Rocketboom: Make Magazine Egg Drop

[TheDylanOrtega]

thats one cool ecuation

[jakublange]

skip to 3:43 to the action

[cayet17]

thumbs up if you hate the equations. :D

[a4azn]

you look like the guy from american pie 6, beta house

[s0nnyburnett]

Hard to find the force? You find the acceleration and the mass of the object is already known. Find the acceleration with your basic kinematics equations. Apply Newton's second law and find the force. What art school did you dig this physicist out of?

[ThundyHD]

i only wanted to see if the eggs broke or not hha

[aznofjapan]

keep pressing 8 and 5 haha :)

[jrigvd]

keep on pressing 1 LOL:)

[hiperboloide]

In the first expression of 2:43, the initial velocity should be squared too. In this case does not matter at all because its value is zero.

[drcaos]

@hiperboloide Yes, I was checking that the coefs are not consistent

[561inurface]

we have a competition at our schools engineering club every year its basicly the same consept the only thig is is that we judge by weight so only the popsicle stick design "might" have a chance.... the lightest design was 150-200 grams.... so.... try some other ideas lol

[speedster1101]

@561inurface we did it in 3rd through5th grade

[561inurface]

@speedster1101 lol 9-12th for us

[speedster1101]

@561inurface mine worked but i checked on the egg and dropped it

[llollercoaster]

What exactly is the affiliation between Rocketboom and Make magazine.

As far as I can tell Rocketboom just steals their content...

[Omarspartan209]

U probably should of mAde a design that involved the two ends of the egg because those are the strongest part of the egg.

[mathew1929]

JERK ! Everyday i talk about peanut butter. I guess thats y i dont have any friends. Anyways JERK!!!!!

[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?

[DiesesedCow]

do i care about math? no

[turtleking9999]

PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUNNNNNNS

[moseley2007]

peanut butter and eggs never really mixed anyways, moving on...

[BRUCEOOCAMBELL]

BAD

[ozzykid169]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! YOU KILLED THE PEANUT BUTTER YOU BASTARD!!!!!1111

[joefos7]

i did this i made a mini paracute it worked very well but i also wraped it in toliet paper i won the contest

[bigdestroyingrobot]

omg i did this in my summer camp last year!

For #1 my nature counselor did that!

For #2 i did something like that- i used popcorn(food) in bag 1 and in the second bag (bigger than first) i put lost of cushioning stuff- and it worked!!

[FutureInventions]

We did this in summer camp! It was so fun! I suspended the egg in a plastic bag and bubble wrap and let it float in a half-filled 2liter bottle. The water is supposed to turn the impact into wave which the egg will simply ride on. It worked :^D

[politis1989]

2:55 you forgot the wind resistance....

[MrBlokGuy]

@politis1989 @2:37 ...

[filipsaric1]

4:04 fail

[stevenredwards]

.. but after all that discussion about the complicated mathematics involving velocity in a vacuum, the big-ass cardboard box floats and glides on air, quite slowly... and, in theory, the peanut-butter could work by constraining the boundaries of the eggshell, if the jar didn't break. ...

[conielo]

peanut butter jelly fail

[Elephantintheroom01]

Maybe it'd work if you left the top off.

[beriorgar]

should have used a plastic jar

[bryantsanchez1]

4:11 and 4:11

[nickmaytum]

did egg died?

[bombbarders88]

they through it in th stick one in the grass and the peanut butter on the concrete

[ApplesAreLethal]

@bombbarders88 You mean they threw the Popsicle stick one on the grass, and the peanut butter jar one on to the concrete?

[xXfreakbotXx]

All the math made it lame >.>

[HBBodySurfer]

i put mine in a triangular box... because "theoretically" a triangle is the strongest shape due to the three points it has... see if the egg is in there say with packing bubbles and i drop it from ten meters then when it hits the ground one of the points wil absorb all the impact and distibute it through the others points

[Dalemoooooon]

isnt a sphere "theoretically" the strongest shape due to the pressure being distributed equally?

