Please don't ask such open-ended questions. We're not going to type up a whole page on how to build one. Instead, it'd be better if you asked specific questions pertaining to issues you are having or things you don't know. There is however the Storm the Castle Wiki page: http://scioly.org/wiki/Storm_the_Castle. It is a great starting point for many beginners. Also, a simple Google search should yield lots of information.super nacho wrote:How do you make a trebuchet???
If you were referring to my post it was 25m with 1.5kg (not 0.5) and a 20g ball.vickyk wrote:25 meters with .5g counterweight? I hope you are joking....
Try to be a little more specific, because the answer to that question depends on many other factors. What are you comparing it to (i.e. sling length or counterweight arm)? And what type of trebuchet are you using (i.e. hcw, fcw, fat, etc.)? Generally, with hcw, fcw, and fat, you want the throwing arm to be quite a bit longer than the counterweight arm, and a little longer than the sling length.super nacho wrote:Which is better: a longer throwing arm or a shorter?
