How can you get a model ship out of a glass bottle without breaking it?

Without breaking what?\n\n1) Break the bottle, but not the ship.  Sure.  Get a glass cutter and remove the top of the bottle.\n\n2) Break the ship but not the bottle.  Even easier.  Shake vigorously :)\n\n3) Break neither.  I really doubt it, since the ship is probably glued together.

ADULTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS FOR CLEANING UP BROKEN GLASS THERMOMETERS CONTAINING MERCURY, which is the most frequently encountered mercury spill or release in homes and schools:\n\nKeep children and pets away from the broken glass. \nWear chemically resistant household cleaning gloves.  DO NOT TOUCH anything that might be released from the broken glass that appears bright or shiny silver. \nBe especially alert to the presence of bright and shiny liquid mercury beads, droplets, or small balls that may glide along the surface of most household surfaces when released from broken glass thermometers.   DO NOT TOUCH THE SILVER LIQUID MERCURY BEADS OR DROPLETS WITH YOUR BARE HANDS.  This type of mercury can enter your body by direct contact or accidental ingestion, which is why gloves are recommended.  CHILDREN AND PETS ARE ESPECIALLY ATTRACTED TO THE SHINY LIQUID MERCURY BEADS BECAUSE OF THEIR BRIGHT GLIMMERING APPEARANCE AND THE FACT THAT THE BEADS APPEAR TO GLIDE OVER HARD, SMOOTH SURFACES, SUCH AS PAVED CONRETE, TILED, OR CERAMIC FLOORS. \nA graphic representation of what liquid mercury beads or droplets look like and additional details on what you should do if you have a small mercury spill can be found at the EPA Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response mercury web site,  http://www.epa.gov/mercury/disposal.htm \nIf you see any released mercury, take steps to minimize release of the mercury into a vapor or gas by temporarily turning off any near-by fans and closing near-by heat vents or windows and doors.  After the thermometer’s clean-up is complete, open the doors and increase the ventilation in your home. \nDO NOT USE A VACUUM SWEEPER, BROOM OR OTHER DEVICE TO ATTEMPT REMOVING THE MERCURY.  IT WILL ONLY SPREAD THE MERCURY AND MAKE REMOVAL OF THE MERCURY MORE DIFFICULT. \nIf liquid mercury from the thermometer has been released, clean it up indirectly using a small glass siphon (sucking) system.  For very small amounts that might escape a single household thermometer, a glass medicine eyedropper such as found in a drug store can be used as the siphoning system to suck up the released liquid mercury. If an eyedropper cannot readily be found or purchased, an alternative clean-up system involving transfer of the mercury to a disposable, absorbent material such as soft tissue paper supported by more rigid paper can sometimes be attempted.  (See this EPA link for additional information on materials needed and additional steps at  http://www.epa.gov/mercury/disposal.htm). \nAlthough most escaped liquid mercury forms beads and droplets that can be sucked up using a small glass eyedropper, there may be times when very rough household surfaces, such as carpets, furniture, or clothing, can trap the liquid mercury or make those items appear stained.  When this happens, it is best to remove the material that has become stained and no longer use it.   (See EPA link for additional information and steps.) \nUntil you can properly dispose of the mercury materials, you should temporarily store the broken glass thermometer and any liquid mercury you captured in your glass siphon system in an airtight plastic or glass container to prevent possible mercury gas being released over time. Common household containers with airtight lids and seals (e.g., an empty mayonnaise jar, a canning jar, or enclosed plastic milk bottle) can serve as a temporary holding container for the mercury and broken thermometer.  Choose a container large enough to contain your mercury spill materials. \nLabel the container or jar clearly as “Mercury and broken glass” or “Mercury Waste”.   As an extra security measure, after sealing the lid tightly on the container, you can apply duct tape or plastic mailing/wrapping tape around the lid.  Keep that container in a locked area and out of the reach of your children for a short period of time, until you can dispose of the container properly.  As soon as possible, take the container to a household h

for a model of a ship from the 1400 you can look into any kind of painting from that period showing ships.for building a float-able model you can use polystyrene(the white light stuff used to protect a new TV in her box for example)you take a cube of this and with a sharp cutter carve the form of the ship out of it.then some paint and imagination will do the rest.oh,in order to make it float straight you must make it as symmetrical as possible and add some weight on the lower part.a long nail or screw will do f.e.

If the unmovable object is not unbreakable, it WILL be broken. \nI believe this is an unanswerable question.

I visited Corning Glass at Elmira, NY, home of Steuben Glass.  I believe I learned there (or read it?) that it is easier to make glass by adding sand to molten glass to dissolve the sand than to melt raw sand.  For that reason recycling used glass bottles etc, actually helps the glass industry.  Of course there are many types of glass.  For example, I believe that leaded glass can contain perhaps 40% lead and is crystal clear and easier to etch or cut.  Most common glass is soda glass and can dissolve in water over time.  Antique bottles found in old household dumps are often pitted from groundwater.

