Fuck you, you didn't google it.

>>1050217
I did, but i'm empty

>>1050218
no you didn't.

>>1050221
I did, both in class and now

I kind of was hoping for a more welcoming reaction here. Now i remember though, this is 4chan

look, 1D10T making a toy parachute is something you should know how to do since you were about 5 years old. You don't google it, and we know this because of your question and that a quick simple google search provides instructions. you're a lazy millennial. jebus christ, the picture you posted shows exactly how to make one.

grab a trash bag
cut a square
attache string
put weight at bottom
fold carefully
toss in air

how fucking hard is that? I was doing that in pre school.

>I'm not sure whether this is a common thing on here or not.
it's not, this is kindergarten level physics
>But i'm having this project in school. We're gonna make parachutes. Mostly for calculating stuff and such for physics, but also just because the teachers want us to du stuff.
Why are you in school, learning is not for everyone, maybe you could dig ditches.
>I don't have that much to make it from, but i could probably rip an umbrella and use it's fabric. I'm pretty sure that i've got some wire lying around. I could probably make if from plasticfoil or something too, i have no idea.
Well you do have ideas you just aren't listening to them.
>Could i loan an idea of yours?
no.

try making a parachute and when it failes try a different way until you get something that works. we called this "playing" when I was a kid. it was something you did outdoors because video games and cell phones did not exist back then.

This isn't Mary Poppins.

This is really easy. I was thinking of this shit when I was little for fuck's sake.

I was making those when I was 8.

Fuck you

This board is /diy/ aka DO IT YOURSELF. Not ask people to do it for you. The way this board works is you DO IT YOURSELF, them post pics here to brag about it. Worst case scenario, you build 90% of it but don't know how to attach your chute to a live crab and need advise.

This is the part where you get educated and learn what works for a parachute and what doesn't by experimenting. In the old days, we actually experimented by hand to see firsthand how it works. Today, people can cheat and google other people's work and see the results without putting in any effort.

You're at the bottom tier of not even trying to look up other people's work.

Did this when I was in school as well, except with eggs. We had to make a parachute that would keep an egg from breaking.

All but two people made simple parachutes. One kid made some sort of crazy helicopter device, he went on to MIT, ofc. I drilled a small hole in the egg and emptied the inside, then painted over the hole to hide it.

I got an F.

I took coat hangers and made a tetrahedron shape that the egg sat inside of with some cotton batting as cushion. The coat hanger wires extended out like a pointy death machine. held together with rubber bands

>class laughs ass off
>"Anon that thing looks like shit, your egg will break hurr"
>everyone dropping parachutes
>bubblewrap
>cardboard boxes inside cardboard boxes like babushka dolls
>second to last one to drop egg
>dropped from a height of 15'
>electronic system drops device and times it
>1.01 seconds
>egg survives
>win because the competition was to drop the fastest and survive

Back when I was in grade school, we had to build a container to keep an ice cube from melting for as long as possible. It was an interesting little science project.

>Built a styrofoam body fashioned to look like the Enterprise
>Called it the NCC-1701 USS EGGTERPRISE
>Complete with silver paint, flashing port and starboard lights, and lightup nacelles
>Threw that shit over the gym roof
>Survives, because maximum science

In subsequent years, the physics teacher changed the rules so that grade is also based on percentage of egg exposed since he admits that simply grabbing a paper bag willed with styrofoam peanuts would also work.

BUT IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T REACH WARP 9
