I'm a second year computer science student. You are absolutely amazing. The explanations are made so easy even a layman can understand the basics of energy and kinematics. You way of explaining rocks.
Hey Mark, I just had an egg drop challenge today and I used the "straw man" method and I won! I immediately thought of your video when I heard egg drop challenge, thank you so much Mark!
The competition I did as a kid had an "only supplied materials from any one of these bins", and "has to fit in this box" (which was like 4x4x4; insanely small) for a second floor drop onto pavement. Wrapped the egg in thread, then thin cloth, then yarn, then progressively softer materials, before lining the box with low density foam. slowed the moment of impact so it worked like a charm.
This reminded me if a challenge my school had last year, where we had fo mail a pringle to our superintendent, without it getting damaged, while using the least weight and mass, and so that theoretically, it would be edible upon delivery. Me and my friend ended up modifying a ziplock to the shape of the pringle, cut a dozen egg carton down to a third of the size, (4 eggs) and then creating a platform within the carton for the pringle to rest. We decided against a lot of packing peanuts and what not due to concern that rather than compressing like with an egg, it would just break the chip. We forgot about it until the last day of school when our gifted coordinator handed us the certificate saying that we won. I just found it interesting that 60% if our time in class for work was planning, and that taught me that engineering required a lot of work, but is seriously fun. Personally I hope I get to do more challenges like that and the egg drop in the future.
I will so do that if I ever do any of these assignments in the future. if its not against the rules of course, I just hope no one else asks the teacher if we can use drones because then they will say no.
Do what I did 25 years ago....Procrastinate until the night before, then realize you have to get it done, realize there is left over pizza in the fridge, finish the pizza, wrap the smallest egg you have (smaller egg, slightly thicker shell) in paper towels, stick in the box and take it to the the roof and see if it made that drope. It did. Take it the next morning. Every kid will think you brought pizza for them. Mine was the only one that made it from the top of the stadium intact. It floated down. I got a 140 with extra credit since I used aerodynamics rather than cushioning.
I remember doing this back in elementary school! If I recall correctly, I put my egg in a box with packing peanuts and then put a water balloon on the bottom of the box. The fact that the balloon was filled with water would weight it down so it wouldn't turn around, and it would help cushion it like an airbag, I figured. Also, I was an elementary schooler, and for our competition we got to go up on the roof of the school and drop our eggs off, and I basically just thought it would be awesome to drop a water balloon off the roof of the school and the egg thing was a great excuse to do just that. :D I did indeed drop my water balloon creation off the school, and the balloon burst gloriously, and it was wonderful! Haha, I was such a mischievous little child. Second cool story about that contest: my mom told me before the competition that if I got my egg to survive, we could use it to make a cake together, and I was so excited about baking a cake with it that I was extra-determined to get my egg to make it. I made the mechanism described above, and it actually worked. Once I was back down off the roof, I ran and opened up my box, and there sat my egg, unscathed. I was so excited and happy, I held the egg up over my head and began to run around with it, like, "my egg survived! My egg survived!" But, though I did not yet know the word 'hubris', it was a relevant one. During my victorious promenade, I tripped on a crack in the sidewalk and fell, skinning my knees and smashing my now-unprotected egg to pieces. My egg could survive the fall from the school, but it could not survive my pride. My mom and I made a cake together anyways, though, but it would've been cooler to use an egg that had fallen from my school's roof atop a water balloon. Well, I should've known what they say about pride and falls.
In my school we had a competition to throw something out the window that would take the longest time to fall. I just went with a piece of A4 paper and won ;D
The problem is school science is based on memorizing useless facts that u forget right after the test. School science doesn't so u how to apply this stuff to real life.
