My egg drop capsule didn't break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and my science teacher thought my capsule design was the best out of everything else this year XD
I made a cone w/ 2 paper wings on both sides attached with straws,
and on the ver bottom point of the cone, I put cotton, so that when it lands on the point, it hits the cotton as a cushion...

inside, cotton is both on top and on the bottom of the egg, and toothpicks ontop, so that the egg doesn't fly out, adn cotton under that so that the egg won't smash against the toothpicks when it flies up when it's dropped from 3 meters (and a little higher for mine XD)
then I have some string in it, and toothpicks on the bottom of the cone, so when it lands on its side, it doesn't hit the actual side of the cone
the wings helped the cone slow down in the fall, and have more balance
my capsule hit the point exactly how I wanted it to fall, and fell to it's side on the wings/straws, and toothpicks XD
razz
