Though a ball launcher isn’t an innovative devise, it’s the pedal powered one that’s new to the world of sports and games. Squeezing in a green element to fun and play, this machine will appeal to tennis players with a green thumb. Originally evolved for a pedal powered machine contest Innovate or Die, the designer has bought this Pedal Powered Tennis Ball Launcher to everyone’s notice in this video. Using two recycled bicycles, scrap steel, wood, leaking 5 gallon water jug and a lacross stick, this ball launcher allows players varying in skill levels to practice to be better at both tennis and cycling. Isn’t that striking two birds with one stone? Pedaling the cycle as one would on a trainer drives the two launcher wheels. The cyclist then aims using the bike handlebars to and pulls the lever to launch balls to the hitter. Unfortunately step by step isn’t given so you need to watch the video closely with lots of pauses to try to get a hang of the making.
