Abstract: The apparatus provides for evacuation of the egg yoke and egg white from an egg through one hole in the egg shell. An egg with one hole in the egg shell is positioned on the apparatus. The one hole in the egg shell is positioned over a hollow tube which extends into the egg. The hollow tube aligns an egg collection opening in an egg seal with the egg collection passageway and supplies air at atmospheric pressure into the egg. When the interior of a bottle has a pressure below atmospheric pressure from a vacuum cleaner the egg yoke and egg white flow into the bottle. In a second embodiment, the apparatus provides for both evacuation and flushing of an egg.

Abstract: The apparatus includes a tube for inserting into an egg having one hole in the shell. The tube extends into the shell through the egg yoke and egg white until one end contacts the inside surface of the shell opposite the hole. The tube is connected to a squeeze bulb air supply. A chute is positioned below the hole around the tube. When the squeeze bulb is squeezed air is supplied to exit the one end inside the shell. The air causes the content of the egg yoke and egg white to flow out the hole around the tube into the chute. In the alternative embodiment the end of the tube is formed with an air relief to facilitate air flow into the shell when the end of the tube is in contact with the inside surface of the shell. The empty egg shell is then used for "Egg Art".

Abstract: ZrO.sub.2 -base heating elements have been of interest for use in oxidizing atmospheres above 1600.degree. C for a great many years, i.e. since it was shown that ZrO.sub.2 could be used as a resistance heater. Many groups have used, with limited success, ZrO.sub.2 -base elements for laboratory use, but to date no company has produced an element satisfactory for production and industrial use.I have developed a ZrO.sub.2 -base element which shows adequate usefulness to be produced in quantity and used in industry for satisfactory lifetimes relative to the other elements used at high temperatures.
