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
@@Vileplume87however they will cost 4 feather blocks and a pumpkin
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
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
@@Abstract_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
Eggception
The air wolf the 1st eggception Eggception credit goes to Sandra lewis
danm, you some kind of genius
When all of dem' eggs break tho...
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)
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.
bruh, i just had a whole lesson on energy, and this is literally the whole month of classes in less than ten minutes
Same
My teacher just showed this video lol
lol
Wha

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
Can't believe it's been 6 years since this came out. Still gold.
You should honestly be a teacher, the way that you explain the things just makes me understand it so well. Great work Mark
“So my favorite class in high school was physics”

While the quality of your videos have DRAMATICALLY CHANGED … your AWESOMENESS HAS NOT!!
Stay humble and amazing!
bro really took this to the next level after 7 years. respect.
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
Helium balloon
@@hagenqian true
Just throw a kid out, they’ll land fast but it’ll be funny
@@brick3011 Ah yes, the classic Kid Drop
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 :(
Props to the cameraman for going back in time to film these cool shots of the egg building itself
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 😂
Dude - how many times did you have to climb over that railing? That ledge looked so sketch
**slips** good thing I'm surrounded in a popcorn ball!
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.
ShivanDreams it worked right
@@hornetisntvoid5730 sure did
ShivanDreams nice
Just used your explanation for the staw pyramid design to explain my newspaper pyramid design. Got perfect. Thank you.
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.
*5 years later:* still using same music
Omg I legit just realized that XD
Honestly it’s a bop tho
Nostoliga
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
its so trippy if u wear headphones😂
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
bc you have a bad teacher that is more concerned about kissing the asses of their bosses then teaching kids
So true and this doesn't make u want to fall asleep
lol same
I had a really crappy physics teacher. Yet these videos kept me interested in science growing up.
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
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
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
To think this was my first vid watching Mark rober and look how far he's come, we are so proud of you
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
24 million people just got educated on how to drop an egg correctly
Lol
probably less, watched this like 5 timea
@@Ynbpjoey11 what you egg?
Ha😂
Actually 25 mil
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
Go try it Goodluck to you
Give or take a few centimeters
So surreal to finally see the full William Osman intro.
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.
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”
Sad part is that I found this video AFTER i did this at school

I did it 10 years ago
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
I made one in middle school that had the egg suspended by rubber bands inside a ball or something. It worked really well!
You should do a vid on how to have the upper hand in tug of war without having shear muscle
isabel fizzy leverage friend
isabel fizzy yes please
Steal The Rope So No-One Can Play
Psssssst.... Angled shoes....
isabel fizzy that seems like something he would do
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?
Car crumple zones are very similar, engineered weak points to keep the human (egg) from breaking. Great show 👍🏼
Who’s here for ideas lol
If this guy was my physics teacher then i would actually be interested in school
OMG A CUBER VOOOOW
yessir
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 same

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
Can we just appreciate how Genius Mark Rober is.
no we cant
Yeas we can!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should just make a school with like 2 hours doing the stuff you do on TH-cam, people would love you and you would save so much time
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
Mark Rober was HowTo Basic all along
I show my classes this video every year when we do the egg drop lesson. Thanks Mark!
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
Took our teacher 10 1 hour classes just to explain energies and my mans over here just taught me clearly in like 9 minutes 😭
Google can also help, but this is more intuitive. Less academic, objectively more fun, but it doesn't cover the intricacies of work and energy

+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
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
For my egg drop my teacher tried to closely resemble real life so we had a budget and we have limited supplies. However this was helpful for ideas!

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!
Im so glad my friend told me to watch you cause i have an egg project at school
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.
Lady Alfhildr of the Forest of Violet Mists LOL 😂 that is an amazing story

Me and my friends actually used this for our science project idea
I went with the parachute approach. Once I did a heavily cushioned version of my parachute pod, which surprised me when it also worked. Also, I used some of that memory foam like "egg crate" material.
Ok, so here’s an idea, enchant the egg with fall resistance 20 or higher

I greatly enjoy and appreciate your explanations as to why these methods work.
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
“Let’s go crack some eggs”
But isn’t that... what we aren’t supposed to do?
My thoughts exactly
He meant that you need alot of tries to get an egg to land without cracking
Basically means Les proceed ik this is a joke
STONKS
The failed attempts
When i was in high school, we did this experiment. All I did was wrap the egg in cellophane and tape and then more cellophane and then stuck the egg in a box of krispy kreme donuts and then wrapped that box in cellophane and a bunch of tape. To be fair, I wasn't taking it very seriously, but the drop was only about 20 feet and surprisingly, my egg survived. I had a box of donuts to eat after the fact so i'd say I won, hands down.
Concise and precise instructions. Great role model for my son. Thank you.
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
Master Goody l
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
I love how a Nasa Engeneer still have fun on EggDropp Challange or ElephantToothpaste and stuff. like pretty unusual things that actualy makes no sense :)
I finally understand the physics in an egg breaking! Thanks mark
Makes sure no egg is hurt. Jumps over security fences on a bridge to make sure the hight is right. Nice 👍
Great. Now my teacher says
"none of mark rober's ideas"

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.

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

Your teacher : Am I a joke to you...?
Probably because you didn’t go to class
Thats cause people who failed horribly in their majors become teachers. The ones who succeed become engineers, architects, all that stuff
That's the way the system is set up.. They don't want you to learn
Ya I know right

One time when i was like 10, I remember doing an egg drop, and i just wrapped my egg in clear tape. The air pockets between each layer acted as a shock barrier. To my surprise it worked perfectly.

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
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.
Most important part is DOMINATE the competition, mark rober style!!!
