To slow egg down, you could try using a series of very thin square nylon fabric sheets 10"x10" or so. Hang them by the corners to the 4 long parallel wood rods using a bit of glue and thin stripes cut from napkins. The idea is that egg will catch fabric sheets one by one, reducing it's speed and at the same time it will build up a damping layer in front of it. When egg will lose part of its energy and will have lots of fabric layers wrapped around it, you could try to catch it with a sheet you showed, or using a huge pile of hay.

I would suggest multiple layers of fabrics of different mass, from lightest to heaviest. All fabrics should be spaced and mounted in a way to make it possible to easilly come of the mount and travel forth with the egg. Egg would keep catching more and more layers and slow down to finally end in something similat to what you showed at the begining of the video.

Three ideas for catching the egg without breaking it. The first is a sheet of paper, and then another sheet of paper, and another sheet of paper, and so on, spaced about 3 inches apart. I don't know how many it would take to slow it to a stop, but thicker sheets of paper should slow it more and each should slow it down some. The second idea is basically the same configuration, but with bubble wrap. In both cases, I'd recommend something soft for them to land on after they've been slow down enough. The third one, going to be done with trash bags or balloons or pretty much anything else that could hold reasonably large pockets of air. But again, not just one of them. Same basic idea, each one it goes through should slow it down somewhat.

Great video! One try for catching the egg would be to hang thousands sheets of tissue paper from a rigid frame, with some space between each one. It might need to be angled slightly downwards to account for the loss of momentum as the egg slows down. Probably too much work, though. Another way, though even more unlikely to be built, would be to create a large rail gun to accelerate a frame holding a bed sheet, and connect the trigger to the air gun such that the sheet is traveling only slightly slower than the egg! Or as an alternate version, a second larger air gun could launch a weight attached to a cable that would pull the sheet frame along a rail.

Layered Fabric Deceleration System: Egg Container: Place the egg within a protective container or casing to prevent it from cracking upon initial contact. Multiple Fabric Layers: Arrange several layers of soft, lightweight fabric in the egg's path. These layers should be securely anchored to a frame or support structure. Progressive Deceleration: Each fabric layer should have a specific attachment mechanism designed to slow down the egg when it hits. This could be achieved through adhesive properties, elastic bands, or Velcro-like attachments. Sequential Release: As the egg impacts the first fabric layer, it slows down gradually. The attachment mechanism then releases the fabric layer, allowing the egg to move on to the next. Repeating Process: The egg continues to encounter and slow down against subsequent fabric layers until it comes to a complete stop. Safety Frame: Ensure that the frame or structure supporting the fabric layers is stable and absorbs any remaining kinetic energy to prevent sudden stops. Testing and Optimization: Experiment with different fabric types, attachment mechanisms, and layer configurations to find the optimal combination that allows the egg to stop safely without breaking. This system would provide a series of controlled deceleration stages, gradually reducing the egg's speed until it comes to a stop. It's an inventive way to protect the egg during high-speed impact. Extensive testing and adjustments will be essential to fine-tune the design for optimal performance.

My suggestion would be some sort of "bottomless" catch bin with some arrangement of panty hose inside. You can use the "legs" of the panty hose to tie to the rim. Or maybe just several layers (enough so it doesn't blow out the fabric) of panty hose stuffed inside each other and you can shoot the egg down the leg and it will decelerate the egg gradually as it the panty hose gets narrower and stretches out. I know panty hose works to some degree because I won my physics class egg drop 40 years ago with an egg suspended inside a 6" X 6" X 6" box with panty hose. In the egg drop "playoff" my teacher even went to the top of the press box for 6 more feet of height and threw (not dropped) the surviving competitors entries downward. Mine was the only one that didn't break....But I don't know if it would work on a 300 MPH egg.

To catch an egg at high speed I would try a pendulum with a long (maybe 2 meter (6 foot)) arm that can freely rotate in a circle; could be vertical or horizontal rotation (horizontal might be easier to construct). At the end of the pendulum's arm I would try a net to catch the egg without breaking it. When the egg hits the net, its kinetic energy is transferred to the pendulum arm's rotational energy, which would spin around and around until that energy reaches zero.

Most laypeople think of material strength as a single variable. In engineering, there are a plethora of different measurements used to gauge the strength of a material. Plastics are relatively weak in ultimate strength, but they're extremely strong when it comes to withstanding flex and distortion. Plastic's flex allows it to spread the energy of an impact over a greater distance (like a bungee cord), lessening the peak force experienced by the plastic at any given moment in time. The lesser ability of metal to flex means the kinetic energy of an impact has to be absorbed over a shorter distance (like hitting concrete). Meaning the peak force is higher; enough to tear the metal in aluminum's case.

