EGG SMASH 2014. Who will survive the SMASHING.

You have to love happy accidents when they involve smashing eggs and recording the mesh for a collection. With these 9 videos we see 9 student's toothpick creations stand the test of falling on the ground and seeing if the egg survived or broke. Now onto the first video.

Our first contestant up to bat has a design that goes for a sort of glider effect and as extra distance from the ground to the egg to make for more cushion when the egg falls. As you can tell the egg survived the fell.
Now onto the next.

Here we have a little more open space and several outstretching prongs going in all directions for cushion and highest probability that the prongs will falls down first and cushion the blow.The egg survived for this, now let's see if the next will do so well.

Our first break of the day. The design for this one appears to be circles or pentagons in a sphere shape. But the sphere didn't have enough cushion or distance from the ground to the egg and we hear the egg smash when it hits the ground. Well let's see how number 4 will do.

For this egg drop the contestant used a unifying triangle form with several smaller triangles composing it. Triangles are the strongest structure humans now and the contestant used this to protect their egg from breaking. Now for contestant number 5.

This egg did not fair so well. The design here is of a box with prongs sticking out of the corners for cushion. It appears that the prongs were not long enough the box shape did not cushion the blow for the egg. On to the next contestant.

This egg did as well as the last it appears. The design is rather bare and open which leaves very little for cushion and even less for air drag that may slow down the fall and act as cushion. So what do we have up next now?

Well this appears to be a Schrodinger's cat though experiment here. Similar to Number 5's design but with a fully enclosed box this eggs may seem to have survived but with further inspection it appeared that some ooze was coming out. Well let's continue on with EGG SMASH 2014 shall we.

Another box that didn't fair too well for the egg. This design seems to be a box with a bare bones box surrounding it for cushion and maybe as a suspension effect for the box with the egg. Well another one bites the dust and now we have our final contestant.

Another Schrodinger's Cat scenario for this egg. The design is a fully enclosed box again that jumps off screen and into the window. Upon inspection the box had some ooze coming out. So another egg appears to have bit the dust.

Well that includes our coverage of this year's EGG SMASH. I'm Jared Lampe and I hope to see you next year for EGG SMASH 2015.
