    When Leonardo da Vinci wasn't busy painting, sculpting or otherwise being brilliant, he spent his free time drawing mechanical throwing machines. Now you can match wits with da Vinci and put your coordination skills to the test with this build-it-yourself, working re-creation of his 15th Century catapult. With just an hour of assembly time, this bad boy can hurl a small clay ball over four meters, which comes in handy for ambushing pesky kid brothers or protecting cubicles from annoying coworkers. All pieces are pre-cut and made with natural, untreated wood from sustainable forests.

      @@BigChungusTheMaker 🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️
      🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
      🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
      🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
      🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
      🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
      🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
      📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚
      🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
      🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

    just bought one of these from my local hobby lobby. weighted it down with pennies and now it's strong enough to smash old windows across the backyard. I found the heaviest thing you can shoot far is a steel marble

  • @brheath65
    @brheath65 Před rokem +1

    I built one of these with my grandson. We had a lot of fun doing it. I would recommend it as a project to do together. We weighted it with rocks and could shoot the clay ball 20 feet or so. We, of course, tried shooting different things. A rock went only a few feet. A ping pong ball went 20 feet. It was fun that it brought up so many questions with a chance to experiment and then dig into the principles with him.

    Three things wrong with Leo Vinny. The swing arm should be supported by two post. The entire trebuchet must be mounted on wheels. You should have the release pin adjustable.

  • @1999colebug
    @1999colebug Před 7 lety

    So to make this actually efficient you'd have to calculate how much that release string is pulling on the trebuchet to get an effective weight ratio of 1:133. (You need more weight to account for wind up thingy)

  • @archstanton8421
    @archstanton8421 Před 7 lety +3

    I've built it, but when I pull the string to release the arm, the catapult swings round and at the top of its circle it drops the clay ball out, straight down. It shouldn't drop it. I can't get it to throw the ball forwards. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

    • @r_angel_ov
      @r_angel_ov Před 7 lety +2

      Arch Stanton Hello! So did you buy this kit or tried building it yourself? If you made it yourself the part that swings should be in ratio 3,75:1 and lenght of string should be same as the longer piece that it is atached to... If you bought the kit you should try adding/removing weight... Look at Mythbusters video "making trebuchet" They had same problem! Hope this helps!
