@jurj4108 3 жыл бұрын

@@blise518B hmm, I'm afraid I need to correct you a bit here. 🤔 First point: A trebuchet made out of metal is in fact less stable then one that is made out of wood. Might sound counter intuitive but let me explain: Metal is of course a much harder and stronger material than wood. But that is actually a bad thing in this case. Because due to it being harder it also means that it is more rigid and stiff. Which is a bad thing, cause we are dealing with an immense amount of force put on to the mechanisms, joints and most importantly the shaft when the contraption is shot. So therefore wood is a better solution as a construction material for a device like this one because it has a certain amount of needed flex to compensate the impact of the transferred energy. Basically: Harder material doesn't necessarily mean superior. Really depends on context and requirements. Second point: Wheels would only help to decrease the amount of transferred energy a bit. The trebuchet needs to be properly settled in a solid manner in order for the counterweight mechanism to function optimally. Wheels just gives the machine more unwanted wiggle. (Which in the end works anyways though. I guess a fixed one would just be the 'optimal' solution....) Hope that made sense 🖖

I built my own trebuchet several years ago. One thing they could improve on is the release point. The release is a bit too late. You want the release to be at the point at which the counterweight jerks forward at the bottom of the pull. They could achieve this by shortening the sling ropes. Wonderful piece of machinery!

@nonsibi1087 Ай бұрын

I've made & used reproduction trebuchets. And I gained an insight that I don't see expressed in any modern reconstructions. One observes in the few contemporary Medieval images throwing arms that are thinner than modern renditions. These Medieval throwing arms are shown to appear as bound composites of several smaller shafts. What I found by reproducing similar throwing arms is that the throwing arm flexes and bends BEFORE the projectile is launched. This occurs early in the throwing arm's rotation. The shaft remains bent until the end when it snaps forward as the rotation ends! In effect, the shaft bends as would a wooden bow, storing energy before the release. I noticed that the range of the thrown projectile was greater as a result. Stated another way, the inertia of the projectile in the sling is such that the falling counter weight at first hardly moves the projectile on the slide, but it does bend the throwing arm as if pulling an arrow in a long bow. And once the projectile does accelerate, that acceleration is not determined by the mass of the counter weight alone but is supplemented by the spring action of the bow-like throwing arm. The TWO sources of kinetic energy, timed properly, throw the projectile faster than the action of the counter weight alone. The throwing arm then seems to really "snap" the stone up and out. Try it! It works. I've incorporated it in mine and it makes a real difference.

@raymondo162 5 жыл бұрын

@cass7448 5 жыл бұрын

I expect they were deliberately not pushing the range for safety reasons. The shot needs to be completely predictable, and they can't afford to put to much stress on the trebuchet itself - the forces involved mean that an unexpected breakage of the mechanism could easily result in injuries or even deaths. Also it would be a pain to retrieve the shot every time if it went much further.

@@WranglerSlim That's bullshit, we don't care about muslim invasion it's not our problem our borders are closed. Poland has never participated in the crusades, we fought the Ottomans as equals. And every time when people die in terrorist attacks in Germany, we think "oh that's a poo poo, it's a pity they're such morons, their problem, they shouldn't support Nord Stream 2, maybe than we would care". Also France is worse than Germany.
