Egg Drop - Make: Video Podcast

[agatha0129]

i am doing the egg drop in mrs diazs class and ill probly use the last ones

[Justal0V]

I'm doing this in class! Can't wait to do it! I'm thinking of doing something like the peanut butter, but I'm gonna use something mor dense.

[AsifSaga]

What Song (Tune) is playing at 1:58 Please

[kjellman96]

BALLSHOT IN YO FACE!!!

[TheAubergineninja]

our teacher is making us use a mousetrap instead of an egg. any ideas?

[SOAHCSOAHCSOAHC]

The peanut butter was such a funny idea, I really wanted it to work.

[iDazzle123x]

It's not just velocity though. Isn't this egg drop thingy for free fall, impulse and momentum? :)

[BrickAndBeyond]

Thanks,I had an egg drop at school that was considered a TEST grade,because of you I got an A

[xCWalkBoyx]

EPIICCCC



[vennybabe21]

i reallly wannna know how you made that third the octagon loooking thing! :) it was a really goood video!

[ForeverDanimals]

Oooh..cool :) 

[proudpinoy121]

I wish i can gey an A+

[mobabur94]

finding the force involves more equations which are a lot more simple than the velocity one..

[marilynknotborgir]

i didnt learn a fucking thing in this video...you just wanted to fuck around with eggs and paper aand tape :|

[ERJgirls]

i ate a fruit cup while watching this

[khanvictt]

pause on 0:07 that looks exactly like him

[poopadadoop]

Off a big building? How about the...ISS? :O

[ThatSugaP]

@poopadadoop maybe.... 5 stories??

[eatmycatnotpatato]

i watched this in school so yea we got to drop eggs i came here cuz..............the 2 top comments yea i wish i waz up thier

[Candythehedgehog2]

you wasted my peanutbutter!!!!

[HinataHyugaize]

i make with my class in the scool. but with paper, and gras.

[xhavilor]

LOL his chin looks like a butt!

[nanoman172]

3:12

MYYYY BRAAAAAIIIINNNNN HURRRRRTTTTSSsS!!!!!!!!111!11o­neone!!!

[freerunningmasters99]

wats that stretchy material on the third one???????????

[catherine93am]

@freerunningmasters99 Panty hose!

[pleaseoceancloud]

what is the song at 1:55? Sound like Rachel's

[miamoe123]

this is a project for my school i need help for finding a design

[sailboat910]

@miamoe123 try motor oil or syrup, its thick and will absorb the inpact

[Nicholaslolz]

i need an A because i have no ideas and im going to use the wheel one. Also i hope they drop it right

[MattBeckman1]

i hope this works i need this A in school

[THISNAMEOWNS]

i fail to understand why Momentum = Force * Time could be complicated

[TheBeatlesluvdaisy]

how did you make that wheel one? that one looks cool

[FoxTheZombieSlayer]

oh man... i was hoping the peanut butter one would work haha

[HellOhPanDuhh]

Great video ! :)

[megabrontes123]

whay about a plastic bag parachute

[treesonfire118]

fuck the physics lesson 3:59

[crazydude903]

i need help with mines cause i cant use certain things for some reason to make it more of a challenge, darn it. :(

[Omnigeek6]

I once built an egg-drop contraption similar to the one at 2:25. It was a drinking straw tetrahedron with the egg suspended by rubber bands on a cotton ball cushion.

It was meant to use a parachute to stabilize it and prevent it from falling over. However, due to winds, it still landed on its side, breaking the egg. I've been wanting to try it again someday.

[TheBeatlesluvdaisy]

@Omnigeek6 how do you make it?

