Accessory for the air track (195050).
Combined with the switch box (198510), this launcher allows for a reproducible release of the air track glider. In the launch moment the switchbox sends an electric pulse to an electronic timer (200250). Instead of the large timer, you can use SpeedGates (197570) with a signal limiter (198512).
The launcher consists of a 1600 windings coil, an iron core with finger screw, and a keeper with 4 mm plug. The iron core is mounted at the end of the air track. The plug of the keeper fits the glider. The coil is placed around the core.
In itself, the electric launcher cause only a release of the glider (i.e. motion without initial speed). To obtain a launch with initial velocity > 0, one of the rubber band bumpers from the air track can be mounted on the launcher.
The power supply for the coil must be capable of supplying 12 V and 0.5 A DC.
