PCV piping and teetering back and forth trails for 12 feet will take the raw egg safely to the bottom.

Easy using a card board egg crate cut out the holder so that the top and bottom of the egg are coverd. Then building spiral card board shock absorbers place them around. This whole lot must fit in a box. Seal and try. I did it from a 3 story building. It worked once I had placed the spiral shock absorbers correctly. Good luck my friend.

Okay. This is about materials and their qualities. So think of a material that would be a good shock absorber for an egg. You need to be thinking of keeping the egg steady as it lands and correct padding to take the force.

Hi
My son just did this in school. We used a plastic bowl and jello. We tied a string around the egg and fastened it to a stick so it is is in the middle of the bowl. Then we topped the bowl up with jello. Put in fridge to set.If they make you take it out of the bowl I would put duct tape around it.
