I just discovered this forum googling help for newbies. And I'm so glad I found it.
I'm trying to get some hands on experience in electronics, and this seams to be the right place for that.
I'm currently working on the egg project.
This is my first project ever so I was thinking of making something simple.
Unfortunately, I got stuck.
Idea was to make something like this:

one egg glows if you turn on the switch,
and the other glows if you move it close to the first glowing egg.
I figured out the principle behind it.
I have a coil in each egg and use inductive coupling to transfer energy to the 2nd egg.
According to wikipedia this can be easily done by making two LC circuits resonate.
but I have no idea hot to do it in practice.

Is this ok for the second egg? I'm not certain I can just connect LED like that?
And I don't even know how to start on the first one. Do I need some kind of oscillator for it, aside from the battery and switch?
What should I keep in mind to avoid explosion?
hope you have some advises.
