Hey everyone! Hope you’re loving the dam vids, still heaps more to come including some INSANE trick shots! Also in honour of the brave scientist eggs used in this vid, we have bought 500 chickens for families living in extreme poverty around the world. This will give them a ongoing supply of eggs for food and income. For more info or If you wanna buy a chicken for a family as well, check out Compassion here: www.compassion.com.au/gifts-of-compassion/chicken We’ve been massive long time supporters of Compassion since we started in 2009. We have seen first hand the difference they make in transforming the lives of families and children living in poverty. It’d make our day if you’d consider buying a chicken or sponsoring a child ☺️ Thanks 44 Club ❤️ Next vid: Giant Rubber Band Ball Drop from 165m 😍
When you guys were filming one of the how many series in the warehouse, you guys walked in on someone making an RBB. Is that RBB the one getting dropped?
Love the science with gaunson! Also it's worth noting the original egg landed in sand which absorbs a lot more of the impact slowing the egg on landing rather than stopping it instantly much like the grass clippings did, technically Donahoo had an assisted landing as well
so,...... now the boys have to drop a sand-box from the dam then a ton of sand then an egg.... yup, I can see where this could be one interesting video.
So a friend of mine here in Alaska raises chickens. His egg shells became very difficult to break. I seen this myself. It took silly amounts of effort to crack the eggs. Other than that they seemed OK. Turned out he had insulated his chicken coop with BlueBoard Styrofoam insulation and the hens were eating the insulation.
Up here in Alaska styrofoam is definitely a better alternative to heat lamps for keeping your chicken coops warm as heat lamps may set your coop on fire
Honestly the commtests have seemingly become a thing of the past. Even the videos that had a commtest from the last few years very rarely, if ever, got a winning pinned comment.
@@mx7950 Fact: Chicken eggs are not necessarily "fetuses" unless the laying hen has been impregnated by a rooster. The eggs that people eat from the supermarket are better defined as chicken "menstruations".
The egg will reach its terminal velocity pretty quickly. You could drop it from 10,000m and it would be the same as dropping it from 200. (Accuracy not withstanding) It’s all about the structure of the egg, the sponginess of the landing and the orientation of the egg on impact. Blind luck, basically.
If it had enough time in free fall, I think it would orient itself vertically, because its the most aerodynamic orientation. However, with that velocity, I don't think the orientation matters that much^^
I never really had a group of guy friends growing up, or now, so I like watching these videos and living vicariously through you guys. Thanks for the good vibes and ridiculousness.
Hey man, I was a lot like that growing up, I had friends but not close ones. It really just takes being yourself but also being willing to go outside your comfort zone. Take risks and be nice, you’ll make friends, I promise
This reminds me of this rocketry program I did back in grade 8. We had to build water launch rockets that carried an egg up and landed without cracking the egg. I spent a day coming up with this fall-away parachute and capsule, but when I launched it arched perfectly, keeping the parachute and capsule flapping in the wind at the front of the rocket until impact. Another classmate has a brilliant design. A margarine container with a bunch of holes and notches to run a whole bunch of rubber bands wrapped around the egg. It kept it suspended perfectly in the middle, regardless of impact. So his rocket just crashed and all was fine. After we were done, the teacher told us one of the cleverest methods they had seen was to submerge the egg in jell-o. Almost completely nullified any shocks to the egg no matter how the rocket launch went.
we did this experiment at school too, i thought i was being all smart making a parachute system. meanwhile the class clown just jammed his egg inside a ballon and semi-inflated it and ... his worked and mine didnt.
LONG time ago we did the egg drop from a military helicopter at my elementary school. We had a weight limit so that constrained things some. I too put mine in a little Jell-O in the center and buffering structure in the outside. There was maybe 1/4" of Jell-O on the edges. Mine was one of few survivors. BTW the outside structure was completely destroyed.
This video gave me an idea for the next throwing session. An Ostrich/Emu egg. One egg costs about $30 American, and is comparable to about 2 dozen chicken eggs. They require a hacksaw to crack before cooking. I want to see if the shell can make it through some things, or if it will go splat.
I think it might worse? Like yeah it needs a hacksaw to get through but it also weighs like 3lbs. Thats a hell of a lot of inertia. But they do come from the land of ostriches so seems like a fun thing to try
As far as the record breaking egg vs golf course...some golf courses have very plush, deep grass over rich soil (no, not the greens) And your attempt with the sheet...lift up on the sheet filling it with air just before egg hits...it should survive within a couple attempts once you get your timing down...cushioning it a bit like a football (soccer) trap wouldn't hurt. Have enjoyed your videos for a few years...living up to your channel name. Sometimes it's not about why, but why not!
