10 Liquids vs Bouncy Eggs: I Found an "Immortal" Egg! | Egg Science Experiment
Green Egg from Red Cabbage? Magic or Science Experiment!
Have you ever seen a vibrant green fried egg that looks like it's straight out of a sci-fi movie? In today's video on Fusion Lab X, we're doing one of the coolest and most visual DIY science experiments: using boiled red cabbage juice as a natural pH indicator to test common household liquids! Most importantly, we will uncover the truth behind the viral "Real or Fake" green egg photo!
How Does Red Cabbage Reveal pH Secrets?
Red cabbage isn't just a delicious veggie; it contains a magical compound called Anthocyanin. This is a natural pigment that changes color based on the acidic or basic (alkaline) environment it contacts. With just a blended or boiled red cabbage, you instantly have a highly accurate and safe biological pH testing kit.
Mind-Blowing Color Changes in Our Experiment:
In this video, I will drop red cabbage juice into 5 different liquids representing various pH levels to see what chemical reactions occur:
Lemon juice (Strong Acid): Upon contact, the cabbage juice instantly turns bright red or vivid pink. The citric acid alters the molecular structure of the anthocyanin.
White vinegar (Weak Acid): A milder reaction, creating a beautiful soft pink or purplish-red hue.
Filtered water (Neutral): Acting as our baseline (pH 7), the water keeps the original deep purple color of the cabbage intact.
Baking Soda (Weak Base / Alkaline): The magic begins! The purple solution immediately shifts to a stunning blue or teal color.
Toilet bowl cleaner (Strong Base): An explosive reaction! This harsh cleaning chemical forces the purple juice to turn vibrant green, and eventually bright yellow right before our eyes.
The Truth About The Green Egg (The Part You've Been Waiting For!)
The highlight of this video is solving the "Green Egg" mystery. Is it a hoax or scientific truth? I separated an egg white and mixed in a few drops of red cabbage juice. The result? Egg whites are slightly alkaline (pH ranging from 7.6 to 9.2), so they interact with the anthocyanin and turn a brilliant emerald green! When fried in a pan, the proteins coagulate to create a truly bizarre-looking dish.
Safety Warning: The red cabbage egg is completely safe to eat (if you dare!), but NEVER consume or taste any solutions mixed with toilet cleaner or harsh chemicals!

Epic Steel Wool Burning By The Lake at Night! 🔥 wool
Is this ice actually on fire? 🔥
Description:
Spoiler alert: Ice doesn't burn, but what you are seeing is real! 🔥🧊 Welcome to another visual physics experiment by Fusion Lab X.
In this 33-second science short, we tackle a mind-bending illusion by placing highly combustible fine steel wool directly onto a solid 10x20x7cm ice block and igniting it. The result looks exactly like burning ice, but it’s actually a spectacular demonstration of rapid oxidation.
🔬 The Science Explained:
When the steel wool is ignited, the iron reacts violently with oxygen in the air. This highly exothermic chemical reaction creates glowing iron oxide (rust) that can reach scorching temperatures of over 700°C (1300°F).
❄️ Thermodynamics in Action:
Watch closely as the extreme heat meets the frozen 0°C (32°F) surface. Instead of shattering the ice completely, the extreme thermal shock creates localized phase changes—instantly turning solid ice into boiling water and steam where the glowing metal touches. It’s a perfect, real-time look at heat transfer, specific heat capacity, and the latent heat of fusion.
⚠️ Safety Warning:
This combustion and thermal shock demonstration involves extreme heat and flying sparks. It was strictly performed by a trained professional in a fire-safe laboratory environment. Do not attempt to recreate this at home.

What happens to a Neodymium Hedgehog? 🧲🔥
🔥 Can a simple battery create a 1,300°F fire instantly? Welcome to one of the most insanely cool science experiments!
In this 9V battery and steel wool experiment, we demonstrate how a basic short circuit creates a massive exothermic chain reaction. When the battery terminals touch the ultra-thin steel wool, the high electrical resistance instantly turns the electrical energy into extreme heat. The iron reacts with oxygen, creating a mesmerizing and satisfying burning steel wool effect that looks exactly like magic!
Whether you're looking for a genius survival fire starter trick for your next camping trip or just love crazy battery fire tricks that actually work, this is mind-blowing.
⚠️ WARNING: Extreme heat and fire hazard. Do not try this at home without professional safety gear!
