In this experiment, we were asked to create a device using paper to protect an egg from breaking after being dropped from a height of two meters.
My device consisted of：
-a parachute on top
-a box in the middle that held the egg surrounded by paper springs for protection
-and four legs at the bottom.
However, despite my efforts, the device was not successful in preventing the egg from breaking upon impact. The main issue was that the parachute was not able to reduce the speed of the device enough at a low altitude, and the legs were not sturdy enough to keep the device steady upon landing. When the device finally touched the ground, the egg was not properly protected and broke as the side of the box made contact with the ground.
In order to improve the design and prevent future failure, a few solutions can be considered. One solution would be to add more springs inside the box for additional cushioning. Another solution would be to replace the legs with a sturdier base that can better absorb the impact of the landing. Finally, a solution could be to include a mechanism that can slow down the speed of the device at a lower altitude, such as adding a secondary parachute or shock absorbers.
