Re: nother egg drop contest
You could possibly use a helium filled balloon as the drag and it would help slow the decent enough so that the impact of hitting the ground wouldn't break the egg. Then fill a cup with house insulation material and put the egg in the middle of the insulation. Then tie the balloon to the cup and bombs away. Make sure u have just enough helium in the balloon so that it just barely drops. The impact of hitting the ground should be close to none.