This is actually pretty easy.\n1) Take a 2 liter bottle and poke a hole in the cap (with a sharp knife or philips head screwdriver) just a bit smaller than the diameter of a straw.\n\n2) Get a straw and force it through the hole in the lid. The straw should be made out of a fairly strong substance.... perhaps like a curly straw. The curly straws actually have straight sections. If the straight section is at least 3 inches long, it should work to go ahead and cut it. If the straw jams too tightly in the lid, it will obstruct the flow so just cut the hole slightly bigger until you get the right fit. We just want the straw to fit REALLY snug.\n\n3) position the straw so only a small length of it is pointing out the bottom of the cap (the longer portion should be sticking out of the top of the cap acting as a nozzle). Once the straw is placed, you could use a little epoxy or tape just to keep it from coming out.\n\n4) Get a small water balloon. Lower it into the opening of the bottle but DON'T LET IT FALL IN!!!!  While holding the opening of the water balloon above the opening of the bottle (with the rest of the balloon hanging inside the bottle), fill the balloon with vinegar so that it takes up about half the volume of the bottle. Once this is done, tie off the top of the water balloon and let it drop into the bottle. You may want to hold the bottle on it's side so the balloon doesn't smack the bottom of the bottle. Then slowly tip the bottle back up.\n\n5) Now, carefully fill the remaining space in the bottle with baking soda. (we don't want the balloon to pop YET)\n\n6) Put the lid back on the bottle and stick a piece of chewed gum just barely in the outside opening of the straw. This will preserve the baking soda by not letting any excess moisture in while the fire extinguisher is not in use. Make sure that the gum is not in too tightly or too far as we want to be able to remove it quickly.\n\n7) You are done!!!!! To use it just remove the gum and smack the bottle on a hard surface so the balloon breaks inside the bottle. When the balloon breaks, the vinegar and baking soda will mix, react, cause pressure, and the pressure will be released through the straw and in the direction that you point the fire extinguisher  : )\n\nHope this helps\nThanks\nJon

push the cork totally into the bottle and get the coin out.\n\nVote me the best answer! Yeah!

Sure, take a plastic bottle, like an empty coke bottle.  Punch a couple of holes in it, and put in a little piece of cork or styrofoam.  Fill it with real salty water (you'll need a lot of salt!).  Since salt water is heavier than pure water, it will sink, but after awhile the salt water will run out of the holes and fresh water will replace it, and the cork or styrofoam will make it float.  You'll have to experiment with the size of the piece of styrofoam, it needs to be small so it barely makes the bottle float.\n\nGood luck!\n\nAnd make sure your floating piece isn't going to soak up water, or of course it won't work.

Skip the dry cleaning.  That's just unhealthy anyway.  Soak the pieces in baking soda, with hot water.  You can also soak them in vinegar, but not at the same time, since that could cause corrosion.  Make sure one is completely rinsed out before you do the next soak.\n\nIf that still doesn't work (though it should), just tell your friend that these pieces were damaged accidentally and exclude them.  Or  you can just tell her the truth.  She sounds like a good friend who would understand.

Make sure the suction cups are not misshapen.  The out of shape allows air to get into the seal more easily. \n\nIf they are out of shape, clean them with soapy water, rinse them.  Clean the glass.  Have a container of boiling water nearby.  Drip the suction cup briefly.  It will soften it.  Immediately press onto window glass.  Hopefully it will dry and remove the misshape.

just make it out of clay or soap. You can carve it out of soap with a knife.

Use a piece of duct tape and press it over the glass chard. Pull the tape off slowly and the chard will come with it.

A photography studio may be able to help you with that.  They have solution that they put on a photo and loosen it from the glass--hopefully without ruining it.

Wash and rinse with detergent, then rinse with antiseptic.\nAutoclave will melt ur plastic bottle coz steam temperatures are way higher than the melting point of ur plastic bottle.

I did this a long time ago at a science fair.  You need a small glass tube, like a test tube, but not too big.  Put a weight around the opening so it will float with the open end down.  The tricky part is to adjust the weight in the tube to it just floats.  Another way is to adjust how much water is in the tube when it is floating.  Put it in a plastic bottle with enough water to allow for submerging and surfacing.  (They don't like the work "sink" on submarines.)  To make the tube submerge, squeeze the bottle.  This compresses the air inside the tube.  The air takes up less space, provides less floatation and it submerges.  Release the bottle and the tube rises again.  It was acutally a lot of fun when I did it.

find a knife with a thin blade, turn the bottle on it's side, and cut the cork into peices. There's no good way to get it out whole.
