AI Thread Summary
Data on the performance of composite hockey sticks compared to wooden ones focuses on factors like spring stiffness and the coefficient of restitution, which indicates that composites hit harder and further. Research on similar sports equipment, such as baseball bats, may provide relevant insights. Exact compositions and manufacturing details of hockey sticks are typically proprietary and not publicly available. Clarification is needed on whether the inquiry pertains to field or ice hockey. Resources like academic papers and specific books can offer valuable equations and terms related to stick performance.

Can anyone suggest where I can geet data on hockey composition - I have been everywhere
Thanks

Sorry what do you mean?
The famous 'hockey stick' curve - rise in CO2/temperature levels and climate change
or the material that a hockey stick is made from?
 
hi, no i need data on how composite hockey sticks hit further and with more power than their wooden equivalent. thank you.
 
Think in terms of spring stiffness - there's probably lots of papers/research on baseball bats = same principle.
 
Coefficient of restitution of the stick is higher for composites. They also tend to be stiffer. you are unlikely to find any exact compositions or manufacturing data for real sticks as companies keep that to themselves.

Also just to clarify are you taling about field or ice hockey?.http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=...=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1#PPA81,M1

You don't need to read all of it just look for the power equation. That'll give you all the terms that count.

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'
Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...
Maxwell’s equations imply the following wave equation for the electric field $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}}{\partial t^2} = \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}\nabla\rho+\mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf J}{\partial t}.\tag{1}$$ I wonder if eqn.##(1)## can be split into the following transverse part $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}_T-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}_T}{\partial t^2} = \mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf{J}_T}{\partial t}\tag{2}$$ and longitudinal part...
