Homemade Trebuchet

[rocketboyroswell]

Nice work... My son is building one for his MESA Club project. This is the easiest model to use. Simple is always the best. We are using some of your ideas. Good work to get the result you want.

[superskater000000]

how much did your weights weigh?

[kowboytrey]

I want to make a trebuchet but what do i use for weights on the end of my arm and how much weight do i use ? i am going to be flinging snowballs

[unseen370]

@kowboytrey you gonna want the weight to be 200-300 times the weight of the projectile for the maximum effect, preffeberally 300

[MJFAN666]

@unseen370 133 is the ratio mate.

[unseen370]

@MJFAN666 they actuall work better if u adjust the release andgle and then bump the ratio up to 200:1

[MJFAN666]

@unseen370 I madeone a while a go, small one... its shyt loll. The thing is I can't find something leggit to use as missile..

[unseen370]

@MJFAN666 if its small as in a foot and a half with the arm up, then grapes might work, you can also try marbles for somthing heaver

[MJFAN666]

@unseen370 its horrible haha, I didn't even do it witth any measurements or ratio. only trial and error. I didn't even know the ratios! I will look at it again when I have time. I worked on it during the march break. No time anymore. Don't judge me man! If I had the time and the equipment, I would have conquered the world by now. :P

[jerseyst1]

im going to copy this so i can fling snowballs in a war

[nohighlow]

type nohighlow into the youtube search if you want to see another trebuchet, science rules, and this dude has a really cool trebuchet! hopefully you build one of your own, our video will be titled do not attempt this at home!

[brikfilm]

Thumds up if you know what M3 is

[brikfilm]

[xboxnerd786]

[toncheky]

this my home made trebuchet..in video responses...i improved it and it flings a rock 2x more far then i this video...i didnt make a video yet but expect it soon...your trebuchet is cool...my is not fancy looking but it flings pretty well

[Crox300]

Nice, but too small.

[thatsmyrail]

Allready good to besiege the neighbours.

[ihoy9yoy]

try evening out the base and using some scrap pine wood, for the base, and for weight a basket helps provide outward momentum, oo and also, wheels help a bunch, try those and you should see it resulting in overall farther lauches,

good job tho

[inytay1]

you should see my homrmade trebuchet vidio

[rabbitfufu]

How much weight did u use?

You should see improvement if you lighten the arm (just like a graphite golf club shaft)

[inytay1]

sorry i erased it i was exparamenting in my original comment i said it was a tennis ball but whith the roll but there pretty much the same

[Mikemc]

Pretty good for its size :)

[inytay1]

i lounched a base ball instead it's for a sciance project

[inytay1]

now whith the adustments we measured it it went 107 ft yours was the main vidio i looked at to make mine thanks.

[inytay1]

about

[inytay1]

obut 40 50 ft

[inytay1]

thanks for the whght idea im using it on mine and i will try to give you the results

[SuperAwesomeWoWKid]

Smart ass! " Technically it's a regulation T-ball."

[inytay1]

cool

[louiscoollol]

prety simple and nice good vid

[HomeDistiller]

you will be losing lots of energy because the weight needs to be hanging so it can swing.. that little "hop" that id did in your vid should disappear imagine a big one with that it would last one shot and fall to bits.. you would even get better a better throw if you put it on wheel so it can roll back and forwards

[gnittucmot]

so simple nice 1,...check mine out!:D

[cookclan]

never though about using weights on a trebuchet but what ever works for you

[noshadow1324]

yes it is simple... lol.

[codyvong]
