Paper Trebuchet

[Mikeus Caesar]

I found an interesting site where you can download the templates for a Paper Trebuchet: http://www.fryerskits.demon.co.uk/treb/ It should keep me amused for a few days. according to the website it can throw grapes 30ft through the air.

hater

[Mikeus Caesar]

Erm...what? ~:confused:

[Dutch_guy]

I think he's still talking about that , '' you hate europe thingy ''
in that other thread , which you started.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Drop it, or the thread gets closed.

[Mikeus Caesar]

Can we not bring that topic here Emperor MooMoo, and stick with the paper Trebuchet's?

P.S thank you Big King.

once, I built a catapult from a chair, Lego and some shoe laces.

[Mikeus Caesar]

I was built a mini crossbow out of glue, elastic bands and ice-pop sticks. IT broke when i tried to fire it a third time, as the stresses on the ice-pop sticks were to large for them.

[Craterus]

I'll put confidence in my throwing power and accuracy when throwing grapes/other throwable objects rather than build one of those..

A ready-made one, however, I would gladly take off your hands.. :grin:

[Mikeus Caesar]

I also could easily throw a grape that far if i wanted, but it's just the pure coolness of owning your own paper trebuchet!! Maybe if it works, i could transfer the same design into a larger wooden version.... ~;)

No offence, Dad enjoys it just as much...

I once built a partice accelerator from a plastic straw, a bag of doritos and some yellow-cake uranium I bought in Africa.

[Adrian II]

Where did you buy the particles?

[Big_John]

Where did you buy the particles?they emanate from the uranium, silly.

[Adrian II]

they emanate from the uranium, silly.Really?

[Big_John]

that's what the uranium is for.. the particles.. what else would one ever use uranium for?

[Adrian II]

that's what the uranium is for.. the particles.. what else would one ever use uranium for?To bake the yellow cakes, do'h!

I made my own catapult out of wood, rubber bands and nails.

It's around 2 ft. tall and hurls a 9mm bullet around 80 ft.

[Hurin_Rules]

Yes, I used Betty Crocker's Easy Bake Yellow Cake recipe to make it in high-tensile Aluminum tubes and a portable weapons... I mean, weather balloon railcar I found in Tikrit.

Now this story is an illustrious peice in my family history...

My family was sitting on a beach and i decided to make a ballista. so I picked up a stone to see wether it was a good one and threw it. It bounced off my mum's leg, hit my dad's head and fell into the sea.

[Mikeus Caesar]

What fell in the sea? The rock or your dad?

[Craterus]

Good question, and off her leg onto his head? Must have bounced quite well too.

To bake the yellow cakes, do'h!

I laughed at that. What does that make me?

Cool link. Some friends of mine built a treb for Science Olympiad. They painted it peptoe pink.
