A trebuchet is a machine designed using essentially the natural forces of gravity‚ centrifugal force‚ and leverage to perform unique engineering “hurling” magic the trebuchet was used in the middle evil times and they also use a trebuchet in the national pumpkin chucking contest that they have every year in Bridgeville DE. The trebuchet has a weight‚ swing arm‚ pivot‚ sling bag‚ sling release‚ sling lines‚ and a platform. In the middle evil times they were used to kill enemies in wars and they were

History The traction trebuchet is believed to be an ancient war engine which was invented in China in 300BC. It is thought that the trebuchet may have developed from the stave sling. In the traction trebuchet a large troop of men pulled down on ropes to propel the missile. The trebuchet reached Europe during the Medieval era in 500 AD and was used extensively by the French and the troop of men were replaced with a large fixed‚ or pivoting‚ counterbalance weight. The Trebuchet (Trebuchet) was introduced

The trebuchet is a type of siege engine originating in China sometime before the fourth century and used primarily during battle throughout the middle ages. This large artillery weapon worked by launching projectiles great distances to destroy walls to rubble or to throw diseased corpses over castle wall. One of the first documented use of a trebuchet was a traction trebuchet used at the Battle of Caishi in 1161‚ where trebuchets operated by the Song Dynasty fired bombs composed of lime and sulfur

Experimental Procedure The best way to start an experiment is to ask a question. Our question is‚ “What is a trebuchet?” In answering this question‚ we will investigate nearly every aspect of a trebuchet‚ including but not limited to history‚ design‚ build‚ and theory. Our experiment was started with the help of a packet which contained much of this information‚ therefore the only thing that needed to be completed was the design and build‚ and the work that follows-testing‚ demonstrating

Science 8th December 16‚ 2012 “Types of Catapults” * Trebuchet- “The word "Trebuchet" is originally French‚ and meant something like "to fall over or rotate about the middle" as in a see-saw rotating on its axle. It also seems to have meant a big‚ heavy beam. Today a Trebuchet is any kind of catapult that is powered by a massive counterweight on one end of an arm‚ and a sling on the other end. This includes Perriers‚ or "traction" trebuchets which are powered by a mass of people pulling one end

However its accuracy was great it lacked the power of the Mangonel and the Trebuchet. The Springald’s design is close to that of the ballista‚ it was a crossbow propelled by tension. The Springald’s frame was more compact‚ allowing for use inside small spaces‚ such as the inside of a castle or tower. Also it was the second one built

fortifications in siege warfare. A catapult was one of the approximately 10 weapons used in siege warfare during an assault on a castle or fortification. Some other weapons used in both ancient and medieval siege warfare included the well known trebuchet‚ the classic battering ram‚ and the siege tower. All of these devices and their relatives were used both in ancient and medieval times in large numbers‚ and to their users utter enjoyment‚ and they remained effective for ages‚ despite an opponent’s
