We are three guys from Sweden who made a Floating Arm Trebuchet as a school project. This is the most effecient catapult design known today. We managed to throw a 0.5 kg (1, 1 lb) projektile 110 meters (361 ft), this gave us an effeicency of 41 %. Our counter weights were made out of concrete and ha...
This is a peculiar mid-sized trebuchet I made using a bowling ball and parts from an old bicycle. It works quite well. A complete tutorial with pictures and blueprints is on my website. Check out the section on Trebuchet Projects: About my Channel: I have hundreds of videos covering all kinds of cre...
Complete plans for building a real working trebuchet. Impress your friends (including that fair damsel in your life) when you hurl melons, toasters, pumpkins, small animals (just kidding), balls and those dreaded fruitcakes, the length of a football field...
Brief explanation of the design, how we built and the launching of our small torsion Catapult / Onager Catapult. Design based on Roman Built Siege engine. We built for Science Project. We named it Testudo. We experimented with different launch angles...
Poplar frame and ash throwing arm. 4:1 Beam Ratio, 36 1/2" Throwing Arm, 24" axle height, Counterweight=20 lbs., can also be use as a fixed CW with or without wheels and a hinged CW with wheels. See other videos for different configurations...
My friend's daughter, who is also one of my karate students got to build a trebuchet for a class catapult contest at her school, so I offered to help. This is how it turned out. We need to add some heavier counterweights and it will fly much farther. We got ideas for the design from this very helpfu...

Download/DVD: This video explains the science behind a trebuchet. The trebuchet is a medieval machine designed to throw objects at or into castles. This video explains that the gravitational potential energy stored in the raised counterweight is converted into kinetic energy in the projectile. Trebu...
Today we have a look at a modern design for a Trebuchet that still works with Medieval Engineers parts. The Floating Arm Trebuchet. Really hope we get the hooks and sling parts to make trebuchets work properly soon because this should be a super efficient design. For now though it's a kinda weak cat...
Mike Senese, host of the 2009 Punkin Chunkin, conducts this interview about the trebuchet being built at the Craftsman Experience. Joseph Budka of Pagoda Studios is building the catapult-like medieval siege weapon, and describes the catastrophic failures endured along the way. Joseph dives into the ...

Shoots a golf ball 560 feet (my latest numbers are over 1200 feet - see 1200 foot+ golfball trebuchet). These are the first shots from a new 5 armed MURLIN (multi-radius linear nodes) trebuchet designed to shoot golf balls. Counterweights progress from 7.5 to 30 lb. Device is designed for 37.5 lb ma...

This is a brief tutorial on trebuchet physics and useful tricks to make your trebuchet throw farther. Much of this isn't obvious if you're new to trebuchets and I overlooked many of the key energy transfer methods when I was starting out. Hopefully, this will help you optimize your trebuchet In this...

This floating arm trebuchet was made for a school project. It's extremely powerful. Although the longest throw was 206 feet with a baseball, The trajectory was WAY too steep and went something like 100 feet in the air. After we lower the trajectory I'm guessing about 350 feet with only about 50 poun...

We built two small trebuchets for a school project a couple years back. They use a cigar box filled with lead shot for a counterweight, are made of oak, and use a wheel and free-hanging counterweight design. This allows the trebuchet to function with a smoother motion, and more efficient use of the ...
A video showing my desktop trebuchet, designed to fire gumballs.
