A Super Ball or Superball is a toy bouncy ball based on a type of synthetic rubber invented in 1964 by chemist Norman Stingley. It is an extremely elastic ball made of Zectron, [ 1 ] which contains the synthetic polymer polybutadiene as well as hydrated silica , zinc oxide , stearic acid , and other ingredients. [ 2 ]
We may finally have an answer to that age-old chicken or the egg question. A group of students from Chiba, Japan have done the unthinkable, turning a shell-less egg into a normal, healthy baby chick.
The bounce of an oval-shaped ball (such as those used in gridiron football or rugby football) is in general much less predictable than the bounce of a spherical ball. Depending on the ball's alignment at impact, the normal force can act ahead or behind the centre of mass of the ball, and friction from the ground will depend on the alignment of ...
A superball or power ball is a bouncy ball composed of a type of synthetic rubber (originally a hard elastomer polybutadiene alloy named Zectron) invented in 1964, which has a higher coefficient of restitution (0.92) than older balls such as the Spaldeen so that when dropped from a moderate height onto a level hard surface, it will bounce nearly all the way back up.
