Comments on: At school we have to make shoes to walk on eggs. We can use foam, styro foam, rubber, and bubble wrap? http://www.nrfoam.org/foam-rubber/at-school-we-have-to-make-shoes-to-walk-on-eggs-we-can-use-foam-styro-foam-rubber-and-bubble-wrap/ Wed, 17 Mar 2010 10:13:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: O-360 http://www.nrfoam.org/foam-rubber/at-school-we-have-to-make-shoes-to-walk-on-eggs-we-can-use-foam-styro-foam-rubber-and-bubble-wrap/#comment-1447 O-360 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 22:54:59 +0000 http://www.nrfoam.org/foam-rubber/at-school-we-have-to-make-shoes-to-walk-on-eggs-we-can-use-foam-styro-foam-rubber-and-bubble-wrap#comment-1447 Foam sounds like a good material for contact with the eggs, it would avoid stress concentrations at the highest point. Also... can you make the shoes considerably larger than a typical shoe (Sasquatch shoes?), to distribute the weight over more eggs? Snowshoes work by distributing weight like that. You would need something rigid to distribute the weight (styrofoam?) with thick rubber foam attached to the bottom.<br><b>References : </b><br> Foam sounds like a good material for contact with the eggs, it would avoid stress concentrations at the highest point.

Egg shells have great tensile strength, so you really want to distribute the weight across the entire eggshell rather than on one set point. Just a thought.<br><b>References : </b><br> Actually, I would use something firm but flexible like rubber.
