Catapult

First question: What the heck is a citadel? A citadel is basically a type of fortress on high ground that is heavily fortified to protect its city. The walls were “seven to thirty feet in thickness and typically thirty to forty feet high” (Kalif 1). This helped the walls provide a solid defense. The Citadel had many parts to it to provide a solid defense against an invasion force. The keep, or citadel, was perched at the top of the hill, looking down on the city it protects and helping keep a lookout

to me, so I won’t talk about Catapult too much, only when relevant to the story. In fact, maybe I can reveal all of Catapult’s arc right now and be done with it: Catapult was not screaming because she missed her fluffy Moroccan rug. (She could sleep on anything, even atop the cast-iron radiator, when it wasn’t burning hot, her body sagging into the crenels.) She was pissed because we no longer had a TV. It took me some time to accept it, but that’s what it was. Catapult missed Netflix and Larry David

The Era of the Roman Republic and the Roman Imperium lasted for over one-thousand years, and at its peak, its territories stretched from the Atlantic to the rivers of Mesopotamia to the west and east and from the Sahara wilderness to the River Rhine in south and north. A key part that lead to this remarkable feat was the achievements accomplished by the Roman Military. The military had prospered in expanding their campaigns and had prosperously forfended the borders against peregrine invaders for

describing what the claw does. the claw would hook onto a ship and lift the front end out of the water. The ship would be destroyed and let go. Other inventions from Archimedes were mirrors that were meant to set ships on fire. Some sources say he made catapults. In the book “Great Thinkers of the Western World, the author states this, (in my own words): Every time a soldier saw a rope or board on a wall they ran in terror, thinking that Archimedes had made something new to destroy

kill. They were carried in a holster on the hip of a warrior. Spears were used on horse-back and on foot. Warriors would throw spears at enemies if they were out of range of a sword. A catapult was as deadly as a firearm, but not considered one. Catapults would fling rocks at enemies over a distance. Like a catapult a crossbow could strike from a distance. Crossbows shot arrows that could pierce armor. Cannons were the first firearm introduced around the 14th century. They shot balls of molded

Archimedes is one the most famous and ancient scientists who helped shape the world as it is today. He was born in 287 B.C. in Syracuse. While growing up, Archimedes became interested in problem solving and later went to study at the Royal Library of Alexandria. He invented the screw, pi, and founded the principle of Archimedes. Many of the things and accomplishments of Archimedes helped people in the past and continue to be the basis of many modern technological things today. One of Archimedes'

This is the total system which allows the pilot to escape and it includes components such as ejection control systems, emergency life support, and canopy / hatch jettison system. The ejector seat system consists of a number of main components: Catapult This component is used to shoot the seat upwards out of the aircraft before the rocket propulsion

horse or stab them on the horse.("Medieval Weapons."). There was attacks that they would go for a castle. They would need special weapons, they were called siege weapons. They were the mongole, battering ram, siege tower, catapult, and trebuchet. The mongole was like the catapult in the sense it launched projectiles but they were different in their design. The mongole was a giant crossbow. The siege tower was used to cross walls of castles they would make it the same height or even taller than the

In the film Gladiator directed by Ridley Scott, Rome’s military was successful in many of the battles that they participated in. Although this film isn’t specifically about Rome’s military, it still shows how the military and politics contributed to the fall of Rome accurately. Rome had a successful military until the Empire started to expand. Once the empire started to expand, it was not changing along with its surroundings. The lack of change cause the military to become disloyal and weak. Rome

A Single Stage to Orbit (SSTO) spaceplane would have many advantages over current methods of getting people and equipment into space. Chief among these is major cost reduction. SSTOs would be fully reusable, being that they are meant to send people to space and bring them back. A fully reusable single stage space plane would have an advantage over a fully reusable rocket booster, similar to what was used on the shuttle, and what is being used as the first stage on SpaceX’s Falcon 9. In fact, the
