In #MESExperiments 39 I redo Viktor Schauberger's rising egg experiment but this time using an electric drill instead of manually stirring the water. This experiment confirms my earlier one, this time the plastic egg with the broad side up rose 21% faster and fell 24% slower than the ping pong ball. Note that the falling rate was similar to the 25% in the previous experiment, while the previous experiment the plastic egg with the broad side up rose 33% faster than the ping pong ball. The manual stirring in the previous experiment provided greater rotation speed of the water since all the objects rose faster in that experiment, thus likely also the affecting the percentage difference in rising rates. Nonetheless this further confirms Viktor Schauberger's experiment, and an egg shape with the broad side up rises faster in a water vortex than a spherical ping pong ball. Note that the ball and egg were filled with salt water (saline solution) so that they both have the same buoyancy.
