Air Hockey – Remove The Immediate Success Friction
The original invention was an attempt to create a “smooth.” Games like football was immensely popular – but there was always a challenge to stop the ball, or a loss of momentum over time. Then a trio of engineers Brunswick began to try to formulate a way to remove friction from the equation altogether – with the hope that a game without friction would create an instant classic.
They have patented the idea, but even after years of struggle, he never gained momentum. Then, in 1972, the fourth person (Bob Lemieux) has taken the idea again. The engineers were the original basis for the concept, but had almost given up on it. But Bob was dedicated. He founded his own version of a hockey game, and initially had the disc and hammers – but got to work. The first air hockey table, which has air holes in the lower air flow, have removed most of the equation friction.
