Re: please help me! its an egg drop contest
I love the cone method it works if you do it right, just make sure it falls Nose down.
Here are my tips, [*]You don't need a parachute!!! It's a waste of materials and usualy doesn't have enough space to form and be affective. At least in my experinces, and I've done about 20 full drops (with egg).
[*]Make sure you have as many compressable materials as you can, they absorb energy, and thats what you want! Arefin's crubled bits of paper method is perfect for your solution. Use as much left over tape as you can to crumble up too.
[*]Do what ever you can to create a shape that will take the impact well
[*]Don't have a rigid structure!!! It'll absorb less energy
well have fun, thats what they are there for
