Ballista

Do you know how a catapult works? It uses a weight or tension. According to research, you need a projectile lighter than the weight to launch the projectile. If the weight is too light it won’t launch the projectile. To see if if it’s heavy enough, you can weigh it. What is a catapult you might ask… Well, a catapult launches a projectile from one place to another, from the weight/tension of the rubber band or weight of metal that’s going to make the object get pulled from the weight of the object

First in the design process was developing the concept solutions. The Catapult and the Side Catapult (II & III in Fig. 1) were a classic design that had potential to be modified with a string pull trigger. The Spinner and the Shooter (I & IV in Fig.1) resembled the design of toys that shoot a foam disc similar the competition projectile. Our Datum for the decision matrix (VI in Fig.1) is a ramp with a spring-loaded striker to propel the disc. The Pin model is a hybrid of the Shooter and the Datum

Catapults were ballistic devices. It was invented by a man named “Dionysius the Elder” and created it around 400 BCE. Since then it was a key weapon in warfare. The way it works is that a piece of wood called the arm was connected to a cup shaped bowl but another name for it was a bucket. The bucket was meant for holding the object you wanted to launch. The objects people decided to launch whatever it was it was called the payload. The arm connected to the bucket is laid flat down and springs vertically

The problem that our catapult solves is that it launches object without the use of relatively dangerous elements, like fire and gas. Also catapults solve the dilemma of a achy shoulders, because without a catapult one would need to go out of their way to launch something. But with a catapult they simple need to pull back the spoon to create energy.

The Roman army was the most powerful war machine of its time and arguably many others. It is this vast war machine that facilitated the Roman Empire and its creation. I call the Roman army a war machine because of the meticulous organization the army displayed, organization so thorough it mimics the individual cogs and gears in a machine working in perfect unison to achieve a common goal. The roman army was responsible for developing revolutionary fighting techniques which not only secured Rome’s

different, but there were three main types, which are Ballista, Mangonel, and Trebuchet.

According to Roman mythology, Roman “warfare” started all the way back with Romulus and Remus. It is said that the two brothers fought against each other, therefore making the first Roman battle. Rome was a peaceful place until the leaders of Rome decided to try to conquer neighboring countries. Roman warfare went on for centuries over bountiful amounts of territories. Over all of these battles the Romans won an amazing amount of those battles. The Romans were usually superior not only in numbers

“A ballista is an ancient military siege engine in the form of a crossbow. Typically it was used to hurl large bolts, and had better accuracy than a catapult at the expense of reduced range.” (What is a ballista) A trebuchet uses man power to fire. “A trebuchet [nb 1] (French trébuchet) is a type of siege engine most frequently used in the Middle Ages. It

another in an action movie. However, catapults have a long and intricate history that twists and binds with our own, dating all the way back to 399 B.C. First documented by the Greek historian, Diodorus Siculus, in the form of an early design for the Ballista (type of catapult). Catapults were a staple for siege warfare all throughout history. The catapult was used by many different cultures, notably the Greeks, Roman, and Chinese in siege warfare; also

more effective. A good example of this is the Gladius, a common sword among roman legions almost every person had one was actually a sword from Spain that the Romans found powerful. Other weapons that the Romans took in include the pilum, javelin, ballista, crossbow, and hasta. Some strategies the Romans used were inspired by the strategies of fallen enemies that the commander had seen and could implement correctly. The Idea of the legion itself was originally Greek the Greek hoplites were technically
