Please rename it. You were so close to the perfect Japanese language joke!!! Please name it: Tamago Ochi 卵オチ 卵 Tamago = egg 落ち Ochi = a noun that can mean final result, but when written in the katakana as オチ it would mean punch line and the noun comes from the verb 落ちる ochiru that means to drop The name would be a punch line about checking the final result of the dropping of an egg, while being a wordplay on Tamagotchi because it looks like it. The tiny difference in pronunciation would be that Tamagotchi is pronounced with a small silence between tamago and chi, while for your egg you would speak the O sound twice as long without silence.
as soon as you mentioned the code being open-source, my mind went to integrating it into games. could be as simple as as "gather your friends around, whoever can chuck it at the ground the hardest wins" to something more complex like making a realistic cooking mama minigame where you have to find the right amount of force to hit it against something to "crack" it without just full on breaking it. Could also maybe make a golf game where the harder you hit it with/against something, the farther your golf ball goes. EDIT cause i just thought of another idea: race through an obstacle course while trying to keep the egg's forces at a minimal level. challenge yourself or friends to minmax speed and gentleness!
I'm gonna add more of my ideas to replies instead of continuing to edit my original post over and over. that said, of course i have another... IDEA: Egg Chicken. You read that right: Egg. Chicken. Who can exert the most force on the egg without breaking a certain threshold? designate a threshold beforehand, and everyone takes turns. you lose if your number is lower than the person who went before you, or if you go over the threshold.
@@joosh.efor egg chicken I think it's better in elimination rounds, where it gives you a score to hit, you have 3 hits, best one kept, and the person with the lowest score gets eliminated. Though doing it in reverse, with the highest score wins is interesting too, because worse players get to play more which acts as a correcting mechanism.
Not using the exact force but the direction, you can fast juggle, throw the egg between your hands and see how many you can do in a set amount of time, you could also do shakes, rep counter by attaching it to a belt or barbell. Step counter is also an obvious choice.
How about a baseball shaped object that athletes use to increase their throwing speed. Could receive a lot of useful data from different types of pitches as well. I could honestly see something like this being implemented if it has not already.
This is brilliant Stefan! I'm already looking at how we could implement an egg drop competition using the smart egg in my local IMechE region as a STEM event for school children, university students and maybe even professional engineers! Being able to visualise the data and the OLED screen will be cool for children. It'll add some interesting maths for engineering students and potentially tough competition between groups of professional engineers.
I think it would be interesting to find a way to non-destructively simulate point impacts. Even if you have an overall slower fall, when the impact is concentrated onto a small point the egg will still break. I imagine a primitive version of a resistive touch screen. I think this would be a great addition to help grade low impacts
The dynamics and engineering of braking an egg are so complex that an accelerometer doesn't give enough data. V2.0 needs an array of tiny strain gauges measuring the force repartition on the shell of the egg
Over the past couple of weeks I've been making a slightly similar project myself in the form of an acceleration & speed sensing baseball to improve my throw. Something I really can't stress enough is the convenience of a wireless dashboard! It's been significantly less effort just having someone with a phone watching the live graph and max values than having to take an SD card out to plug into a computer every time! Loved the video, concept, and design!
But protecting an egg isnt just about acceleration. It also can rely on soreading out the force, or physically holding the eggshell together by strengthening the shell.
Omg, I need this thing for my bike. I’d like to record just how bad the cycling paths around me are and a high frequency accelerometer is really what I need.
This is such a nice and cute idea with a lot of scientific and maker aspects along the way. It's a super cool idea, and the collaboration - although I didn't know William - made things much more fun.
Anybody else notice like halfway through when they show William the egg Allen pan in the background just nodding his head, waving it back-and-forth and smiling
this is genuinely such a great idea! I remember doing egg drops in elementary school and been high school, and the results were obviously very binary (and hard to clean up!). This seems like such a good way to fix that, while still keeping the spirit of the challenge. Good stuff!
If you ever want to try this again (which you totally should!) You could try 3 d printing the outlines instead of laser cutting them and spending all that effort to remove the color sections. You could print a single wall outline of the sections
I would absolutely love a handful of these for my engineering courses. I have a digital electronics class that could make them and a design class that could do the drops.
In the idaho potato world we use equipment called bruise balls to ditect the rough points during harvest. These eggs reminded me of these bruise balls. Look them up if your interested in seeing equipment that would have similar components as your digital egg.
Fascinating-this is the kind of physics lab that my dad would have loved to engage his classes in! Real problem solving with plenty of engineering and fundamental physics all bound together by math. I look forward to seeing what others choose to do with your eggsparament!
This is making me reminisce about doing the egg drop in science class. I agree that this electronic egg could be a perfect STEAM product, and a lot of fun to also decorate and give your own touch to do.
That's pretty awesome. One of those would be pretty amazing to get a kiwi crate or similar educational box that's out there. I don't know what else could come in a box, but an eggdrop challenge box would be pretty great for learning.
As somebody who buys fertile eggs on eBay, this would be such a good idea to ship with the eggs to indicate if the shipping had any rough handling Instead of an SD card the MCU flash could just record the largest acceleration value and display it on screen Edit example: Int last_value; Int max_accel; Void loop(){ last_value = readAcceleration(pin); if(last_value > max_accel){ max_accel = last_value; } dislay.print(max_accel); }
That criteria doesn't matter if the person (egg) dies (breaks) on impact. Awesome video. You managed to fit a ton of stuff in such a small space.. Well done!
I guarantee there are kids that would want that egg just as a pet. You could add a little program that if the egg is kept safe long enough it hatches and then there's a little chick live on the screen. And then the accelerometer data could be used to let you know if you're keeping the chicks safe until they grow into an adult
Hey just wanted to say, I love this video. I’m currently in Germany (Bayerische) which is maybe why I got recommended this. Been a fan of William for a while, keep up the good work!
Really great engineering Stefan! Only thing I can think of that isn't egg-xactly like a real egg would be pressure. Eggs are very strong under even/all round compression. When I did egg drops in elementary school I actually just got a Tupperware container and packed it with as much cotton as I could on all sides very tightly to apply even pressure all around the egg, even the top, and just chucked it out the window with the standard 9.8m/s² - no parachute or other drag and no compression for dampening at the end and the egg was fine because of the even compression on all sides of the egg even though the impact was as bad as it could possibly be.
It would be great if the egg's screen just output that final number without the need to download data on the spot. It would still need to record the data to an SD card to be retrieved later to show the exact force values. But in a school competition setting, they need a definitive number to set a winner of the competition. The reason why would be lessons in the days to follow.
Try quiet background music to fit the mood of what you're talking about. I think it would elevate your production to a whole new level. Even without, this was a great video. Keep it up :D
That seemed nrf52840 is absolutely amazing and so full of power, I've been using one to build a GPS based laptimer due to just how damn fast it is thanks to having an FPU.
What a terrific project and video! I remember doing egg drop challenges at Cub Scout camps more than 40 years ago. The most fun was always seeing the various strategies kids came up with, from packing the egg in a padded cardboard box to adding parachutes or propellers.
The issue I see here is the sampling rate. It feels like the peak is only determined by a single data point, meaning the real peak could be way higher. So one room for progress would be to find an mcu with a higher sampling rate
If you are thinking of doing a PCB, I would recommend switching to the ESP32. It has multiple MB of storage space built in, bluetooth/wifi built in, if you want to do a mobile app for it for downloading data, seeing live status or resetting it. And if you do PCBA with jlcpcb, it would be cheap to source and have the chip placed on the pcb in pcba. I think you will find a suitable accellerometer, and ws2812 leds in their stock too, so everything could be presoldered by jlcpcb, so you only need to attach battery and casing. And the jst plug for the battery can even be added in the pcba. so no soldering required if designed properly :)
I won the egg drop at school by shoving a bunch of crumpled up plastic bags into a large oatmeal container, with the egg right in the middle. There was a single bag on the outside to make sure the cylinder always landed rightside up. That thing could have survived a drop from space lol
My first thought .. deceleration isn't the only factor though. How concentrated the force is might be a factor. An egg dropping on a flat surface doesn't leave much variety in landing options but when you build a container it should have a huge affect.
I used a Xiao for my senior design project. They’re incredibly capable microcontrollers for the 10-20 that they cost. I was surprised to see it chosen for V2.
10:45 Hmmm, I think I'd just hover the 3d pen relatively high in the air and create a plastic nest by drooping the plastic in the air... might be time for an eggdrop challenge at home 🤔