[nuclearbananaphone]

@Dalemoooooon Yeah, but an egg is actually an ovoid not a perfect sphere. Which means that some spots can take less than others. Also, eggs have very thin shells. lol

[Dalemoooooon]

@nuclearbananaphone that was a reply to HBBodySurfer, he said that "theoretically", a triangle is the strongest shape, which is completely untrue

[shashoni109]

@Dalemoooooon A (hemi)sphere is.

[shashoni109]

@nuclearbananaphone But the eggs contain calcium, which makes them that much stronger.

[masterofpuppetsman]

SPLAT!!!!!!!!!!

[spermwhalesoncrack]

hahahaha!!! thats so funny!! i'm gonna send an egg to some unknown place in a hot air ballooon!! hopefully there will be hungry people there waiting to eat it...

[ismokethestuff]

omg u kiled the baby birds

[ratchetandjasper]

4:10 hahahahhahahhah

[ForrestE95]

I did this in 7th grade and i put the egg in a box of packing peanuts and then put that in a cone of paper with the point down becuase theoreticly the point absorbs the impact. and then just to be safe we put a trash bag as a parachute. It passed. :)

[aloo020]

what was used for that hexagon thing, was it some sort of cloth

[paparaka]

stockings I presume

[caqtv]

I did this at school with only two sheets of A4 paper and a few pieces of tape. We ended up with a giant spliff, but it worked.

[Aang1]

I did that in 8th grade. I made a complex system of dowel rods, cotton, and a balloon inside another balloon.........it failed :(

[mkdray224]

in Middle school, we did this and i made a parachute out of plastic bags, and it worked

[RyanOfTexas]

We did this in junior high physical science class. the winner used a toilet paper tube with stabilizer wings (like an upside down rocket) and fixed a balloon filled with sand at the nose of the tube. the sand was by far the most efficient form of energy displacement that day. good video! took me back to the olden days.

[lmfcwao]

on the one where the egg is suspended in the octagon couldnt u make the base side a square to make it into a ball later to get rid of the need for keeping it on plane

[EmotionToilet]

It's so hot when girls do math. Huge turn on for me!

[jangheer]

C OO L  :D

[RCScubadiver]

SPLAT!! :) lol

[NSantoro704]

wtf is with the cement padding,you don't want peanut puter on the floor, fag!

[1995tylerterry1995]

they dont fucking work!!

[1172marcop]

this is fuken stupid so wat r u going to do put all of your eggs that are in your egg basket in seperate boxes

[llxVxll]

Its a Physics experiment you asshole.

[Armagedn12]

Yeah, we're doing this as a project/competition in one of my classes at school. My team's using Great Stuff expanding foam to protect ours...

[Shizuka6288]

wow 1172marcop Settle the fuck down. Its just a bit o physics

[youutubestinks]

well let's get the point of our civilizations has develop the fact about the science and knowledge is only for some few cause the people are more manipulable the more ignorant they are... so... why did you put equations non understandable for the normal n common people and situations with nonsense but for the nasa PhD's :S thar frustrates the rest of us

[pittmeister]

wtf are you saying

[Soupy21]

what? you didn't take physics in high school? every physics class does this experiment.

as for the equation, its pretty basic...

[13ishy]

You sir, are an idiot.

[llxVxll]

You are an idiot dude, it doesnt take a genius to understand the equation. if you really think that you need a PHD to understand it, then you are the dumbest person on planet Earth.

[omgomg21092109]

wat the hell

[fatfuck755]

i dont get it

[omgomg21092109]

i think its a prototyp[e for people in lyke cars or somthing

IDK

[dduunngg]

aahaha victorious music

[eyeballus]

WOOT! I finally get to devirginize a comment free Rocketboom vid!....Should prolly say something meaningful....Haha, figures the peanut butter one was the only one to fail;ironic
