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

the thing i like about mark rober is his ability to explain complex concepts in simple terms. like if i were to explain the whole energy thing he was talking about i wouldve gone into work-energy theorem, equations, and integration, but he just manages to basically explain the jist of it in a simple manner that even a child can understand
Its not difficult, quantum physics and relativity now that is difficult, your problaby just a kid.
@@josafattacos3654 please point out where in my comment i used the word "difficult"
i was pointing out that they were simply relatively complex concepts compared to the intended audience hes presenting it to
If its complex to you then its difficult to understand,complex means it not easy
@@josafattacos3654 complex means "not simple", not "not easy", theres a difference, the concepts i mentioned are easy to grasp for anyone with a solid background of high school-level math but still not simple enough to be explained as-is to a small child
my comment was about how he managed to explain what are traditionally high-school topics in a way that could be understood by someone in primary school
also for the record, im not a child, im currently going to college for Computer Engineering and just finished my second semester
@@Azide_zx alr, ignore this whole misunderstanding and change the word difficult with compex in my first comment
I did this in kindergarten, my dad was a welder, he welded a box holding the egg. It never broke. Legend. Love you pops.
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
Just surround your egg with a bunch of other eggs. If one of them survive, say that egg was your original egg.
Genius

physics teacher: takes 3 days to explain potential energy Mark Rober: look block go high and low
LOL
Nate0 nice icon
So true
Nate0 lol yes!
😂 exactly
See, when we did this in year 9 (10th grade), we had a whole school day dedicated to this experiment, but they made it like a legitimate NASA project. We had limited funding (they gave us coloured counters that indicated money). These were used to buy materials when we were there (so already, your options were limited to what they provided, and how much your group could afford). Then we had to assemble it there and then (with a time limit!) and do the drop in the afternoon. It was great fun, but jeez was it a challenge….
that sounds amazing
Year 9 is 8th Grade
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.
All you need is a Purple mattress around the egg
Lol I see the refrence
The best reference ever
I was wondering if someone made a temper pedic joke already
lol yes
The boy ha ha
What a power move it would be to just show up with a drone and say "It's not against the rules."
Eggceptional idea
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)
Can't believe it's been 6 years since this came out. Still gold.
bro really took this to the next level after 7 years. respect.

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

Remember to use Wendy's straws
Go try it Goodluck to you
Give or take a few centimeters
Who’s here for ideas lol
Props to the cameraman for going back in time to film these cool shots of the egg building itself
just tape the egg on a cat's back cause cats always land on their feet
+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.
boi
But the thing is... No one says cats can survive the impact.....
that carrot guy caTs HAVE NINE livES
+karina johnson what if the cat had no more lives O-o
*5 years later:* still using same music
Omg I legit just realized that XD
Honestly it’s a bop tho

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
its so trippy if u wear headphones😂
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.
Just used your explanation for the staw pyramid design to explain my newspaper pyramid design. Got perfect. Thank you.
Great. Now my teacher says
"none of mark rober's ideas"

At my school I noticed that the teacher never checked if they were normal eggs because he bought them to school so I bought the same brand boiled on and swapped his out with my boiled one still hold the school record 56metres I’ve held the record for 9 years 😂
At my school they did allow parachutes, but they had to be less than 30cm across
So I used 4 of them and a straw contraption similar to what you made
Technically not a violation of the rules, so I won on a technicality
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.
Lol
+Wick3DPimP dude.... same he said it didn't count but i showed him in the rulebook he had to allow it. xD
haha
+Wick3DPimP pretty much the same thing happened to me with a mouse trap race car assignment, except mine got the best time in the class lol.
bahaha me too! exactly the same thing, box I found and brown paper towels from bathroom. This was in a community college too
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
Nice! Could probably do even better if you folded it just a little bit so it didn't flip and slide on the way down

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.

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.
hey Mark! for the past hour ive been so amazed of your methods and ideas! i have an egg drop challenge tomorrow, so just wanted to say i appreciated you for making this video
1:39 how did Mark just teach me in 20 seconds what my 5th grade teacher taught me in 2 weeks
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
@@nurphurecarnium your pfp tricked me haha

**slips** good thing I'm surrounded in a popcorn ball!
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
I remember using a pringles can and suspending the egg using rubber bands inside the can and then used a slab of concrete in a bathtub kiddie cup to weigh it on one end so it’d always land straight up and the egg survived. My dad and I came up with the design and we were very happy to win the “most technical” award for that drop :P
I love how he casually just took 20 Wendy straws
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
@@alexmoorehead8501 This^
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”
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.
lol
just like my life
I feel ya xD
wtf that's fucked up
well that sucks
that's unfortunate :(
I show my classes this video every year when we do the egg drop lesson. Thanks Mark!
Concise and precise instructions. Great role model for my son. Thank you.
Who else’s is watching this because they needed it for a project
*Because I’m not...*

You've helped me remember how I made my high school project for a college essay. Thanks a lot!
i actually used one of the softer type of colanders and glued two together. I paired that with a piece of foam i got from home depot
It worked well when our music teacher chucked it off of a two story building onto cement
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
Are you telling me that you had the chance to say “let’s get cracking” and you didn’t say that??

I’m TRYING that tomorrow
@@letitgrow3355 let us know how it goes!
It worked
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.
Cool cool
I’ll use this later
Pretty sure this is BS. Physics just wouldn't allow the box to fall with its flat side facing down.
@@YR2050hug really is that so
But wouldn’t the box get turned by air resistance though?
The only physics teacher that I actually understand- My teacher needs 2 lessons to complete this topic and Mark here just taught me in like 10 minutes-
I made one in middle school that had the egg suspended by rubber bands inside a ball or something. It worked really well!

wow mark rober inspired me to learn science for 4 and a half years now
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

Some time (very long time ago) in middle school, My teacher said we were doing an egg drop and this was the video i ran to after school, long story short, I won!
Car crumple zones are very similar, engineered weak points to keep the human (egg) from breaking. Great show 👍🏼
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!
Doing the challenge today test it tomorrow
try combining every idea together straw parachute
Im doing the same challenge later this semester and I immedietly remembered this video.
Awesome 👍
i did mine a few years ago, all i did was strap two thic pillows together
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.
Thats a long commet
I watch this guy each now and then and the fact that my teacher also recommends his videos now, is insane.
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

8:15 ur son is so cute and it’s brave of you to bring him on camera
I bet many pedestrians thought he was committing suicide
Unless you are weak, how would you expect to die from falling that high?
by falling on your head or back?
Ëñçrÿptįøń humans are very fragile. That looks like ~15 meters at which you would definetely die. Unless you are lucky of course.
Actually, a human landing on their legs from that height would survive, they'd definitely break some bones though. There are stories of people surviving sky dives when their parachutes failed.
Probably on your feet
Straws?!?! *several Californians are typing*
Lol XD so true
Are straws banned in California I live in New York so I don't know
Could easily change them for some wood, get some bbq skewers and the effect would be similar to the stiff straws, maybe add a small air cushion for the egh

감사합니다.
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.
