Relaxation by Extreme Electromagnetic Games

This student examined the swinging stroke of golfers during early evenings at a specific golfing range.
He identified that salary men do this activity for releasing stress. Using the research of the shifting
weight distribution of the body during the swinging of a golf club, this student developed a ball cage
that is controlled by the shifting weight of the person inside the ball. At the moment before the ball
enters the range, climate-monitoring technology captures data from the overhead weather pattern.
Proposing that the driving range is embedded with electromagnetic technology, the weather pattern
information is then transferred to information that controls varying points of magnetic force on the
surface of the park. An invisible topography is created that is perceived only through varied magnetic
force felt through the friction on the ball. Additional uses of electromagnetic technology are proposed
in a monorail track system on the parameter of the park. This returns the ball/cage and its operator to
the launching pad.