@@Dr.Spatula Technically, yes, but hens also generally aren't hundreds of meters tall, and they tend to sit down while laying, so at most the laid egg will fall a few centi or millimeters.
@@Dargonhuman 🤣 true and I did interrupt one of my hens laying once, she stood up dead straight and plopped the egg out on the wood floor and the egg did crack.
Love your dam videos. I can't stop thinking about how much planning and must go into a trip like this with a crew, supplies, meals, etc... don't know how you pull it off, but we love it.
Planning? They're throwing stuff off a dam; not building a bridge. They can do it because they're each multi-millionaires from the channel and can easily afford to pay for it.

I did this egg drop experiment once when I was in high school for physics. When we did it I chose to wrap the egg with the folder paper, and to make a springy cord attached to a parachute made from the same paper. The crazy thing is at the top of the bleachers of my high school in Silsbee Texas it started raining and all of the paper was flopping. Yet my egg made it to the ground without breaking, and I believe it is because it was wrapped with the paper tightly. The best part about it was I got a 200 for a test grade. BTW big fan of y’all for the longest time and y’all have got help me get through so much stuff. In the sense of never giving up on my dreams and trying to do something amazing every day. Thank you guys for doing what you do and have a blessed one.
that's crazy, did that in Elementary school not high school lol. Our highschool physics build was to make a mouse trap car go as far as possible with a creative solution/engineering. I put mini rc bearings and mini bike tires on mine.. it crashed into the wall and I got 3rd place, it had the potential to go way past 1st place.. for the egg though I just bought a block of that fake plant foam, cut it in half and scooped an egg shape out, put the egg in, and taped it together it. survived no problem, even spiked it into the ground and it was perfectly fine. also lined the egg shaped cavity with cotton now that I'm thinking about it. fun stuff
Can you guys drop stuff from a crane like creation off of the dam? Maybe attach a rope and a really good scale to the the exact pressure after accelerating that far. Or those beanbag flag toys that have different points on the tail? @HowRidiculous
A-way-ole-back when the tauplins were first used to rescue jumpers from buildings they often only put a couple firemen on them and they were held slack... this killed people because there was no actual effect to slow. They then started employing bystanders to come in and all pull on the tarp, which resulted in a trampoline effect that threw people back in the air to land crumpled elsewhere. Over time a table of "how many" was developed and the crowds started taking bets as to bounce, crash or safe. An egg probably needs three terriers.
The thing that strikes me the most about this trip is just how much lower the water level is on the reservoir side of the dam. Like, comparing it to the last trip, it's significantly lower. Is Switzerland in the middle of a drought or something?
I thought it was because of runoff from the snow tops. Since it's a reservoir it must drain to create power. The snow will come back and fill it up during the proper season.
We acctually have a little bit of a drought, it's way to warm and to dry. But the lake's level's acctualy raising, since they emptied it over spring for maintenance works on the inside.
That saying only works when the result you are aiming for has never been achieved. Doing the same thing over and over again trying to recreate something rare/difficult that you know is technically possible (because it has been done in the past) is just perserverance.
Eggshells are super strong if you apply pressure when they are upright - They are symmetrical, like an arch, and as such, can withstand a lot of pressure. However, when you lay them on their side, and apply pressure that way, the shape is asymmetrical, and loses all its strength. If the egg happens to land either upright or upside down, it has a much greater chance of surviving the impact.
The guy who did the world record could have also used one of those chicken eggs with the extra thick shells that prevent the chickens from getting salmonella. I remember learning about those randomly, and I wonder if that would've made much of a difference, coupled with the ground it's landing on, and sheer luck.
I never would have noticed that! That's both fascinating, since I've never seen eggs in a container that wasn't a multiple of 6, and hilarious, since they kept saying "dozen" anyway.
I can't imagine the smell of that valley when all those eggs start to ripen. Edit: I notice what Gaunson calls a dozen is actually ten. Metric system? Why are dozens not 12?
Apparently David said he used organically farmed eggs 😅 but the big secret was how much time he spent calculating the drop angle and the drop speed!! I'm actually not done with the video loool so you still could get one that survived - but without all his calculations - it was still a very valiant attempt!! Well done boys!
I raise chickens. Free range home raised chickens that get large amounts of calcium and top tier nutrients have much thicker shells and are harder to break than store bought. I bounced one off of the side of my pan when trying to crack it lol. Fell right out of my hand.
Hey in my STEM class we were making contraptions for eggs and the teacher was dropping them off the roof. My contraption was similar to the package type you dropped. It was pretty interesting. (Also, my egg survived.)
