@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 🖖

Honestly wish there was more medival events like this around the world. . . It is a better experience than sitting at home doing pretty much nothing.

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!

So imagine chucking a small car at a city over the course of several days, weeks, or even months.

Kriegerdammerung it's from reddit, the subreddit r/trebuchetmemes are known for insisting that trebuchets are superior to other catapults. The running gag is that no other siege weapon is able to launch a 90 kg projectile 300 meters. Probably some serious armchair siege engineer commented this long ago and people kept repeating it until it lost all connection to the original comment.

Wahnsinnige Konstrution! Respekt an alle, die da mitgemacht haben!

Also known as the Bad Neighbor. It was either Scientific American or the Smithsonian magazine, some time in the 80's, that had an article about a couple of retired British men that built what might have the first trebuchet made since gun powder and cannons made them obsolete centuries ago. Theirs was pretty big - they tossed an upright piano and a small car (Austin Healy, sans engine). My son and I made one out of Popsicle sticks to throw marbles.

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.

Crazy how even a 1000 years later we find it hard to replicate medieval / ancient tech.

Modern day health and safety has a lot to do with this. Throwing caution to the wind it would be quite easy to double the machine power, how many "gun crew do you mind losing?

Absolutely awesome!

crazy how little damage that 75kg rock does after flying 100meters thru the air.

@@peteraugust5295 You would imagine that the shots would be aimed for a weak point, wood, or other trebuchets. that 75kg rock would destroy most things it touches including castle walls, it doesn't look like it does much because it's hitting the dirt in a very anticlimactic fashion and the dirt is absorbing the majority of the impact... you know... except for the massive hole it created. o7

This is my dream job, try working at a construction.

The trebuchet "Warwolf"at the siege of Stirling Castle: "The Warwolf could reportedly accurately hurl rocks weighing as much as three hundred pounds (140 kg) from distance of 200 meters and level a large section of the curtain wall." When the Scots saw the machine they tried to surrender. It was refused. The siege continued.

excellent condensed version. watching an hour of this would have been painful.

That last shot was so awesome

youtube knows what's up Superior siege engine gang rise up

And EU have yurned into a monster akin to what hiyler envisioned in mein kampf. I say, use the trebuche at the parliament and teach those greasy politicians that mother europe does not tolerate political greed and self Interest. Making rich countries pay for other countries failures are not acceptable. If a nation is mismanaged and close to fall, let it fall and rise by it's own power, if it can not. Then it was doomed to history in its first place.

@@political4203 if you bail someone out each time they fail, they never learn. If things like the eu are suffered to exist then they will be the doom of more than good is. I do think they have brought a lot of good, but they have become too big and too influential. And the time to say no is already past for some. The institution have become power hungry and are undermining national sovereignty, and if someone tries to say no they gets busted by various means, freely given by inept politicians. In a few decades there will be no more nations left, all assimilated I to a United states of Europe, a federation of unimaginable horrors. As they can do whatever they please in Brussels

That is awesome, would be sweet to see in person

For more distance they could change the angle of the peg, it was releasing slightly late. But they made a good fiery shot eventually.

Any idea what was in that flammable cocktail? By the way, this trebuchet is awesome, and the video and journalism are great.

I would like a review of the construction principles in detail and modern versus medieval materials used.
