EN This article introduces a Lagrangian equation notation of the second kind for a tennis ball launcher, providing a comprehensive analysis of the system’s energy dynamics. In the initial segment, all energy types within the system were meticulously considered and incorporated into the formulas, culminating in the formulation of a Lagrangian equation of the second kind. The second part of the paper focuses on solving the derived equation. This involved determining the maximum torque within the system, subsequently enabling the calculation of the maximum drive power required for the launcher system. The outcome of these calculations facilitates the selection of an optimal electric drive motor for the device. By accounting for various energy components and employing Lagrangian equations, this study offers a systematic approach to understanding the energy dynamics of a tennis ball launcher. Determining maximum torque and drive power is a crucial step in the design process, allowing for the strategic selection of components to achieve optimal performance. The presented Lagrangian equation notation contributes to the literature on sports device development, providing a novel and comprehensive methodology for analyzing and optimizing the energy aspects of a tennis ball launcher. This research lays the foundation for future work in refining and enhancing the efficiency of sports training equipment.
