A quick note about physics IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW HEAVY THE CONTAINER IS!!! It will always drop at the same speed and it is not the drop speed that breaks the egg it is the rate of deceleration that the egg experiences. Thus all the compressable material under the egg to slow the deceleration and keep the egg intact.
And you have to control the aerodynamics of the container if you want to assure that a specific area hits the ground first. I think the jello idea is brilliant. I wonder if using another liquid like water or oil in a tube would work as well and be easier to use instead of trying to cut a hole down the length of the jello plug. Brad