[Omnigeek6]

@TheBeatlesluvdaisy

The main structure was made up of 6 non-bendy drinking straws in a tetrahedron shape, connected at the ends by tape. One side was designated as the "base" and one vertex as the "top". Midway up each of the three "base to top" sides, a rubber band was anchored with tape. These were connected to a flat sheet made of cotton balls glued together. The egg rested on top of this sheet of cotton balls. The parachute was made of a plastic bag connected to the "top"

[Omnigeek6]

@Omnigeek6

However, the device had no measure to cope with a sideways landing. Due to winds, it tipped over on landing and the egg was ejected. It hit the pavement and was destroyed. Future designs will be designed to land on any side, but may or may not still include a parachute.

[TheBeatlesluvdaisy]

@TheBeatlesluvdaisy oh ok thats 

[jnbalmer448]

does anyone think an egg with that exact same peanut butter idea (place an egg in a jar of peanut butter) would survive off a 6.3 meter (21 feet) fall?

[blueberrybeachbum]

try puting the egg in between two bowls with icing in them it works really well... messy but effective

[avik747]

@almondherring Was the challenge just an egg drop or an egg THROW? Coz we had to do the same thing, and my physics teacher f***ing spun the contraption off the roof!!!

[Yoda0909]

p = mp, keep in mind that the trip down to the floor is more important than impact.

[RakonKido]

get one of those toy soldiers with a parachute and attach it to the egg

[crafty25936]

@RakonKido they never work

[Bowser246]

You know what is a great simple egg drop idea. A jar of mayo. The jar doesn't break as easy as the peanut butter jar, so i think it would hold, unlike the jar in this video.

[sherretb]

Great video.

Need a squared on the Vo at 3:04. This doesnt affect the outcome as it cancels but for use in other places; dont forget to square the initial velocity.

[almondherring]

THAT'S SO CHEAP. In my high school physics class we have to drop the eggs from a similar height, with NO parachutes, balloons, or cushioning whatsoever, and this must be done with 45-55 grams of material and without taping or enclosing the egg in any way (i.e. if we turn the mechanism upside down, the egg falls out). And it's all because the FIVE-year-old daughter of my physics teacher managed to think of all those ideas. You don't need to take physics to think of the stuff shown here.

[MrJabberzz]

@almondherring SO the egg would fall out if it spun in midair? That's not quite effective, though I like the challenge. My class is doing it right now and I'm rather sick of the same repetitive ideas like the ones in this video.

[almondherring]

@MrJabberzz It would fall out if spun about a horizontal axis, but not if spun about a vertical axis (which is what I did).

So the idea was that we had to figure out how to stabilize our "egg vehicle"... to make it more challenging, as well as to prevent a mess from being made, which annoyed the janitors in previous years.

[adiGNR]

@almondherring lol do u go to Monta Vista HS? im a senior doing this shit in physics H right now....

[almondherring]

@adiGNR Yeah? Good luck. 8D

I'm a junior in AP Physics right now.

[yunalee22]

@almondherring Birdsong? LOL

[almondherring]

@yunalee22 Yeah! >8D

[SOAHCSOAHCSOAHC]

@almondherring Okay, I have to confess to a little confusion. No cushioning? That reads as if you have to put the egg into a rigid container. How can you prevent the egg from breaking without cushioning it?

[almondherring]

@SOAHCSOAHCSOAHC There are lots of ways of slowing the egg down. We weren't allowed to use parachutes, but we were allowed to build things that made it spin. That way, a lot of the energy the egg has in the beginning (gravitational potential energy) turns into rotational kinetic energy instead of downward... er... linear kinetic energy... (I don't know if that's the proper term for it, but yeah).

I made a propeller, and the thing floated down so slowly~~ it was awesome. :]

[SOAHCSOAHCSOAHC]

@almondherring I'd love to see your and some of the other ideas people came up with to fit those criteria! Were there any pictures or videos?

[whycry2012]

yooo he sounds like Craig off of Emperor's New Groove (cartoon) =] teehee.

ps. thanks for the video! i have a AP Physics project to do with it

[SlayerR6V]

it should be -14 m/s. velocity is not just speed, but also direction so you need the negative there to show it's moving downwards to the earth.

