Abstract
Described are balls for a ball sport, wherein the ball includes at least one heating element.
Claims25
A ball for a ball sport comprising:
- at least one heating element arranged inside the ball and substantially at a geometric center of the ball;
- and
- a regulator arranged inside the ball suitable for regulating a current for heating the at least one heating element in such a manner that a temperature of the ball substantially reaches a predetermined value,
- wherein the regulator constantly regulates the current provided to the at least one heating element when the ball is used from zero to a maximum available current.

A ball for a ball sport comprising:
- at least one heating element arranged inside the ball and substantially at a geometric center of the ball;
- at least one electrical power source;
- and
- a regulator arranged inside the ball suitable for regulating a current for heating the at least one heating element in such a manner that a temperature of the ball substantially reaches a predetermined value, wherein:
- the at least one electrical power source provides an electrical current for heating the at least one heating element and with which it is electrically connected;
- and
- the temperature of the ball is a temperature of a filler gas of the ball or a temperature of the outer casing of the ball.
