my rocket succeded in keeping my egg safe. my idea for my egg drop was to use multi stage absorbtion. multi stage absorbtion is also used in car airbags. the basic principle is to spead out the fource across a long period of time so there is not a huge spike of force that could break an egg in my rocket or snap a neck in a car crash. my rocket has a cardboard triangular pyrimid on top that is filled with cotton. this was meant to break and absorb most of the impact. most of the remaining impact went to the 3 wooden rods wich carried the force past the egg. Additionally the egg was stored in a case filled with cotton.
