Egg drop

Pros and cons of prototype 1

Has a resistant spring at Heavy

bottom
parachute Not very stable
 Only one parachute

Pros and cons of prototype 2

Spring at bottom Spring isn't very strong

parachute Paper only has two
strings supporting it
More padding around Nothing securing the bag
egg with egg

Pros and cons of prototype 3

spring No parachute
protected Nothing to help fall
slowly
Bag secured

Pros and cons of final design

3 parachutes Egg has no patting

String supporting
parachutes are taped
down
Strong spring

Initial design
The reason i chose to build my initial design is because it all had
a way to slow down its velocity and to reflect the force of the
impact to help it not crack or break.

Observations
My observations during my test in the first three prototypes the
egg broke because the parachute didn't help much which i think
this is because it was only one and the parachute was made of
paper and not other materials that could have performed better
In my final test i noticed that the egg had a tiny crack but still
survived i think my final designed did a lot better than any other
due to the fact of it having 3 parachutes helping reduce the rate
and speed of the fall and the strings were more secured to the
bag with the egg to allow the parachute perform more better and
the spring helped near the end because it allowed the egg to have
a safe landing. One thing that could help with this project is if I
was able to use more and different materials. So I was able to
make a better design to prevent the fall impact.