*@Bruce Yeany* 8:56 To catch the egg, you probably need some multi-stage material, and a very deep catching area. The problem is that the egg needs to slow down slowly enough, and almost anything, even the softest feathers will break it at that speed. Maybe some structure like: dense smoke? --> foam --> loose cotton/wool? --> maybe aerogels --> maybe some liquids by now --> eventually something "solid" like cloth, for it too finally land in without breaking.

To catch an egg- suspend a cordura sling pouch (target) from a tree on slip-off key rings mounted on finish nails. The pouch would be suspended from way high up in the tree on 1/4” bungee cord. Upon impact the lightweight pouch accelerates and is released from the tree. The egg stretches out the bungee and also begins to swing upon a long arc from the base of the tree. At some point, maybe 30’ from the anchor and 30’ high the egg would come to a stop and fall down. That’s where it gets interesting- it might be nice to have a piece of 50lb monofilament attached to the pouch or even chute cord that is anchored downrange even further and tied to a lightweight weight, hoisted high in a tree. When the pouch is released and begins to decelerate the egg- the opposite weight would fall toward the ground and hopefully arrest the energy contained in the eleongated bungee cords upon arresting the energy contained in the speeding egg. I’ve used a similar concept in tree work to arrest flying loads without the bungee- and it works really well. Maybe it would work with a 300mph egg? Great video, I imagine you’re a career educator, and if so, your students were/are fortunate to have you as their teacher!

Decelerating the egg with liquids should work, although plain water might be too dense so a foam would likely be needed. A couple metres of dense shaving foam then a metre of water might do it, using some sort of gutter with cling-film on the ends would save on the volume needed. Worth a try with just water though, hitting pointy end first it might just survive! Foams can often be mixed with gels and stay stable, could be a good way to adjust density (also check out aircrete).

I've made "spud guns" powered by butane and gotten over 500 fps (using a ballistics chronograph and a small nail in the spud") and they are illegal in many states, just for that reason. We actually used the spud guns for shooting down beater Radio Control Airplanes which was nearly impossible.

If someone decides to start using such a weapon as a tool of warfare, some soldiers will end up coming home shell shocked, and those who get hit with such a cannon may get their innards all scrambled. Eggcept, I would argue that such a cannon is more eggological than ecological. Chickens are currently being fed normal food products like corn and soybeans, produced by conventional agricultural methods, which is responsible for a not insignificant quantity of the total CO2 emissions of humanity. It is possible to eventually eliminate such emissions through the use of chicken feed production by methanotrophic bacteria and renewable electricity derived methane, but it is not currently being done. In the meantime, I think a more ecologically minded cannon would be designed to fire a water ice projectile using compressed air, where the energy for the production of the compressed air (and the ice, if not produced naturally during winter) is produced by renewable solar energy.

To catch it without breaking, I think you need to disperse the energy in a way that starts small and then increases, but not fast enough to stress the shell beyond its breaking point. I think that requires a sort of reverse ooblek. Something like a fabric with elastic bands that engage as the egg deepens, or elastics that break. I'm sleepy right now and thinking in high speeds and in slow motion isn't working.

Due to the relative fragility of the eggshell, whatever is going to stop it intact must not impact the shell unless it is loose enough to spread the impact energy quickly, ie bedsheet unsecured at the bottom. Or is moving at almost the same speed and once 'catching' the egg, slows slowly enough to bleed off the energy.

If you fired it straight up it would return at terminal velocity and out might have a chance of catching it. Only problem is where is it going to land. Alternatively maybe you could fire it through a bunch of showers running water. The water may slow it down enough that you might be able to catch it in a sheet or something. The heavier the water shower the more water the egg has to accelerate hence slow it down faster. Maybe even hoses with a stream of water.

This has to be one of the most interesting and astonishing clips I have seen in a long time! It's an amazing demonstration of the laws of Physics, and actually provides insight into ballistics, collision theories and energy dispersion etc - very novel. Enjoyed it. The egg literally has more energy than a falling hailstone (of certain size, of course).

To stop a whole egg try attaching successive sheets of mylar (or any really thin PET membrane) top and bottom with clothes pegs, in a row so the egg hits sheet after sheet after sheet. Lots of sheets an inch apart, as the egg hits it will only transfer a very little energy per sheet to overcome the clothes pegs and the mylar will wrap around the egg, increasing the drag with each successive layer.

You just discovered a way to peel a raw egg. Usually, boiled eggs are peeled, but not any more. This new technology not only peels raw eggs, it also scrambles them too.

"Commander Scott, can't one of us leave this tank to fetch some eggs to go with our tea..." Unfortunately, he never could finish his sentence, as at that very moment, a T64 fired an armour piercing egg shell (APES) and penetrated the Challenger 2's hull, destroying the tea maker, and scalding the crew to death with the released water and tea additives were at over 100'C.

Idea for slowing down the egg: Spraying a really dense rain of tiny droplets with several garden hoses. I guess that every hit with a water droplet would reduce the eggs velocity, until it is slow enough to be cought by other means.
