For engineering, we must make a car that looks real, and holds an egg. Must be less then 15 in long and 5 in wide. Must have a front bumper system and look real. Cannot be powered or use a break system. Vehicle must carry un cooked egg. Cannot use food items..you must see 50% of eggs, eggs must be removed 15 seconds after crash.eggs must be vertical in vehicle. no gluing or taping egg in vehicle.
My idea, crumble system with egg suspended with rubber band. car will crush in front... egg will wobble but be ok.
Car will go about 20 mph or something like that into a brick wall.

You must have inside information!

First off, you have a good idea about the crumble system. Basically, let the deformation of the car structure absorb the energy. You will also need some sort of cushion of the egg. Even with the energy absorbtion of the crumple zone, the major danger to the egg (and human's in real cars) is hitting something INSIDE the vehicle.
As side thought. I highly doubt if the "car" will be going 20mph. It would be very hard to keep that light of a car on the ground at that speed for any distance.

dont make a vehicle and just let the egg roll down the 20 ft ramp. i'm pretty sure it will survive. plus, mr. mitchell knows about this and said ur already going to fail this project for posting thiss question.

I have never seen a real car that was 15 inches long and 5 inches wide... so I think it is going to be hard to make a real looking car that size.

cut a car out of polystyriene and make a bumper the fits in out of foam riubber

the best way to do this is probably to eat the egg then you roll down the ramp. it will be fun for everyone.

try using magic to make the egg dissaper and then come back again

give it wings and fly over the brick wall!!
you are an idiot!!!!! Mr. Mitchell is watching you!!!!!

Is this a project ?

YOU HAVE TO PUT FOAM AROUND THE EGG THOGH ..OR ELSE WILL CRACK
