The Slingshot: Improving the Modern Hockey Stick
| Division: | Health Sciences / None | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Bay Area | | City: | Dundas, ON | | School: | Canadian Martyrs E.S. | | Abstract: | Experiments were performed to determine how a hockey stick’s balance altered its ability to transfer energy. An apparatus was designed to swing a stick and strike a wooden rod. Roller bearings were allowed to move within the stick to change the weight distribution as the stick is swung. The travel of the wooden rod was measured. There is an optimum balance for best energy transfer. |