[almondherring]

@SlayerR6V Unless down is positive and up is negative (though I guess they should have specified that if it were the case). :D

[skyd1varz]

thanks for the help LOL i gotta do this for my "EGG DROP LAB" and hopefully the peanut packaging experiment will work haha...

[dylankunaikennedy123]

notice the egg painting behind them

[globe606]

you know whats sad,the broad has the wrong equation even though her error is neglectable because the initial velocity is zero. its really Vf^2=Vo^2+2a(dleta x)

[CuteColly]

@globe606 NERD

[MrJakeSG]

@CuteColly Your watching science videos, get used to it retard.

[000haker]

i had to do 1 for 4th grade. now im in 7th and now i find this vid :P

[Thewemoth]

OMG!!

What is the name of that ssongg!!

I really want the name!!

Please Pm me!!

[Rockinvampire123]

Im doing this project right now in my physics class, we and only use tooth picks and glue but it cant wiegh mor then 40 grams. Mine totally sucks lol

[lolmanlolify]

Haha Im gonna do a wheel in a box thats 10 centimeters. Oh, and It has to be 500 grams :(

[Ikpojagg]

Where are all the projects

[Ikpojagg]

Damm I had a fairly good one then it it hit the ground and I guess ut was ok then they tree it back to me because I dropped it too early and they smashed it into the wall 2 times then it broke. Now I have to do another one. Mmm need to get dome materias asap

[punkerjoe]

maaan i wish i wouldve had this a couple months ago when i had to do this for school lol

[gimmieatwinkey]

sweet vid i won my egg drop with the weel

[8chubby]

oh, i wanted the peanut butter to work.

[1GOGETTER15]

did the peanutbutter realy work?????? we are doing this in my science class but it has to fit in a shoe box if you hae any ideas please help.

[Xrapdon628]

this is fucking gay

[falling333]

wait isn't the fastest something can go down 9.8 m/s2 fail physics wise

[z3125]

@falling333

for someone with falling in their name you sure don't understand it.

[eminem197795]

@falling333 9.8 m/s2 is the acceleration due to gravity or under free fall. The initial force you use to throw it adds something extra. Or an initial velocity.

And I think you have acceleration due to gravity and velocity of light "c" mixed up. No particle that has been discovered or invented so far can travel faster than 300000000 meters/sec.

[aaliyahcomeback]

its project time and this is our nxt project! thnx 4 da help

[qwertyESquirt]

laughing so hard when the egg smashes in the peanut butter w/ the music in the background

[ChadMuskaKIllit]

Gotta make one of these for a school project. 3 story building. Help?

[eminem197795]

@ChadMuskaKIllit Put it in a goddam bible.

[ianiscool707]

@ChadMuskaKIllit i got a box and put hella crumpled plastic bags and it worked for me

[willistennis55]

how about making one where you cant use: cotton balls, quilt batting, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, foam rubber products (Nerf), polystyrene products, food products, insulation products, diapers, rolls of toilet paper (tubes may be used), stuffed animals, pillows, feathers, no liquids, shaving cream, Gak or gaklike products, balloons, non-newtonian liquids, or nylon stockings (or anything close to it) and it has to fit within a 25cm cubed box... anything?

[penguinsauce87]

@willistennis55 parachute/helicopter contraption would be your best bet my friend.

[willistennis55]

@penguinsauce87 oh yea, i forgot to add, no wings and no air resistance items... and i built one last week. it was made out of straws. a cube consisting of straws with strings to tie a box of straws to hold the egg together and suspended in the middle of the cube.

[broadwaybound128]

i like the egg painting in the back :D

[killer321432]

yo thanks, i used the box idea and the only diffrence was insted of paking peanuts i put the egg in a jello contaner. and only put it in a small box and it worked, i tryed it a few times and i was chucking it off my 12 story appartment building.

