What is the best container that when dropped from a window will not break the egg?

A plastic jar stuffed with cotton. The plastic of the jar will absorb a lot of the shock of falling, because plastics are somewhat elastic. The cotton will absorb enough of the rest so that very little impulse is transmitted to the shell of the egg, and it won't break. If you're not allowed to use a jar stuffed with cotton, the best alternative is a container that has a parachute attached, so that it is falling very slowly when it hits the ground.

To keep the shock from breaking the egg you need a container that will not allow the egg to break (stuffed completely full with some packing material) or the container needs to absorb the shock. Popcorn (without the butter makes less of a mess) is a good packing material because is cushions the egg but the kernels can break apart a little to absorb the shock of the fall.
Good luck.

A field suspended by way of rubber bands related to a cord physique. think of of a bicycle wheel, each and each spoke helps the wheel from all angles, yet to your egg it will must be supported 3 dimensionally all factors.

I used a container filled with bubblewrap. Worked very well.
