The straw and tape contraption works by creating a protective structure around the egg, absorbing the force of any impact and preventing the egg from cracking.
You will need straws, tape, scissors, and an egg. Optionally, you can also use other materials such as cotton balls, bubble wrap, or foam to provide additional cushioning.
The best way to construct the contraption is to first create a square or rectangular base with the straws, and then build up the sides by layering straws and securing them with tape. Make sure to leave enough space in the center for the egg to fit snugly.
You can test the contraption by dropping it from different heights onto a hard surface. If the egg remains intact, then the contraption is effective. You can also try adding more layers or materials for extra protection.
Yes, you can reuse the straw and tape contraption as long as it remains intact and the straws are not damaged. However, it is recommended to make a new contraption for each drop to ensure maximum effectiveness.
