Physics Trebuchet (the PUNISHER)

[lavix45]

wheeles would turn that rocking energy into an increase in throwing power

[countrygentleman10]

This in Santa Barbara??

[Ponder144]

wow!!!!!!!

that is very good

trebuchet

[Ponder144]

wow!!!!!!!

that is very goo trebuchet

[Ponder144]

wow!!!!!!!



[mike88206]

i love this song nice job

[mike88206]

THE PUNIS..... steve get your fucking head out of the way im trying to have a serious moment

[Aceseen]

LOL at 2:37 the guy is spitting a runner xD

[XmetalguitarboiX]

whats the song? how much did this cost?

[iliketoplayguitar7]

till i collapse, by eminem

[mrcornchip]

song is till i collapse by eminem

You could have the counter-weight on a longer beam, you would generate more force(distance to the fulcrum etc)but it would exacerbate the rocking, the swinging box design looks very effective at reducing that though

[dtevans11]

if u put wheels on it it will prevent it from rocking and also possibly make it go further

[BirdValiant]

Either that or the swinging box design.

[Naliano]

@dtevans11 It would recoil, sapping downrange energy. Instead pin or tie it down.

[DTisnumba1]

you need to lose the pouch....have a strong string, wrap it around the projectile and duct tape it and glue it....it will go much farther....your losing energy as friction

[thevoicecourse1]

hey this is at prep! =D(my school)

[Bliff22]

bad music, nise trebuchet

[ANK98]

how did you get a strong axel like that one and how does it rotate with those metal clmps on it.

[arabzrule]

actually, i think that it's not the axel that rotates but it's the arm that turn around it..i think that would cause the trebuchet to lunch at a shorter distance.

[flyrocket14]

For this type of trebuchet you need wheels. thats why the thing tips over a little and with wheels it'll provide a greater thrust to the object being thrown.

[TheRealTrooper]

as if you get to make trebuchets in physics class lol, all we get to do is shine light through glass lol :(

[turtlesoup06]

Ye im in high school and weve been looking for a way to dispose of a few pumpkins. do u have blue prints u could email me

[awol09]

wouldent be that hard to make by just sight. if you say the height of the axle is 6 feet, you can use trig to find everything else you need. the throwing arm would need to be about a 4 to 1 ratio for max distance, so if you say the short side is 4 ft, the whole length would be 20 ft.

[JamesThWilliams]

There is more to consider than that, hence the use of physics. The length of the sling and the angle of the pin holding the sling greatly effect how far the projectile goes.

[FishyFish55]

This is a trebuchet, and no, a hinged counterweight does not always throw farther, but they often do because fixed counterweight trebs are harder to tune.

[emoragix]

This is not a trébuchet but a mangonneau lol cool ^^ ++

[bikeloon]

get your facts straight and learn to spell!!

This is a trebuchet

[akitist]

The French call this a mangonneau. Americans say it's a fixed counterweight trebuchet. How do I know emoragix is French? By the accent aigu.

[Limpfittz]

you DO know that if u had used a counterweight that wiggles on the arm, the ball would have flown even further.. The circle counterweight u are using is not a bad way to counther weight the arm, but not exactly the right way.

[titsenteiser]

hi,

nice trebuchet! i am from belgium and i wanna make one for school. Do you have a plan? That i can use?

Please answer. Thanks titsenteiser.

[mdonald]

I know I misspelled "the beginning" but I made this at 2 in the morning and I'm too lazy to fix it now
