Video Description

In our video we are trying to find out how Humpty Dumpty fell by finding out which orientation and egg is strongest and how different surfaces affects an egg.

Salam,

Apa kabar? One of our team (Doug) recently spent 6 months at ITB in Bandung and this video -- in addition to being a nice demonstration of differential eggs strength reminded him of his fun time in Bandung with the upside down boat volcano in the background from the view outside his house.

Anyway this is a nice video to demonstrate structural strength and the tie in to the Humpty Dumpty is cute. There is another fun egg physics "trick" -- one can stand an egg on its pointed end (and not just during spring and autumnal equinox). If you take some salt and lay it in a pile you can stand the egg on its "sharp" end. So far not a big trick. Now blow away the salt. All the salt crystals will be blown away except those that are holding the egg up which are almost invisible to the eye since it only takes a few salt grains to stand the egg on its end due to the shape of the salt crystals.

Anyway a nice video. Best of luck with the contest.

    Baik, kabar saya baik :), thanks for the support! Also, nice trick. I surely will try it!!! Thanks again!
