ABSTRACT:
The sports object launcher is an air pressure powered fluid control valve with an aiming channel to direct a ball or hockey puck to a specific target. A simple commonly available throttling control fluid control valve is connected to a pressure vessel to provide air pressure. The outlet end of the fluid control valve is connected to a rectangular aiming channel in the case of hockey. When the fluid control valve is released, the released pressure launches the hockey puck out the exit end of the aiming channel. The aiming channel may be controlled to provide specific aiming when practicing a particular sport. In the case of use with hockey the air pressure system may be used to power air cylinders and control valves to position the aiming channel.
