Tennis Ball Launcher

Regular price $28,200.00
/

See how high — and how accurately — you can propel a tennis ball into the air with this memorable exhibit about basic laws of physics and pneumatics. The Tennis Ball Launcher has users pull a rope to lift and drop a bowling ball placed inside an acrylic cylinder. As the bowling ball falls, it squeezes (or compresses) the air below it through a metal tube connected to another cylinder holding a tennis ball. The incoming air particles hurl against the tennis ball, launching it upward. Guests can control the height of the launch by an air valve, getting a chance to play and experiment with the simple-but-mighty power of air pressure.

Materials

High Density Polyethylene

High density polyethylene is a durable polymer and a preferred choice for many commercial applications due to its superior flatness and durability.  This environmentally stabilized material is scratch resistant, waterproof, and can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth of sponge. 


Painted Steel 

The steel base is finished with acrylic polyurethane paint in the color of your choice. This two-component catalyzed coating system provides unsurpassed color retention, wear protection, and durability.


Aluminum Tubing

This corrosion resistant extruded tubing is an ideal material for fabrication due to its high strength to weight ratio.  The lustrous brushed finish provides a brilliant aesthetic for any space.