Honestly those heatsets are sooo nice, they have an amazing finish and were really easy to use compared to some cheap ones I got from Ali
Did you compare the weight to a real one ? I mean, we want to be fair .
Please rename it. You were so close to the perfect Japanese language joke!!!
Please name it: Tamago Ochi 卵オチ
卵 Tamago = egg
落ち Ochi = a noun that can mean final result, but when written in the katakana as オチ it would mean punch line and the noun comes from the verb 落ちる ochiru that means to drop

1/2 of Mark Rober's videos feature toddlers in swim suits... makes you wonder "hmmmmmmm whats on that hard drive, Robester?" hmmmmmmmmm
I like how allen just chilled in the background of the video looking around xD
I walked in on them filming and tried hiding but it didn't really work
@@allenpanWhat do you mean? You were nearly invisible!
@@allenpan Yeah, I definitely didn't come here to say that. Good job hiding 🙂
I was literally gonna say the same thing. Allen just chilling in the background completely cheesing it. Such appreciated!
@@allenpan You were in the video? Ptfff. If you wanna be in videos, you should get your own RUclips channel or something....
/s
That was a lot of eggcelerarion data to go through.
Man, why didn't I find that play on words earlier?
Yeah, he wasn't yolking around
Watching this video makes me want to hatch new ideas, I just don't want to shell out too much money for them, I'm cheep
This is an eggcelent joke !
These puns are a bit eggsessive
Oh it's home

How about a baseball shaped object that athletes use to increase their throwing speed. Could receive a lot of useful data from different types of pitches as well. I could honestly see something like this being implemented if it has not already.
There is nothing I love more than knowledgeable people unconditionally sharing their knowledge, because that’s how we really raise each other up
i love the fact that allen pan is squatting in the corner like he is not totally in frame 8:43
Disappointed you didn't go with "Humpty's Fall Criteria" 😂

Eggcelerometer for measuring eggceleration.
I’d love to see you do more little project like this every now and then!

