How to Build a Popsicle Catapult

[21944monkey]

Genious!!

[humblemonkeyboy]

If I can get at least 500 subscribers I can make a catapult made out of wood

[zitar11]

i have to make one at least half the size of my desk :(

[coolkid3344]

yay now i can get an a in la 4 medievel times :D

[justinestalksu]

oh oops didn't realize he gives the song in the credits...

[justinestalksu]

I think this is Requiem For a Dream from LOTR :)

[WingMaster562]

@TSRAA is there a way that the "sling" wont loose? I mean is when its loose, it has low accuracy. I have made it (did all what you said but customize some parts like the cup) and i have bad time targeting and thinking what to do to make it more accurate (not loose)

sorry for my bad english, im from other country and i dont usually speak english.

[fghsthrg]

YO! CAN YOU DELETE THIS SO MY MATH TEACHER WONT KNOW I COPIED IT!??!?!?! PLEASE RESPOND TO ME!

THANKS

[secondaryscorpion]

@fghsthrg Do you HONESTLY think he'll delete it, just because you want him to? Fucking idiot.

[fghsthrg]

Thanks Man! Can I use this design? Do I have permission?

[nalepa47]

[xxheadsicxx]

dude you need a better hobbie

[TOSViolator]

Dang I was looking for a catapult that used tension in the wooden/metal arm to fling the projectile instead of rubberbands.

[gretaleeming]

how far does this go ?? like aprox

[QueenOfLoki]

I just built 1 and it works great. (Thanks for helping me with math class lol)

[houseofpotatoes]

nice video, but here in america we call them cups haha

[houseofpotatoes]

@messiraider requiem for a dream-clint mansell

[TheXxXBeastyXxX]

How much did it cost you all together for that

[XxPaNIc00xX]

lol "these are popsicle sticks obviously" xD

[Emanis12]

the music is making me nervous=}

[venomDgamer]

Can u show to do the rubberbands again

[MrMaxattacks21]

about how far does it shoot

[zombot3000]

the music is the tipe you find in british army videos

[SiriusLucrainRide]

I was looking for a video to help me build a Popsicle catapult for my Tech/Architecture class. Thanks!

[jopianes]

0:48 gay XD

[jasonrocks1100]

cool music what song and what band

[poweranger003]

You did a good job in the beginning but then you skipped like 5 steps so I had no idea you got to putting it together.

[Titleistterps]

how far does it fly in the air?

[IEatRyce]

thanks!

[shinchianlu98]

is that 1st or 2nd class of lever???

[AnimeFreakie]

@shinchianlu98 probably second class

[freehomework]

its a fact popsicle stick calapults are much more enjoyable with epic music like found in this video

[xXRawrRichRawrXx]

Whats the song?

[34killroy]

what up with the music

[Golgavar]

awwwww i cant get the vid to work :*(

[stand6666]

[runescapewarrior100]

@stand6666 Requiem For a Dream :)

[MrHeadHunter1221]

i made a 3 foot tall version for a science preoject and it was so strong that it bruised my leg like crazy

[kidmankid19]

What is the difference of a catapult and trebuchet? this vid really helped me in science class!!

[grantlarive]

i dint know thay made cups for babys get it cups lol hahaha

[ballinvballer]

make a trebuchet

[FudgeDaWhat]

Do you have any diagrams for this?

[MrSlayer250]

nice but needs bigger base for more balance



[mslovelyeyes0]

haha, like the song. so epic

[burgerkingruler]

the music is epic

[fry7471]

thats allot!! i used this for a Science Project

[gootch420]

damn I was looking for an actual mini catapult that powered by a weight not a rubber band

[TSRAA]

@gootch420 Then you are looking for a Trebuchet. And rubber bands can be pretty powerful.

[Tomartys]

@TSRAA

Lol, rubber bands can be VERY powerful, I recently created a slingshot that shoots darts that stick into hard woord, its epic...

[Tomartys]

@TSRAA

Lol, rubber bands can be VERY powerful, I recently created a slingshot that shoots darts that stick into hard woord, its epic. At the second I am posting this, I am waiting for the glue on my dart's fletchings to dry...

[max27889]

@TSRAA yeah man i have a catapult like yours and she shoots about 12 meters!

[blazerboy7772]

@gootch420 thats a trebuchet

[potatogunfreak1]

were did you get the popcicle sticks and the rubberbands?

[DeathToyPlushie]

this is actually pretty good, i might make this for a science project we have to do, to shoot a pingpong ball into a hole.. from 15feet away.. :D

[slickdawg100]

thanks a lot, i did this for a science project too :)

[zblink182]

nice thanks for the help

[Osminiscool]

ha all I heard was the Requiem For a Dream song lol

[tont0123]

Metooo plz watz the music

[GTAstuntz]

[mojsije1234]

[kvikmyndabio]

requiem for a dream

[firewolf11567]

i have a sugestion try making one bigger out of 2x4s and other materials, that'll be one killer(no joke) catapult.

[chrislls95]

where you bought that box of sticks?

[thebluefire19]

this was relly helpful if been trying to make as many things as posable

[jumpingbabyflea123]

i love the dramatic music...

[saj12100]

im going 2 build a giant 1... with 2X4s!!and bungie cords

[wedsa5]

I did hat with a couple of friends, it was about 4 feet tall and was powered by 4 large bungie cords. You'd pull them as tight as possible then pull a pin out, and wham! but it didnt work so well lol...

[MrGaara7555]

thnx for help

[PureMVGal]

Can I jhust use glue instead of a hot glue gun?

[thebluefire19]

yes u can you just havet to put a lot of cold glue

[PureMVGal]

Fml.

What are the dimensions of this? Im trying to build something 12 inch X 12 in.

[SkuLLkiDx1337]

Thanks mate :O Really helpful

[naxlalucas]

Lux aeternea

[lamemo123456789]

can it also flung a light item example a sponge if i place it in as the load?

[TSRAA]

Of course it would . The only thing is that the object you are trying to launch must fit in the cup. Ping pong balls work the best.

[MasterOfTheMasterz]

@TSRAA how far does a ping pong ball go?

[BLACKHAWK584]

The fuck?

[BLACKHAWK584]

Nevermind

[BLACKHAWK584]

What's the song?

[TSRAA]

Requiem for a Dream by Clint Mansell

[SpartanF7]

how long did it take you to build it? i'am using for my castle lmfao

[TSRAA]

10-20 minutes, you should build a whole barrage and bombard your castle with it.

[shutigal]

great video and lovely backround music , (a variation on lux aterna i believe)

[dakotaspole]

thanks for the idea for the shape my old design was horrible

[soodime]

just, soo awewsome. all ur videos are.

[kwlweapons]

some tape sorry i made a mistake

[kwlweapons]

a test wouldve been nice.. you might wanna add some stop or something to the cut popsicle stick that connects the 2 bases beacause after a while if the hit is to powerful the arm will start damaging it causing it to break ;/

[TSRAA]

Your right about that, but since I used loads of hot glue, not even my toy wooden bat could break it if I took a swat.
