Basic research - golf ball impact - elastic/inelastic
« on: May 25, 2009, 01:35:02 AM »
Has anyone put thought into or put to the test the ability of a golf ball when fired to bounce with great resiliance from a hard surface?

One could put it at an angle (the plate) so the golf ball goes to one side or UP.  We could have a whole variety of new cannon games - billiards, pup-up, etc.   :D

If you move your tube around and have a large enough field of play you could play 18 plates.   ;D

And with a SET of different sized plates (tuned of course), one COULD compose and play MUSIC!!   ;D

How many cannon would you need for the Star Spangled Banner?

I have a little bit of experience with unplanned returning golf balls. It's only fun afterwords.
I may not be completely sane, but at least I don't think I have the power to influence the weather.

We've had a few too.  Fortunately going UP and coming down gently.  (But I do know first hand how deep a fragment from a .303 British will penetrate after hitting steel.)

It depends on how fast one can reload!   ;D
