The big Origami container test.

This was actually a test for Waterbombs. I remembered these from ages ago when I was in school, used to make them in Science and definitely as part of the lesson.. But my main interest was the fact they held water well and were made from paper, so I got out the cartridge paper and went for it made an A1 version, filled it with water and gave it a test.

This is just the design before you bow air into the hole to inflate the "Balloon".




Me Ben and Liam filling it up to see how it went, unfortunately pretty sure we over filled it because it actually started to leak in one corner. Bad sign for paper but we did load it pretty full so I went ahead with testing it.



 Cheeky video of throwing it to see how it would actually do in turn of impacting with the ground, see how durable it would be incase the drinks product was dropped. As you can probably see it didn't exactly hold up too well...

Splat?

Just because I was intrigued by how much water it took to actually make it leak, I want to take this further, to try one that is potentially a little more sturdy, so the same general design but with a little extra added on to make it stronger.
