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.

Erm...what? ~:confused:
I think he's still talking about that , '' you hate europe thingy ''
in that other thread , which you started.
Drop it, or the thread gets closed.
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.
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.
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:
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.... ~;)
Looks good, I'm going to build this one with my kids age 7 and 9.Quote:

I once built a partice accelerator from a plastic straw, a bag of doritos and some yellow-cake uranium I bought in Africa.
Where did you buy the particles?
they emanate from the uranium, silly.Quote:

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.
What fell in the sea? The rock or your dad?
Good question, and off her leg onto his head? Must have bounced quite well too.
I laughed at that. What does that make me?Quote:
