SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on creating an egg-carrying device for an egg drop project without using a parachute. Cameron Dude seeks innovative ideas, prompting responses that suggest using household items for cushioning. One specific idea includes binding the egg between two pillows, while others encourage creativity and experimentation with various materials. The emphasis is on developing a unique solution rather than replicating existing suggestions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of physics principles related to impact absorption
  • Familiarity with common household materials for cushioning
  • Creative problem-solving skills
  • Experience with design and prototyping
NEXT STEPS
  • Research impact absorption techniques using soft materials
  • Explore design principles for lightweight structures
  • Investigate the properties of various cushioning materials
  • Experiment with different configurations for egg protection
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and hobbyists involved in engineering projects, particularly those focused on creative design and problem-solving in physics applications.

Dude,
Why don't you tell us *your* ideas.
 
There are PLENTY of ways to do this. I would bind the egg between two pillows as a first idea. Perhaps you could try putting it in a container that's cushioned with a household item?

Don't copy me exactly though. I'm only mentioning things to get you thinking. Like I said, there are many ways to do this. Be creative and have fun with this!
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
