Help - Egg Lander Project |
Hi, for physics class we have to build landers (designed to hold an
egg). They have to be pretty light and able to keep the egg safe even
when dropped on any side and by a height of 4 or so feet. The device
has to withstand being dropped on a hard flat surface and also on a
ramp (and not roll).
Any suggestions on material, shape, etc. would be very helpful!
Thanks.

Why does an egg break? Disperse the cause in time and space and it
won't break. Not rolling on the ramp is a nice touch. Angelfood
cake. Egg inside, rat trap goo outside. Test on your sister.

Try mayonnaise or better yet, leave it in the chicken--then you can get
extra credit by dropping from 25 feet. ;-)
