If at first you don’t succeed … Fry, fry again
The Oatman sidewalk egg fry. Cook your eggs, using the sun.
The egg fry began at high noon, with temperatures coming in at 105 degrees at the start of the event, slightly cooler than organizers and contestants would have liked. The spectators, though, were appreciative.
Perhaps the most innovative – and certainly most effective – method of frying eggs on Saturday was that of Eric Schmidt and Xinaxiao Chou from Cibola, Ariz. Using a Frensel lens to intensify the heat, Schmidt was able to cook a perfect – and edible – sunny-side up egg in about 60 seconds.
(Some strange physics commentary, though, about sequestering Carbon.)
(note to self: bring Fresnel lens on vacation …)
Well, Eric here…. that’s interesting…. I news reporter got it wrong…. Dr. Xina XiaoChou came up with a way to sequester carbon out of green house gases “C02″ and using here knowledge about polymer chemistry is able to transform this into the polycarbonate sheet that made up our Fresnel lense that actually did the egg frying. ” hope this clears things up”
Sorry about the typos…. ” The news reporter got it wrong…..” and ” CO2″ and using her knowledge about….. I’m tired….
