Medieval Weapon Physics- Not a Bad Way to Spend a Weekend!
Construct your own heavy duty wooden trebuchet that will throw the included ping pong ball more than 30 feet (and heavier objects a lot farther!) Includes an exceptional step-by-step instruction guide with photos and the detailed science that makes it all possible. Made of ¾” sanded pre-cut plywood, this expertly designed physics demonstrator features a 21” long throwing arm. This 10-piece assembly kit also includes the needed hardware and a 1 kg counterweight.
Tools required (Not Included):
Elegantly conceived, this medieval weapon can hurl heavier projectiles much further than is possible with more complicated siege engines. The key to this success is the efficiency with which the gravitational potential energy of the counter weight can be converted to kinetic energy of the projectile. This kit explores the simple concepts of energy transformation with thrilling effect!
