Riley did a valcano in school for it and Madass did a little paper on a monkey. I was just suprised they had the kindergarten kids in it, Mad thinks it really cool to do something with her sister.
I liked the random picture Mark though in the email. lol.
I have built 2 VanDegraff generators for science fair projects. 1 in high school for a fair and 1 for my stepson Jeff's freshman science project. When I did Jeff's I made it into a kit so that he could reassemble it.

PAA # 14 RIP Mark.. I'll never forget you!!

I prolly just shot a gun cuz it was hard to screw up! That sounds like I could screw that up real nice like, Jim!
Closest we ever got to electricity was the big ball that created static electricity and it went thru everyones hand around the room....that was pretty cool!
Im just glad I didnt kill myself when I installed the 200amp service in the barn here. No experience at all...installed meter box, load center, and 6 circuits! Passed rough in and final...I guess im not so accident prone these days!

On another note. I know you have posted a picture of yourself before but could you post it again because I am sure you really don't look like Homer but that is all I can picture.
Have you ever seen a woman with a Homer tattoo?
Sheldon is pretty good lookin. I'm not sure why he's so shy to show you guys a real picture of himself.

LOL I did a volcano. Wow that was apparently a suppressed memory until just now.

We did the electric and the potato. In tech class in middle school we built bossil wood CO2 cars, and mine was the fastest in my grade. That surprise you guys? haha.

We also had to protect an egg from a 6ft drop with only 5 or so straws.
We did an egg drop contest too. Ours was fresman year of High School. We had one night to build a box with which to drop an egg into, unprotected, from a 20 foot drop. My box had a carburetor spring to create a false bottm, and padding in various consistencies.
I won that one too. My egg survived like 20 drops! Probly the egg drop and the CO2 cars were the only science projects I ever won.

I didnt take another shop class once out of middle school. I probably should have but then again I didnt take anything but one required class my senior year...now college was a different story!
Our teacher in shop class in 6th probably would have been glad to let us go 20 feet up and then push us off whatever we were on! He hated us!

Should have used that as an excuess devils night ( it was a science project ) jk

Next year or year after I have to build a box that will let an egg survive a 3 story drop. I figure I'll get a larger box and suspend a smaller box in the middle with rubber bands. Then pad the inner box with marshmallows or something. From there I'd just need a can of blue paint and a can of white paint plus a FORD stencil.
Only 3.2?! I think our lite beer up here is something like 4% haha.
Bud Light is 4.9 or 4.8 IIRC, and normal Bud is 5.2. I thought you said you had "stronger" beer up there?

Must be nice to be almost 19 and not have to do anything to help around the house or worry about a job......
Thanks for the butterfly email lastnight Mark. Pretty cool tattoo....
I wish I could do that lol, Ive been working full time since football ended my senior year. Most of my friends dont have to do anything and some times I wish I didnt have to either....but then again I wouldnt have a 7.3 lol

The secret with the egg drop..be careful to not make the padding too soft...or too hard. A lot of kids messed up not taking that into consideration. I used really light pillow stuffing as my top layer to soften the blow..and then I think I used insulation, and newspaper, and then collapsible pieces of cardboard. That way when the egg made contact, there were other materials that would slow it down before it reached the bottom of the box...and then the bottom of the box was spring loaded.
There were also other kids who made theirs too "bouncy" and the eggs would just bounce out and smash on the concrete.

It doesn't matter how hard or soft my interior padding is really. As long as there isn't any wiggle room between the egg and the padding it'll be ok.
Here's a drawing.
The idea is that when the box hits the rubber bands will stretch to absorb the impact. As long as the egg doesn't move around in its inner box it can't get smashed. The only problem will be making sure the bands are strong enough and making sure they don't bottom out. The whole box is dropped. The egg isn't dropped into a catching device.
Once I have it put together I can test it from 50+ feet in dad's manlift. It's only a 3rd story window it gets dropped out of for the test.
We didn't do science projects like that, but I had Physics in college and amazed my Lab T.A. by always managing to launch things.... then there was Chemistry lab....
