Friction wheel for ping pong ball

Hello, I would like, as part of my teminal project, to create a friction wheel in order to throw a ping pong ball. Does anyone have an idea of how to do it.

N.B.: I'm on solidworks 2015 and here's an overview of what I have so far:

it's good but by your tree of creation we can't see anything

You have to do the right button, save the image as.
 

A compressed air system would be better...

To see the image, you need to save it.

Otherwise, sbadenis, I'm asked for a solidworks simulation...

Hello

 

Rather minimalist as a study, it reminds me of a message I posted not long ago.

Depending on what I see the ball is going to go anywhere.

An idea:

A tube to guide the ball

A tube tip 2/3 open to orient the opening up or down.

A foam roller type paint roller on the top (or bottom) driven by a motor.

And that's it, by changing the speed of the motor, you change the speed, and by placing the foam roller below or above, you change the effect.

For bullet info = Ø40mm

I made some changes, but I don't understand what constraints I have to put on...

I have some news: I added a wheel and an arm to move my piston but mtn I try to animate it with a motion study. Only, when I try to move my piston so that it pushes the ball, it's as if it hit it, and it doesn't stay stuck to the end...

I don't understand why with the animation, even when I put a contact between my piston and my bullet, the piston goes through ...

Hello

Where are you with your project?

Did you succeed?

No, nothing new I'll try to see what I can do
