How can you drop a raw egg onto a concrete floor?

Question

answer-Concrete floors are very hard to crack!

Answer 1

I doubt the egg will hurt the concrete.

Answer 2

- The egg must be raw, and will be provided by the professor (which means the container needs to be able to open, to insert the egg).
- the container will be dropped from a third floor balcony, onto hard concrete.
- The egg must survive the fall without cracking, but the container can break (if it breaks, it should break by design and ideally something "interesting" or "pretty" should result from the breakage).
- No wings, helium balloons or parachutes may be used.
- Any materials can be used and the container can be as elaborate or as simple as we wish.
- The container must be functional as well as aesthetic and it will recieve a grade for each aspect.


So far, my plans and research have led me to the idea of making a sort of egg-within-an-egg design...building outwards from a hardboiled egg, making a series of ever-larger papier-mache egg shapes, each larger than the last...and then filling the hollow area between each "shell" with some sort of impact-absorbant material. I was thinking of maybe pudding, or jello, or popped popcorn...one website said peanut butter was good for cushioning the egg, maybe using that for the innermost egg? I've heard that bubble wrap is actually very bad for this sort of assignment, but that the green foam used for arranging artificial flowers is very good. I'm currently planning to make the papier-mache without any wire frame, and cut all the eggs open at the middle, and use tape to close them before the big drop.

Answer 3

Just drop the raw egg just after the fresh concrete was poured. As long as there aren't big stones or aggregate in there, it'll likely nestle right in without breaking!

Answer 4

If you are talking about dropping it so it doesn't break, you can either drop it in freshly poured concrete, or put the egg in a water balloon full of water and drop it.

Answer 5

You can hold it in your hand, open your grip on the egg and it will fall to the floor. You can throw it in the air and not catch it ,in turn it will fall to the floor. You should look up the definition of the word gravity,that will give you some in-site of how things react to things that tend to fall.

Answer 6

LoL Love your question and my answer to that's no you could no longer crack the floor. I in simple terms tried it myself and it does no longer provide an oz. yet that replaced into me falling off the platform the washer & dryer sit down on interior the storage. slightly greater than an egg. LOL.

Answer 7

Hold it in your hand and let go. It will drop...and break.