[XaviersSecretary]

"Helloe... I'm Bre Pettisss....."

[emmaandmelanie]

totally creeeeeeeeeeepppppppppppyyyyyy­yyyy such a freak!!!

[almostnormalxx]

what's the material he uses for the octagon-looking one? sticks and what else?

[stiffy96]

can u make a egg protctor less the 20g

[stinkyhamster111]

lol the bread!

[Zerrith]

She's cute.

[tito936]

Wow you guys are ungrateful haters!!

This actually helped to get an idea of how

to do an egg drop experiment.

If you have nothing good to say then keep it to yourself!!

[cdson96]

wicha goofy ass

[bpallitto]

this video sucks monkey ass!!!!!!

[Muleskin0017]

wow, thats pointless crap. i could have ate that sandwitch

[kendesivideos]

@Muleskin0017 lol

[melodythebunny]

fuck you we made our own and it worked

[TheHitmanSF]

the problem is that we are not dropping to a grass..

we dropping it to a tar road...

[jowowzers]

she's cute!

[ARTAthletix]

No air resistance is not a factor in a vacuum

[ARTAthletix]

No their saying that drag is not a factor in a vacuum also called air resistance

[ajwalters12]

this dude sounds like a rapist

[yomama3608]

OMG!!! on tuesday we had a egg drop project at school and our groups project lasted til the last round=)....our project was a baby shoe box filled with AIR filled water balloons and we super glued cotten balls on the egg then wrapped it in bubble wrap

[karemsauce]

"pretend we're in a vacuum" - 2:58 ... so no more gravity Bre?

[munsking]

so you're saying that gravity simply stops working in a vacuum?

[Stratplayer05]

Did anybody realize how he said "avoid staying OUT of the target zone," wouldn't that mean staying In the target zone?

[mams66]

we have to drop it from the 2nd story of our school

i can only use, tin foil, straws, toothpicks, and paper cups

it may not weigh over 17 grams

no tape or glue

any ideas?? its due tuesday..

[Gumpa2]

we had such a contest in our class

our team cheated: we made his bowl harder by putting it into glue a few times and waited that it is dry so we made this again and again

[brunomcrispim]

but inside the egg you still have no protection, right?

[vasilacheandrei]

i just had to make such a experiment in psiho. class :D damn team made a piece of crap :| didnt listen to my idea :( a pyramid and stick the egg in the middle :D wouldnt that be perfect ?;x we had a plastic glass 10 straws and duck tape :)

[MexhomieXlll]

how do i make one witout using packagin material and no food!!

NAAC HIGH 936

[beekan37]

i have that project!

[danbyrd0001]

My school is having an egg drop experiment to. Thanx for the ideas

[koolieyopeace812]

- this is his daughter im on his account mwhahha :)

[thebestred1]

i have to make one at school.i need some tips:(

[willbuddy21]

wat i did was wrap a bunch of paper towels over cotten and put them in a box, egg with its on special bed make sure paper towls go on side! its INDISTRUCTIBLE

[stinkyhamster111]

@thebestred1 take a bunch of twinkies and tape 3-5 of them to the egg on all sides

it works!

[Brian567899]

@thebestred1 I had to do one i took a semi small cardboard box and filled it with popcorn and wrapped the egg in paper towls. So easy.

[crafty25936]

@thebestred1 y a sad face, i would smile

[ConverseAreHot]

@thebestred1 aggred, 

[cookie1525100]

wow i guess i can try this at school next week

[sk8rsrule5566]

wow. my school is having us do an egg drop exparament and i think ill try some of your ideas. thanks =]

[jzlACoSTE]

STOCKING

[haleconner]

scary math!!!!!

[JamesHardingVideos]

"there are alot of equations to figuring out..." 3:26

Grammar fail! :-)

[shavwey2]

i have to do one for physics..it cant be more than 6 in. around and our teacher is goin to step on it to see if our structure is hard enough and then throw it down from the top of the football stands...so maybe the peanut butter one will work for me lol

[blakeredekopp]

pur some marshmallows on thi e inside of the peanut butter for more protection. than eat it.

