The Linear Air Track facilitates the study of mechanics, both quantitatively and qualitatively, by providing an almost friction free system on which a large range of experiments may be performed.
A long straight 90° triangular shaped tube is mounted on three adjustable feet so that the tube can be made level. The sloping sides of this tube have small holes drilled and air is pumped into the tube from an air blower. Air passes out the small holes in the sloping sides.
Anodised aluminium gliders with a 90° internal angle are placed on the air tube and they float on the air passing from the holes. They slide back and forth on the tube with almost zero friction. Spring bumpers are fitted to the ends of the gliders so that when they collide they rebound with almost zero lost energy.
