Hockey Pucks
Is there any way to prevent the air hockey pucks from flying off the table?
We like to play with 2 pucks; it's more challenging =}
Is there anywhere that sells pucks? And how do we keep them from flying off the table? They are consistently flying off and getting lost everywher ein our disorganized basement..
Buy heavier pucks. They fly up when they get moving fast, the bubble of air underneath them allows the incoming flowing air to lift the leading edge and the puck will fly.
Don't use damaged pucks. The chipped and dinged edges will allow it to flip and fly more easily.
Make sure to clean the surface of both the puck and air nozzles. Clogged nozzles or dirt on the surface can cause irregular flight which can again make it easier to flip and fly.
Try taping a quarter to the center of the puck on the top to add weight. You may not get as good of a glide, however, since the bubble of air will be reduced. Play around with weights to get the balance required.
Since all tables blow with different amounts of pressure (which depends on the motor, the number of holes, how clean the nozzles are, etc), they can't make a puck that is optimized without spending lots of cash. Notice how in bars and arcades the pucks are larger and heavier? I've found they're also less easily thrown off the table, though many tables do have some glass guards to keep spectators alive.