I remember doing the same in physics... Everyone rushing for 20 minutes to build some cage out of straws or similar... I just left my egg in the chicken and won by 4 floors of the highschool
"Amazing egg sales this year. What are our percentages looking like?" "Well sir.. 2% from families, 27% percent from supermarkets and... well... 87% from throwing off the top of a dam........" "...... that doesn't even add up to 100"
@@dankyei Of course eggs are a renewable resource and buying 500 chickens to make people's lives better is nice. But like, the amount of eggs they threw, assuming other food during different period of the day, is months worth of food. It would have been nice if they could have made an effort to get the eggs from super markets that were required to throw them away due to expiration, or if they did to include that as well, because things done in honor could also just be done, lol.
We’re a recent follower of your guys channel. My 8 year old found you and we love what you all do. He’s requested a top 10(or more) slowie countdown video. Keep up the great work!
I had an idea for a video for you guys. Not sure if it would work or be entertaining. If you have ever heard of stomp rockets, thought maybe dropping something on it to see how high the rocket goes or make a larger version of it.
Store bought eggs have thinned shells so people can crack them easier, farm fresh eggs have waaaay stronger shells sometimes we have to beat them against the counter to crack the shell to break them open
According to something I found online, David Donoghue used his knowledge of WW2 "bouncing bombs" from his time in the British Army to calculate speed and angle of the egg in order for it to skip across the grass and survive. So the trick just might be to chuck it and hope for a few gentle bounces. I bet a collaboration, maybe with a local math team to work on the best angle using the theories behind the bouncing bomb, could be fun.
Of course you have to be creative and have ideas, which I also like to attribute to you. Unfortunately, however, I lack any understanding of flying halfway around the world, driving to a remote mountain valley to throw food from a dam...
We used to take eggs out to throw when they went bad. We would throw them as hard as we could….and then go to collect the survivors to throw again. It always seemed to us that the biggest factors in the eggs surviving was SPIN and ANGLE. They hit the ground rolling and bounce. But if you took the same eggs and dropped them straight down, they broke. So it makes sense to me that someone could throw it from a helicopter at an angle and get it to survive.
Didn't read the comments, may have already been mentioned, but I believe the one on the trampoline survived because it hit in close proximity to the hole in the fabric, allowing more give than the rest of the surface.
clearly, regardless of on what an egg lands, it has to land squarely on an end to survive, not on the side, and the pointiest end would be strongest. Maybe tape a piece of string on the round and and it may act as a tail to keep the egg straighter on its descent.
It’s crazy that me and my friends met Derek yesterday in Indiana. Like it’s crazy meaning a UA-camr but an Australian in America but Indiana. It was a crazy experience. I loved meeting you
Yes, free range eggs are stronger than others. The more freedom a chicken gets, and the more variety they have, the more powerful the eggs are, both structurally and tastefully.

I cut a slit into a nerf football and put the egg inside. I remember some of the other kids being pissed off at me for "cheating" 😂😂😂
"Amazing egg sales this year. What are our percentages looking like?"
"Well sir.. 2% from families, 27% percent from supermarkets and... well... 87% from throwing off the top of a dam........"
"......
that doesn't even add up to 100"
lmfao

Lmfao the sh¡t he says has me dying of laughter sometimes 😂
I would’ve loved to have seen a complete dozen dropped in a closed carton to see if any survived.
nah, the extra combined mass would be devastating
none would survive, but the explosion of them would be awesome.
Good point. if the carton landed end-on, and were taped closed, the ones at the top might just have a gentle enough landing.
As entertaining as this is. I can't help but think it's a bit of a waste.
maybe those eggs were on the way out to near rotten - expired
@@10Mbowman fair point.
Agreed
Guess you didn't read their pinned comment?
@@dankyei Of course eggs are a renewable resource and buying 500 chickens to make people's lives better is nice. But like, the amount of eggs they threw, assuming other food during different period of the day, is months worth of food. It would have been nice if they could have made an effort to get the eggs from super markets that were required to throw them away due to expiration, or if they did to include that as well, because things done in honor could also just be done, lol.
The fact that there basically throwing babies off a cliff is just amazing 🤣
Is a dozen in Australia really 10?
This channel is one my favorites, you guys make my day more joyful.
LOL, when they dropped the dozens. After impact all you need is a Brrrrt sound effect.
Home grown eggs fron chickens being fed oyster shells with their feed are way harder than store bought.
You Guys Crack me up and a Smashing Video to Boot.
so thats why eggs have become so expensive
Love you guys!!! 44 club 44ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hehe
We’re a recent follower of your guys channel. My 8 year old found you and we love what you all do.
