Aerodynamics for Mark Rober's Record Egg Drop

Ғылым және технология

This eggcellent project did not get over easy and although we cooked up some cool simulations, most of these vehicles ended up scrambled.

    I am reminded of when I was in college back in the early 80's our IEEE student chapter (at least the American citizens therein who got cleared) were invited to visit a defense contractor. At one point in the visit we were watching a simulation of the terminal guidance of a missile and it did {something interesting} and so I asked "why did it do {something interesting}?" at which point that part of the visit was quite promptly concluded.

    Hey man, aerodynamics engineer here! I strongly suggest you to repeat the test but placing the test model over the roof in the most central position. The position you chose here has a big problem: the airflow does not arrive on the winglets parallel to the ground as you were supposing. The air is in fact following the shape of the car and therefore it was arriving from underneath the axis of your assembly. You were basically simulating what would happen during a turn or a very strong lateral shear.

    This is one of the most awesome videos you've done! Joe as consultant makes your strengths shine, and as someone who deals with the limits of where reporting ends and federal agents knock on your door (sometimes for the nth time), you did a great job on toeing the line. One quick side note: body wake (as you put it) is called a "deep stall" in aerodynamics. It originally was a problem when turbulent wake from wings made a t- tail empennage on an aircraft go from a recoverable to an unrecoverable stall... and also why lifting bodies as aerodynamic structures became a thing. Congrats on y'all doing the world's highest egg drop! That's phenomenal! (I'm gonna fan girl and say you did the hard work here, js!)

    I can't help but think of an egg drop I did in college. It wasn't very robust because we were limited to 30 3x5 inch cards and some scotch tape, but design worked very well. It was like a spinning seed, except with 4 helicopter blades. We tested from three stories up, but it stopped accelerating downward almost immediately as most of the force of gravity was being converted into rotation and creating lift. It landed on concrete as softly as if we'd set it down by hand. Since you ended up eschewing the landing pad, a similar design instead made out of carbon fiber could have worked here. It does wander in the wind, but the gyroscopic force keeps it upright. Wherever it does land, it can't become a danger to anyone because it's terminal velocity is so low.

    that rogue negative sign reminds me of a failed Atlas-Agena launch back in the 60's, where one letter in the code was r, not r. (the dot is on top of the r, but i don't know how to get it). r. is the averaged data, and r is the raw data, which has spikes cause of vibrations, little deviances cause of wind, etc. this meant that raw data was fed into a sensitive system, which treated it as filtered. it went quite badly off course, and the flight was terminated.

    It’s interesting how our experience guides our imagination. Since this was going to be a ballon dropped device, there was no reason to make the apparatus rocket shaped. Since it doesn’t have to move effectively thru the atmosphere to get to altitude. In fact, the rocket shape actually returns to earth too fast for the goal. It would be cool to do it with some type of space plane / glider design with a cargo door.

    Sounds like you determined why SpaceX uses grid fins. Thanks for letting us learn with you.
