Trebuchet

called a trebuchet is it cheap and easy to put together, it is not very dangerous so don't let your parents tell you what it is and isn't take up your trebuchet that you built and take control The Trebuchet was a weapon built during the siege age( Medieval era). This weapon was similar to the catapult or stave sling. This weapon was used to throw heavy stone to smash castle or city walls. The name trebuchet is old french word tribucher or meaning throw over. The chinese invented the trebuchet in the

that the longer the arm ratio, the further the horizontal displacement will be. During testing, videos were taken of the trebuchet in action. This was used to calculate the launch velocity and various angles. The calculations for this, shown in Appendix 1, are somewhat reliable but may be inaccurate in some areas. The theoretical calculation for output force from the trebuchet arm was calculated (Appendix 3) and the result was compared to the result from the

A Trebuchet is a weapon used during the medieval ages in siege warfare. The trebuchet was used for the defense of towns, strongholds, and cities. First the materials used to build medieval trebuchets. Second the origins of trebuchets. Third how trebuchets were transported. Fourth the ancient trebuchet King Warwolf. Finally the end of an era. The materials used to build the medieval trebuchets. The early trebuchets were made of straight, heavy oak logs. These logs would have been held together

Never in my life would I have thought I’d be asked to build a trebuchet. Let alone did I know what this contraption was. As I sat questioning how on earth I’d manage to built it, Joseph Moulton looked over to me and asked if we wanted to be partners. A wave of relief came over me because I knew that even if neither of us had any clue as to how to build a trebuchet, we would figure it out together. One thing that worked really well for our group was that between Joseph and I, we had almost all

The earliest trebuchets were ‘traction trebuchets’, which were developed in China in the 4th Century B.C.E. Traction trebuchets used human labor instead of a counterweight for power. The Chinese needed so much power for the trebuchet that they had up to 250 soldiers pulling on ropes to operate the machine. This machine could throw stones up to 100 meters, but was not very accurate, because of the inconsistency in using manpower. The first addition to the trebuchet was a major advancement in technology

Effect of a Trebuchet Arm Length or Counterweight Mass on Projectile Distance A trebuchet is a siege weapon most commonly used in the middle ages. It uses gravity to propel an object. There are competitions held today called "Pumpkin Chunkin '" which use trebuchets to launch pumpkins as far as possible. The common question is what the dimensions should be when making it. Should the arm be longer or shorter? Should the counterweight be heavier or lighter? These questions have been asked by competitors

hypothesis and practice. The base of the Trebuchet underpins the skim track and the tower bolster outline. The base must be solid and stable to bolster the "whipping" exchange of vitality when the shot is propelled. The coast track, whereupon the sling saddle will slide toward the start of the toss, is connected to the base. Moreover, the bolster casing is likewise appended to the base. What's more, if the configuration joins wheels, which make the trebuchet compact as well as enhance execution, then

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 is sometimes called a counterweight trebuchet or counterpoise trebuchet, to distinguish it from an earlier weapon called the traction trebuchet, where men pulling ropes provided the power.” (What is a trebuchet wiki) Finally there is the mangonel catapult which first large objects at

going to build a trebuchet to learn more about Newtons Laws of Motion and how these simple yet complex machines ruled the battlefields in the middle ages. I became interested in this topic because I am fascinated by middle aged weaponry and machines. This will be beneficial to my knowledge to help me understand Newtons Laws of Motion and about these giant machines. I believe that learning more about Newtons Laws of Motion may help to explain why different designs affect the trebuchets range and power

instance, there is the Trebuchet, there are the battlements (Merlins and Embrasures), the catapults, and much more! I'll be telling you how these warfare techniques have changed the construction of the castles!! The first thing I will be telling you about is the Trebuchet, A trebuchet is a catapult-like engine which uses a swinging arm to throw a projectile at the enemy. It is used to throw rocks (Boulders), dead animals and humans, fireballs, and much more things. Trebuchets were apart of the attacking-defending