He’s requested a top 10(or more) slowie countdown video.
Keep up the great work!
I am extremely impressed by the balloons not popping when sliding down the dam!!!
Me to
That might have been a low key world record for highest egg dropped and caught with a net
HR have a ton of records like that lol
Did anyone notice the "dozen" egg cartons only had 10 each?
@4:09
The thin mountain air is getting to them I think 🤔
Shrinkflation hard at work.
These were Australian dozens.
"Ooh it's Michael and Scott realising"
Office fans: 👁👄👁👌
7:00 everybody gangsta until the hydrogen molecule starts falling from the sky.
VxuahshzhahahheHa
I always had a problem with people throwing food away when there's homeless people and kids with no food in there stomach.
All the eggs were well beyond the use by date. Unless you want the little peasant brats to get salmonella.
At 10:28 they have a COOP crate which is a Swiss supermarket. I'm almost sure that those eggs are spoiled and can't be sold.
That make sense
HowRidiculous single handedly increasing the price of eggs
Maybe the egg on the golf course landed in deep rough. That would kinda be like the mound of grass.
or a really soft green
@@That1Carson yes could be.
lol 8:06
Does anyone realize these wonder creatures have just been thrown off an 165m dam
If vegan teacher would See this...
😅
Anyone else watching this in 2023 in America cringing thinking "wow they spent at least $10,000 on all of these eggs!"? Or is that just me?
I had an idea for a video for you guys. Not sure if it would work or be entertaining. If you have ever heard of stomp rockets, thought maybe dropping something on it to see how high the rocket goes or make a larger version of it.
I wonder how many meals those eggs would do, and you just throw them away
Store bought eggs have thinned shells so people can crack them easier, farm fresh eggs have waaaay stronger shells sometimes we have to beat them against the counter to crack the shell to break them open
Science with Gaunson makes me so happy.
Mountains are strong…
Mountains are triangles…
So triangles are strong!
According to something I found online, David Donoghue used his knowledge of WW2 "bouncing bombs" from his time in the British Army to calculate speed and angle of the egg in order for it to skip across the grass and survive. So the trick just might be to chuck it and hope for a few gentle bounces. I bet a collaboration, maybe with a local math team to work on the best angle using the theories behind the bouncing bomb, could be fun.
Successfully wasted food for a whole army.
Of course you have to be creative and have ideas, which I also like to attribute to you.
Unfortunately, however, I lack any understanding of flying halfway around the world, driving to a remote mountain valley to throw food from a dam...
Bro exactly what i was thinking
A worker at the super mart near that dam: Come again how many eggs do you want?
How Ridiculous with a straight face: We'll take about a 1000 dozens
Oh my god 8:06 Herron didn't even HESITATE with that mockery 🤣🤣🤣
We used to take eggs out to throw when they went bad. We would throw them as hard as we could….and then go to collect the survivors to throw again. It always seemed to us that the biggest factors in the eggs surviving was SPIN and ANGLE. They hit the ground rolling and bounce. But if you took the same eggs and dropped them straight down, they broke. So it makes sense to me that someone could throw it from a helicopter at an angle and get it to survive.
Gaunsons “sOOoOn” killed me 😂😂😂
Someone already dropped an egg from space and it survived.
Mark Rober
'Arch' was the word he was looking for, please advise him for future 'Science with Gaunson'. Great vid boys.
As many eggs that went to waste, thats how many you should donate to a local soup kitchen/pantry or homeless shelter... X2
The 2 dozen hitting the ground sounded like a Warthogs 30mm cannon. LOL
No wonder Switzerland stunk of rotten eggs when I visited!🤣
Didn't read the comments, may have already been mentioned, but I believe the one on the trampoline survived because it hit in close proximity to the hole in the fabric, allowing more give than the rest of the surface.
clearly, regardless of on what an egg lands, it has to land squarely on an end to survive, not on the side, and the pointiest end would be strongest. Maybe tape a piece of string on the round and and it may act as a tail to keep the egg straighter on its descent.
It’s crazy that me and my friends met Derek yesterday in Indiana. Like it’s crazy meaning a UA-camr but an Australian in America but Indiana. It was a crazy experience. I loved meeting you
Hear me out, spray insulation foam covering an egg. It will survive the fall I bet!
Fun fact about that egg world record. It was actually televised, I vividly remember watching it as a child & being amazed.
Yes, free range eggs are stronger than others. The more freedom a chicken gets, and the more variety they have, the more powerful the eggs are, both structurally and tastefully.
