed the yolk - as the "dried" subject is the kinda like leather, dry, but flexible rather than brittle.


FANTASTIC, stand by for a youtube video of a burning egg.

I cannot stop laughing at this, a burning egg who would have thought that was ever possible ha ha. Well this has gotta be the weirdest thing ive ever heard, good work dude u deserve the right to be the king of the egg's.

Try a burning almond now. Or better yet, cinnamon - that cinnamaldehyde will react like crazy.

when looking for calorie count why not try burning a fat like lard. surly if this could be oxidized to release all it stored energy in an instant it would be quite energetic.

that reminds me I have yet to try charcoaling fried chips. For anyone interested lol I have got an onion peel to burn though it burns with a weird white vibrational type flame.

Having worked with long chain fatty acids already I can tell you that it will do just what you think.

i had been woundering being with the amount of energy there is, am i assuming it would come under a certain banned subject and i shouldnt ask any more questions on it, lol.

If you feed chickens beetroot you get red yolks, so whatever you feed your chucks comes out in the egg. The chemistry is endless.

I would suggest cracking the egg, and separating the yolk. The white is essentially the fuel for the growing chick before they get sterilized. From there you can dry out the white. You might be able to denature the protein, and dry it as a solid too. From there it might be possible to nitrate the solids. You can do a similar thing with caesin from milk, but I won't go into that.

[wjames]

I thought the white was mainly protein??? and the yolk contained the fats ???

I will try that some time though