[italianstacheman]

could you explain how to make the third structure?

please and thank you!

[espon1260]

one time i did this this and the egg exploded and killed the teacher it was so weird

[shard315]

yep...

[dude6751]

i remember this in 6th grade

this guy puts an egg on a balloon and asked the teacher to drop it

then mine was disqualified

lol good times

[willhlrussell]

i have to make one but is has to be inside the area of 10 by 10 by 10cm. what could i do

[burp7ugh]

wth is the point of this ?

[Thamnophissirtalis]

I wonder if a non newtonian fluid like corn starch and water would work?

[jconeon]

Neat ideas, little dark to see the actual impacts though. My son did this in 3rd grade - he used a very lightweight "tupperware" container filled with cherry Jello, lid taped shut, then put it into a small cardboard box surrounded with packaging peanuts - and when they took them inside to investigate-what-la, he not only had a tasty snack, it was yolk free. His design worked GREAT - 1 of 4 that survived in a class of 24. Not too shabby!

[501stlegioncommander]

um i think the penut butter dident work. maybe you should use duct tape and tape the lid on and then duct tape a bunch of paper towels around the container for more cushioning.

[misterbuckethead]

peanut butter works. so does cat litter.

[gamerocker90]

i did penut butter and it did not break!!

[visitor103]

thanks buddy

[kpnolan52]

the calculations r retarded lol

[crazy91111]

You are Retarded those are actual equations for velocity. A simple high school physics class and half a brain will tell you that.

[TyLeRcOlLiNs4]

what was the stuff the egg was in the popsicle sticks one

[peskasker]

id hit it

[camerawn]

LOL White guy calls upon Asian to explain the physics.

[lukowstudios]

lol, i think u need glasses, she's not asian... XD

PS: I'm just kidding around nottrying to be mean or anything, but it's true...

[pokerface3699]

lol the peanut butter

[whatwhat60]

my teacher told me about this video

[endre1]

just want to let you know, that the one who made the calculations is a fuckin idiot

[Tyncidog]

we have to use only news paper and 3 ft of tape

[chellsndpaulawashere]

I have a project like this but all the things ur doing it like against the rules

[caiteric121]

I'm just wondering who composed the music for this video and 1:59-2:08.

[Drumermaniac]

-"well what about the force of impact when the egg hits the ground, can we messure that?

-"well you can, but the equasion would be realy complicated..."

Ohh, like the one with velocity wasn't?

[nintendonerdgoodbad2]

i have egg drops but nothing around it lol SPLAT!

[hungrycelery]

what's the music that plays at around 1:59?

[crackme50]

i did this in school. my group and i had to make it. we made the egg roger. when we dropped it died. so when we were going to throw it away my group was sad cuz roger died and then we were going to pray for it and then bam! my friend comes and takes it out of my hand and just crushes the egg and makes it worse. poor roger.

[KBTwinProduction]

lol, thats awsome

[theminkisonfire]

AHHH i have to do this but with two eggs and in a contraption less then 10 x 10 x 10 cm! and at least half a pound and no packaging or peanut butter but i can use cloth etc...

[jskizz808]

Awesome. Now I know what to do if I have to make sure eggs.. don't... break when I drop them...

[Daisyxpie]

*sigh* I love eggs.

[aznperson07]

what material did you use for the wheel contraption?

[levirio]

I believe those are popsicle sticks.

[midnightbluemoon]

they were straws

[aznperson07]

oh...

well that's probably why mine failed. i used sticks which aren't flexible... i still got a B on teh project

[Trav1ar]

My contribution to society is that I won the egg drop competition in high school AP physics using a single piece of printer paper and one 3in piece of scotch tape

[neelradhakrishnan]

How far was it dropped/how?
