Phil conducts an experiment involving hot water, a flask, and an egg. He fills the flask with hot water, dumps out the water, then plugs the flask with the egg. Phil explains that the egg gets pulled into the flask by the difference in pressure outside and inside the flask. Phil then explains how to get the egg out of the flask: by increasing the pressure inside the flask using his breath.
