Egg Drop Project

By: Joseph Gomes

Problem At Hand

The main problem was figuring out how to make a

container that can save an egg from a 20ft drop. If

it cracked you did not complete the task. But if it

survived you have accomplished what you had to

do!

Initial Ideas For The Egg Container

● Parachute

● Have edges sticking out to create drag during

the fall

● A box with a lot of pieces sticking out of it so it

absorbs impact.

● AND FINALLY, my actual box which is just a

plain old box.

My Container

I went for the weight factor for my

project. I tried to make it as light as

possible but very durable at the same

time. I thought keeping two boxes tightly

packed might create some impact

protection and keep the egg inside from

moving. Ultimately decreasing the

chance for the egg to break.

Did It Work!?

Well… No. Unfortunately my box did not work. Probably

due to the lack of cardboard around the egg. Keeping in

mind since I went for the weight factor i lacked in an

abundance of cardboard in my design. WE’LL GET EM

NEXT TIME!

Improvements That Could’ve Been Made

Making the the container much more durable! Actually using

glue tape etc to make the box so an egg will actually survive a

fall. And somehow making a way that the box will take all the hit

and the egg wont move at all inside.
