Drop Ball Test
Which pad absorbs more energy from the ball?
Try dropping the golf ball on top of the different surfaces. What do you notice?
Why is this important?
You would have noticed that the ball bounces on some surfaces and barely bounces at all on others. The more energy the surface absorbs, the less the ball will bounce.
Energy-absorbing systems play a key role in protecting us, from cycle helmets to anti-earthquake technology in buildings!
Did you know?
Our Group is investigating the use of compressible liquids as reusable energy absorbers.
