"Air Hocky table" lifting
(OP)
I have a very heavy entertainment cabinent that needs to be moved often accross a hardwood floor built over a cement slab. I would like a design to build an "upside down" air hocky table underneath the unit to move it when necessary.
I guess I need the # of holes, size of holes and air pressure needed to lift the unit enough to easily slide it accross the floor and air pressure needed.

Anyway P=F/A
& Velocity P = (FPM/4005)^2 in inches wc
62.34 lb of water = 12" wc
Use minimum 2 x factor for the required pressure because of loss through orifice.
Be careful moving the air compressor!

Go to:
www.airbearing.com
also look up air bearings on google.
You'll get the concept.
Good Luck

Also look up on google "air casters" for numerous hits.

Depending on your location you should be able to rent one.
Be sure to check the air consumption and pressure.
I've seen some that work off a shop vacuum on the pressure side.
