The triangle is the strongest structure besides a circle and that is what this design is based on. This experiment is modeled after an MIT class experiment . Out of my class this was the only design that protected the egg from breaking.

Our class dropped our devices off of a 2 story fire escape. At MIT they drop there eggs off of a much higher building and the designs that do make it are the ones made of a lot of little triangles that are fitted together to make a sphere much like a soccer ball.