Lol in school, i was lazy and forgot the make my egg contraption.. so last minute I ran into the bathroom grabbed a little box, put some paper towel in and stuck the egg in the middle.. it worked.. the teacher was mad because he could clearly see I gave zero fucks about the project.
Idk why people get so mad over 10 minute vids cause these guys gotta make a living it's not there fault they gotta make it 10 minutes just to make money.
When I did this in middle school, I cut a hole in a sponge and put the egg in. Put a big sponge on either side of the hole and taped it together. Easy peasy.
Nah.. i think its cuz you already knew it.. if you watch this video without learning from your teacher (or at least you watch this at 5th grade) i dont think you would understand what he is talking about
Dude if I could I'd save all your vids so that I could share it with my kids when they're old enough to understand that SCIENCE ROCKS! =] PS: Not referring to geology.
before seeing this video, I have been in two egg drop comps. one for school, one at a fair. at the school one, I used an RC plane... kids thought it was unfair, and I was kinda an unpopular nerd, so got disqualified. at the fair one, used a similar straw method, but somebody won with an rc plane. I kinda got really annoyed.
+karina johnson good idea about the cat, but I wonder if you could avoid the cat and paint several layers of superglue over the shell. With an egg on a cat's back, you may be able to drop the cat and have it land on its feet, but you'll never see the egg again once the cat hits the ground.
When I did this I filled a carboard box with packing material and added a parachute. The chute didn't work but the egg landed safely thanks to the packing material
I absolutely love what this man does. He makes simple learning so simple. Even to people like me, who has a hard time understanding even the most simple things in math and science. It’s awesome and I really appreciate him and what he does. I will definitely be showing my friends his channel.
I really did not understand what you were saying at first but then you went over it with words and examples we all understand making me instantly understand, Amazing work! keep up the wonderful content
Especially since this is produced in an interesting manor. Lets be honest, most kids don't want to sit infront of a book listening to people drone on and on about the practice and concept of these things; they want to see these things first hand!
I've done this project a few times, and my favorite design (purely because of its uniqueness) was grabbing a big computer box, sliding the egg inside a pair of pantyhose, and stretching it from one side of the box to the other. The drag of the box slowed it down somewhat, but when it would land the egg would just oscillate inside without every hitting anything, until eventually the friction would ease it to a stop.
JKay5phD I did pretty much the same thing, but I used a condom. I wanted something stretchy but strong and that was the best option. Worked great, too.
More like Mark’s son: hey dad, my teacher says that my class is going to be doing an egg drop- *mark comes out with a box of supplies* Mark: Say no more son, my time has come
ಠ_ಠ I am still in middle school, eighth grade. Our elementary school in America holds kindergarten to fifth grade, middle school is sixth to eighth, and highschool ninth to twelveth.
I remember we did this at a summer camp and we had to throw it over a wall, I put mine in a box and taped it up so much you'd have to stab the box just to start the cutting process, so when mine landed everyone was like "I heard it crack" but I just said "the egg is neither dead, nor alive. And it is both alive and dead at the same time" #SchrödingersEgg Then when they cut it open I blamed the person cutting the box and said "He stabbed my egg, I want a redo".
I actually asked my physics teacher if schrodingers law would apply and he said since it is both broken and unbroken then it is still broken and doesn't count.
Your telling me that no-one noticed he had a son from all the photos in the background and him literally being in the video until he released the video yesterday. I feel amazed
I’m doing an egg drop project in my science class this week. And this is everything we’re learning. Thank you for a quick explanation of this. If you could respond that would be great. Thank you!
Now I do know that if you can’t use paper and sticky things, then use popcorn in a plastic bag or something is the best option. Tho all depends on the impact hopefully the egg won’t hit the ground first- other then that thanks Mark Rober you just got me and my partner a 100% on our project! 😎