Es ist irgendwie beeindruckend das man obwohl du extrem fließend, fast ohne Akzent englisch sprichst man direkt erkennt das du aus Deutschland kommst
As somebody who buys fertile eggs on eBay, this would be such a good idea to ship with the eggs to indicate if the shipping had any rough handling
Instead of an SD card the MCU flash could just record the largest acceleration value and display it on screen
Edit example:
Int last_value;
Int max_accel;
Void loop(){
last_value = readAcceleration(pin);
if(last_value > max_accel){
max_accel = last_value;
}
dislay.print(max_accel);
}

I’m glad to see Nick branching out from just The Yard podcast.
I got into 3D printing and you have helped me a lot with your channel.
Allen chilling out in the background like a cryptid is so funny
Using a 3d pen is a great personal touch on the spirit of the the challenge. This would make a great kit for educators.
Awesome project! I think that an accelerometer with higher max g and a higher polling rate would make this perfect for competitions.
That criteria doesn't matter if the person (egg) dies (breaks) on impact. Awesome video. You managed to fit a ton of stuff in such a small space.. Well done!

It’s funny the outside portion is filmed like a William Osman video, but color coded like a cnc kitchen vid
so cool! I think it'd be neat to wirelessly tell a device to make a broken egg beep or safe landing fanfare
Next video: making sentient AI eggs and dropping them until they rebel.
Hands down, the best thing at this project is the name... Tamadroppy. awesome!
Hey just wanted to say, I love this video. I’m currently in Germany (Bayerische) which is maybe why I got recommended this. Been a fan of William for a while, keep up the good work!
This is the best thing I've seen cooked up in the CNC Kitchen. Great job!
Fantastic! I would have loved to see more drops, though. And see how repeatable your results are and whatnot
I think the smart egg could be a really cool tool in physics classrooms
I love the detailed recreation of the eggdrop explanation :D up to the cracking egg :D

Eggdrop history in the making, awesome idea
Thanks ✌
Great idea! You should do this again with more time and real 3D printer and various filaments allowed, from rubber to hard plastic
Try quiet background music to fit the mood of what you're talking about. I think it would elevate your production to a whole new level.

William osmand's egg drop challenge going over time as is tradition.
I used a Xiao for my senior design project. They’re incredibly capable microcontrollers for the 10-20 that they cost. I was surprised to see it chosen for V2.
Tama Droppy lol
Had no idea you existed before this video but I've watched a lot of Will and this was a great video.
It’s very William Osman that he doesn’t retract his table saw blade when not in use
Please William use these is future egg drop videos
I don't have kids Stephan. I'm just here watching egg drops as an adult
10:45 Hmmm, I think I'd just hover the 3d pen relatively high in the air and create a plastic nest by drooping the plastic in the air... might be time for an eggdrop challenge at home 🤔
I wish his accelerometer was good enough to measure a naked egg drop for comparison!
Maybe in a follow up video. . .
Super cool. Didn't know about that micro controller, that is really nice. The pain of even storing CODE on the old arduinos was real.
this is such a good idea, you should do an egg drop world tour and get all the maker channels involved.
Glad i found your channel i loved the podcast with willy really cool data graphs for the egg drop i really enjoyed this
I cannot express how much quantifying the g-forces on an egg hitting the ground appeals to my nerd brain on a fundamental level.
Really thought the area under the graph was going to matter
Ordered parts, now waiting for parcel and my vacation...
Alan chilling in the background like nothing happen
Sooo glad to see the egg drop king remains the king
Hail to the king!
Dude I've never seen a 3D printing pen that's so cool
The eggDropMaster himself. Stoked!
That was one colab i didn't know i needed
You should work with Lewis from Everything Smart Home to develop the PCB. I think that would be a fun collab opportunity.
Awesome work as always. Been a long time fan of William so this crossover is dope.
This is so cool. Such a great and surprisingly useful project.
I've never participated myself, but ive often seen references to projects that revolve around "Egg Care", or whatever.
Think about these scientific eggs being used in those parenting projects where students are tasked with taking care of an egg over the weekend.
Again, very cool idea. Nice job!
oh yeah... T T i remember when i did it in hs.
i had undiagnosed adhd- u can imagine what happened to the egg.....
having an unspoilable "egg" would have been great
Awesome Collab!
the best protection for a raw egg would probably be to just keep the egg in the chicken and through the chicken off!
What an eggcelent idea!
I love Allen in the backround 😂
The smart egg is awesome, and would be great for schools, as you mentioned. I think wireless charging would be nice.
With Bluetooth you could put the data on a phone.
If you're going to go the soldering route, you could use an esp32 s2 and flash chip instead of the seeduino, so everything is on one board, since you're dropping it no moving parts might be better
Amazing crossover!
