Abstrakt

The present contribution presents the development of a teaching tool for two-
dimensional mechanics. A Low Cost 2D-Hover Puck has been designed and engineered, with
which gravitational effects are locked out and motion in two dimensions can be shown.
A horizontally aligned fan is mounted on top of the Hover Puck and provides constant acceler-
ation. Now, experiments about motion with initial velocity and a constant acceleration in an
arbitrary direction can be conducted by students or teachers. Due to the simple and inexpensive
design, the Hover Puck can be assembled by students, by almost only using household objects
and is therefore ideal for school.