my teacher used you as an example of great ideas, I used something similar to one of your ideas and It got me 1st place out of my ENTIRE SCHOOL. that was a great day lmao
I remember when I was seven we did this. Everyone in my class made tiny parachutes, while I just surrounded it with a lot of tissue paper. My egg was the only one that didn't crack
Exactly! The tissue paper is like your airbag. I made a big parachute, and a resealable bag airbag. It survived. We could reign as the egg drop masters.
My school has a point system. The less points you have the better. Straws: 0 points Tape: 0 points String: 0 points A cotton ball: 1 points Balloon: 1 points Cups: 2 points Parachute: 5 points Anything from home: 10 points each stack. I did the straw man method and got 0 points, people thought I hacked the egg and modified it.
In 8th grade we just got a box and poked some holes in it, and slid panty hose in through them. Then put the egg in and basically made it a trampoline to where the panty hose absorbed the full impact both up and down.
OOH! I had the most fun with the egg drop we did in my seventh grade science class. Basically the rule was that everyone had to keep the egg in a sealed cardboard box with no attachments to the outside such as parachutes or balloons. I put my egg in a sealed plastic container filled with cotton balls, then suspended the container inside the box with rubber bands to act as shock absorbers. My egg was perfectly fine. A few of my classmates had the "clever" idea of just stacking paper (not crumpling) around their egg. It was a pretty heavy box and made a horrific "WHUMP!" when it fell. I warned them that would happen.
@K - raalle what if only the height you have to drop it from is specified but not the position? You could drop it on Mars while everyone else drops it on Earth
Mine was pretty simple. I put plastic wrap on egg (so I don't have to worry about cleaning up if it cracks) before putting it into a ziploc bag filled with nothing but popcorns. My physic teacher took my and classmates' projects to third floor before dropping them one by one. Mine survives, no crack. Out of all, my project weighed heaviest but held number one shortest time from third floor to concrete ground. Thanks to grading formula with timing being heavily favored compared to weight, I got A+. Yay, fun project.
I had to do this with a team as part of the orientation at a new job once. Half way through the design time, they shuffled the teams. After the competition, the people running orientation were like, "Was it hard when we mixed things up? Did you have to lEaRn To AdApT? *HMMM???* " We were like, "Oml yes, can we just do something worthwhile now?" It made as much sense and was as impactful as the "Prison Mike" episode of The Office
DungeonDude01 it’s because I’m a boomer begging for likes, I’m not the most familiar with Minecraft (waiting for someone to r/wooooooosh me someone please do it)
Last year in 4th grade we had an egg drop and my friends and I did a lot of planing and prototypes and our egg didn’t crack. Now I switched schools and I do a lot mar science and hands on related thing. For example me and my friend have to come up with a problem and build something to solve the problem. We watch your videos all the time at school and the whole class loves them.
in high school my competition rules said that it had to be a 10x10x10 cm cube. I found that 4 ramen noodle packs taped together are an exact 10 cm cube so I did that and cut a hole in the middle to house the egg. Whole thing took about 3 minutes to build and the egg survived. My secret? The ramen did a good job crushing and absorbing the energy, but my friend lived on a chicken farm so to ensure victory I used a small, unwashed egg with a thicker shell than what you would buy from the store.
I once took part in a egg drop challenge. We didn't have a lot to work with, so I wrapped the egg in a piece of soft foam, and placed two plastic cups around this to hold the egg in place. I wanted it to keep it vertically oriented, so I had a small piece of aluminum foil in the bottom of one cup and some pipe cleaners through the bottom of the other cup. My goal was to distribute the force of impact around the egg and give the egg some room to move to more slowly brake the fall it's fall (change in velocity over change in time). The cups shattered, but the egg survived a three-storey drop.
Idea #6
Drop chicken off bridge and have it lay an egg at the bottom.
They don’t take fall damage
Idea seven: drop a chicken with a egg on top, it will flap its wings down and float down.
I love this comment
Idea #8 Walk down the hill with an egg

