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...

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...

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...

Physics Day Project with My Daughter. Concept: Build and test a trebuchet-type of launching device capable of flinging a practice golf ball Materials: Use only materials that would have been available to an inventive Medieval inventor: glue, metals, wood, natural fiber. (no plastics or rubber) Size:...
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...
Modern engineers and expert historians team together to try and replicate engineering feats of the past. In the first episode, the trebuchet, the most deadly WMD of the medieval era.

Westley Skogen builds and tests a 25 foot tall medieval style trebuchet. A trebuchet was first designed as a weapon of war, utilizing a sling release system as oppose to a catapults fixed arm. This particular trebuchet was featured in two local newspapers. The Marshall Independent and the Canby News...
In this video, I use pencils, floss, paper clips, and scotch tape to construct a table top trebuchet. Hopefully, this will show you how to use square and diagonal lashings to tie the pencils together to make a frame as well as give you guidelines for tuning. However, if you want additional informati...

As a response to a request i have made a video showing how to create a floating arm trebuchet. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT MAKE THIS TREBUCHET WITHOUT A FIRING MECHANISM. I created a trapdoor like device for mine. there are many different types of firing mechanisms so you can design your own...
A quick video recap of the Trebuchet Building Campout Troop 60 had in November 2012. Scouts were spilt up into teams and given a day to use all their knowledge of ropes, lashings along with their creativity and build a device to catapult an object further than its competitors...
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 ...
