Abstract

The construction of a two-dimensional air table is described. This is an extention of the Neher-Leighton one-dimensional air trough to two dimension. The air cushion is provided by a perforated surface placed over an air-distribution manifold. The pucks consist of solid glass disks. A special wall keeps the energy loss from the system small. The conservation laws of linear and angular momentum can easily be studied, as can the general behavior of a two-dimensional gas.