So what your telling me is that I can cover myself in straws, and jump out of a plane? Aight dope
Ryder Justen-Pratt in theory you could, you’d just need some reaaaallly long straws to distribute the energy
A very strange ghostly squid i would assume it would be thickness as well?
Remember to use Wendy's straws
Give or take a few centimeters
Problem is, your internal organs would rearrange with the extreme directional change, even assuming you don’t break your ‘shell’

Just surround your egg with a bunch of other eggs. If one of them survive, say that egg was your original egg.

Thats a long commet
What a power move it would be to just show up with a drone and say "It's not against the rules."

I will so do that if I ever do any of these assignments in the future. if its not against the rules of course, I just hope no one else asks the teacher if we can use drones because then they will say no.
I did but got disqualified
Yes but also bring a backup option incase they threaten to disqualify you
William Brown if I do one of these assignments that was my plan (and my backup would probably be the pyramid option)

William Tew I do it all the time. Never done an egg drop though. I just like straws.
He took them with caution
I mean who working there will actually care if someone took 20 straws

Minimum wage is not enough to make you care about straw theft.
at least wendy never said “this is the last straw young man, you come here take our straws...blah blah blah have a great day”

bro really took this to the next level after 7 years. respect.
I remember we did this at a summer camp and we had to throw it over a wall, I put mine in a box and taped it up so much you'd have to stab the box just to start the cutting process, so when mine landed everyone was like "I heard it crack" but I just said "the egg is neither dead, nor alive. And it is both alive and dead at the same time" #SchrödingersEgg Then when they cut it open I blamed the person cutting the box and said "He stabbed my egg, I want a redo".
Unless they make you open it
You're smart

I actually asked my physics teacher if schrodingers law would apply and he said since it is both broken and unbroken then it is still broken and doesn't count.

its so trippy if u wear headphones😂
Step 1: Just boil it
Step 2: wrap foam around it
Step 3: yeet it of the bridge
Thanos TheTitan yes, you have to spoon it off the beidge
Thanos TheTitan neither are you?
Thanos TheTitan Yeet is very funny
could crack just while boiling it.
nah,
step one, boil it
step 2 rhino line it
step 3, now you yeet
Now I do know that if you can’t use paper and sticky things, then use popcorn in a plastic bag or something is the best option. Tho all depends on the impact hopefully the egg won’t hit the ground first- other then that thanks Mark Rober you just got me and my partner a 100% on our project! 😎
my teacher used you as an example of great ideas, I used something similar to one of your ideas and It got me 1st place out of my ENTIRE SCHOOL. that was a great day lmao
it took only a day after seeing my version for my best friend of 9 years to come 2nd, then some random girl came 3rd.
You have truly helped me have WAY more confidence in what I'm doing for my science class than any of my OTHER teachers. I wish the best for you.

I remember when I was seven we did this. Everyone in my class made tiny parachutes, while I just surrounded it with a lot of tissue paper. My egg was the only one that didn't crack
So if I want to jump out of an airplane I will use tissue paper instead of parachute? Got it
@@flasker9177 or get a bigger parachute
We didnt do this at my school but then again we probably wouldve just thrown the eggs at each other.
Exactly! The tissue paper is like your airbag.
I made a big parachute, and a resealable bag airbag. It survived. We could reign as the egg drop masters.
bruh its BIG BRAIN TTIIIIIIIMMMMEEE
After 6 years of watching this and waiting for physics class so I can do this I’m finally here. I promise you I won’t fail you

My school has a point system. The less points you have the better.
Straws: 0 points
Tape: 0 points
String: 0 points
A cotton ball: 1 points
Balloon: 1 points
Cups: 2 points
Parachute: 5 points
Anything from home: 10 points each stack.
I did the straw man method and got 0 points, people thought I hacked the egg and modified it.
congrats
Eason Choo wut even
@Joseph A'Costa easier than a parachute?
If I did this I would use 20 things of tape
Does making a parachute out of tape still count as 0 point?

Car crumple zones are very similar, engineered weak points to keep the human (egg) from breaking. Great show 👍🏼
In 8th grade we just got a box and poked some holes in it, and slid panty hose in through them. Then put the egg in and basically made it a trampoline to where the panty hose absorbed the full impact both up and down.
RyanWuzHere L.B that’s disturbingly smart
i just built a working airplane
OOH! I had the most fun with the egg drop we did in my seventh grade science class. Basically the rule was that everyone had to keep the egg in a sealed cardboard box with no attachments to the outside such as parachutes or balloons. I put my egg in a sealed plastic container filled with cotton balls, then suspended the container inside the box with rubber bands to act as shock absorbers. My egg was perfectly fine. A few of my classmates had the "clever" idea of just stacking paper (not crumpling) around their egg. It was a pretty heavy box and made a horrific "WHUMP!" when it fell. I warned them that would happen.
Mark: Let’s go crack some eggs
isn’t that what they are trying to not do?
Yup
Didn’t think about that.

