Creating a Contraption to Protect a Raw Egg from Impact

[ccb056]

Physics Project :D

okays, for physics I've got to devise a contraption which will protect a raw egg from ing while dropping 3 stories.

the devices must fit through a 1sqr foot rectangle, it does not have any maximum height, it cannot use packaging material or food/peanut butter/jello/gell

any ideas?

1. Get a small cardboard box
2. Put lots of cottonballs in box
3. Put egg in plastic bag and tie well
4. Attach parachute type device to box
5. Put egg/plastic bag into box
6. Seal with duct tape
7 Test.

assuming one side is double of the adjacent sides, say one side is a, and the adjacent side is 2a, your maximum... or minimum height for the box must be 1 in order for your surface area to be 1.
