Egg Drop Experiment

Peter — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 10:58:20 +0000

We had to design and construct a device that would allow an egg to fall from appoximately 4 metres without cracking. It had to be less than 300x300x300mm with 50% of the egg visible and the lighter weight the better. There was a huge range of different designs and some of the really complex ones failed but our simple paper tube ones worked pretty good.

Samsung HMX-U10 Unboxing Review

Comparison in size against my HTC Touch Pro

This was an impulse buy off Catch Of The Day for $150 but it has some neat features. Mainly being that it can record in full HD with a resolution of 1920×1080 @ 30 fps. It also has some timelapse features and the ability to take photos. It can also record at 1280×720 @ 60 fps.

Below are some test videos showing the difference between 1920×1080 @ 30 fps and 1280×720 @ 60 fps. I prefer the look of the 60fps. I don’t think youtube really shows the difference as they’ve been re compressed but I’ve added the raw MP4 files for download.

One thing that bugs me so far is how close the cover is to the USB connection, to me it would make sense to swap the video output and USB around so there’s more room to make the connection. I’m sure the usb plug is going to get used more than the other one. I’m tempted to rip the door off to save stuffing around with it.

David and I went down the coast for the weekend. I wanted to test out my camera in the surf, it’s a bit shaky but after reviewing this initial footage I’m sure I can improve on this. It has been ages since I’ve been in the surf and we had a great day for it. The water was still cold, hence why we’re wearing wetsuits but it was a lot of fun.

I found these still lying around on my computer and figured I might as well put them up.

I thought I lost this but as I was going through photos of my FJ40 restoration I came across the original Photoshop file. This was made as part of our holiday video in New Zealand.