Props to the cameraman for going back in time to film these cool shots of the egg building itself
Just throw a pregnant chicken
1) The flapping slows the fall down
2) There is cushioning to help it
Sean Kang I’m actually curious if anyone would do this
Should we tell him that chickens don’t get pregnant
Oh my god...
lol
i think we should
So the ideal design is an egg in a popcorn ball, surrounded by balloons with straws around it, all carried by a parachute or a few balloons
Also with a drone carrying it
@K - raalle what if only the height you have to drop it from is specified but not the position? You could drop it on Mars while everyone else drops it on Earth
Ex Nasa guy: My favorite class in high school is Physics

@Winnie Pooh thanks
Mine was pretty simple. I put plastic wrap on egg (so I don't have to worry about cleaning up if it cracks) before putting it into a ziploc bag filled with nothing but popcorns. My physic teacher took my and classmates' projects to third floor before dropping them one by one. Mine survives, no crack. Out of all, my project weighed heaviest but held number one shortest time from third floor to concrete ground. Thanks to grading formula with timing being heavily favored compared to weight, I got A+. Yay, fun project.
Teacher: Noone is going to keep an egg from cracking
Drone : Hello

I did it 10 years ago
That straw one is awesome!!
yeah i agree that would be the one i choose!
I used the straw one for my project and since the person dropping it made it land on a less protected side then the egg broke
I agree, it seems to be the least expensive out of all of these methods and can be reinforced much easier.
I had to do this with a team as part of the orientation at a new job once. Half way through the design time, they shuffled the teams. After the competition, the people running orientation were like, "Was it hard when we mixed things up? Did you have to lEaRn To AdApT? *HMMM???* " We were like, "Oml yes, can we just do something worthwhile now?" It made as much sense and was as impactful as the "Prison Mike" episode of The Office
Are you telling me that you had the chance to say “let’s get cracking” and you didn’t say that??
*hi I'm replying for no reason bye yeet*
omg your right :O
yep

Ok, so here’s an idea, enchant the egg with fall resistance 20 or higher

I am actually studying potential and kinetic energy at my school, I had a hard time to understand it, but this vid helped me. THX!!!
Last year in 4th grade we had an egg drop and my friends and I did a lot of planing and prototypes and our egg didn’t crack. Now I switched schools and I do a lot mar science and hands on related thing. For example me and my friend have to come up with a problem and build something to solve the problem. We watch your videos all the time at school and the whole class loves them.
in high school my competition rules said that it had to be a 10x10x10 cm cube. I found that 4 ramen noodle packs taped together are an exact 10 cm cube so I did that and cut a hole in the middle to house the egg. Whole thing took about 3 minutes to build and the egg survived.
My secret? The ramen did a good job crushing and absorbing the energy, but my friend lived on a chicken farm so to ensure victory I used a small, unwashed egg with a thicker shell than what you would buy from the store.
Or you could get a European egg.
Nice
bro them fresh eggs be indestructible though.
Or just hard boil the egg lol

I once took part in a egg drop challenge. We didn't have a lot to work with, so I wrapped the egg in a piece of soft foam, and placed two plastic cups around this to hold the egg in place. I wanted it to keep it vertically oriented, so I had a small piece of aluminum foil in the bottom of one cup and some pipe cleaners through the bottom of the other cup. My goal was to distribute the force of impact around the egg and give the egg some room to move to more slowly brake the fall it's fall (change in velocity over change in time). The cups shattered, but the egg survived a three-storey drop.
This man is the reason why we don’t have the egg drop competitions anymore
How to basic had entered the chat
probably instead because of vegans
now its the rising cost of eggs
