So England manage to break the world record for largest trebuchet which was previously held by England for 700 years.

As far as I know the record is still held by the Warwolf, rumored to have been 90m tall. That’s a figure I think is highly exaggerated, but nevertheless it probably was larger than 18m.

Would be great to see the impact as well

Why not show the projectile in flight, or the impact??

It is designed to be capable of hurling projectiles distances of up to 300 metres (980 ft) and as high as 25 metres (82 ft) and can throw projectiles weighing up to 150 kilograms (330 lb).[62] On 21 August 2006, the trebuchet claimed the record as the most powerful siege engine of its type when it sent a projectile weighing 13 kilograms (29 lb) a distance of 249 metres (817 ft) at a speed of 260 kilometres per hour (160 mph)

Guess the last use of the trebuchet was when the other side got cannons and blew the contraption into matchsticks with one shot. Then the trebuchet guys, (if any were still alive), hollered: "SACRE BLEU!" WHAT THE FUQUE WAS THAT?!"

My favorite comment!😂

2:15 imagine that the trebuchet *does* misfire, and that sling catches you around the leg. For some reason I think that has probably happened before in history, and I can't imagine them living, figuring their leg would either get ripped off or just rip them in half, or at best you'd be launched several hundred feet or more.

4:29 The sound of the projectile being acelerated is awesome. :-)

Because the two squirrel cage wheels which happen to be big wheels by themselves, are enough to hoist anything up to 2 tons with two workers in each wheels. Gears are probably added for safety measures but aren't necessary in theory.

Good effort ... educational and informative version of this kinda video .... concise and clear ... better than most to be honest.. well done .... Saw this yesterday in Warwick Castle ... a tacky.. cheesy Americanified version of Medieval times ... but fun!!!!

Nice effort and creative... keep it up guys...

How do I get it to were my life is that I wake up, fire a trebuchet and then have an ale with my mates everyday

great camera man.

@Rcknrolr only had the one camcorder with me and couldn't see where it landed from where we were sadly but it did make a great noise on the fire shot

@nagamera thanks for your comment

awesome

all depends on what you want to fire rocks are good for knocking down castle walls decaying animals are good to spread disease in a besiged town/castle pots containing oil complete with a wick can start fires fire balls can do the same, even Jeremy clarkson used one once to throw a car range is a bit limited only a few hundred meters

Very cool… But I wish there was a shot of the projectile flying through the air and landing - also, the force of impact, and the distance traveled- that would be good information

I have been asked that a lot over the years this video has been on KZread and it was not possible with the kit I had at the time trees being in the way and the landing area being obscured

The battle for Queen Dionne Warwick's throne was a bloody affair.

no gears the 2 wheels are on a solid axle, but there is a person who has a brake that goes under the wheel in case any one falls over to stop the wheels rolling back

I wanna try the giant hamster wheels! they should make jyms like that! each machine should operate something and you can have fun launching rocks, giant water or ice balloons or watermelons at a distant target. it would be so much fun and quite a workout!

Do you know aprrox how far it went? The force in this thing is just awesome

If it can launch an object weighing up to 330 lb, they really ought to offer trebuchet rides. Liabilities, shmiabilities. Zero to 150 mph in 2 seconds? That's more g-force than a drag race or shuttle launch. Adrenaline junkies would be dying to pay for it.

How far does that thing shoot, and what does it shoot?

@nashimusD if they had put a fake breakable wall to knock down I would of shown it but unfortunatly they dont and as there arn't any castles under seige getting footage of castle walls tumbling is a little difficult to get, and showing the shot landing in an open meadow (which is what it does ) isn't exactly exciting either.

wow

Kind of makes sense in a way. Operating a trebuchet does not seem to require fire or ignition of any form....

2:00 - I should just correct you, but there weren't actually any tractors at all in medieval times. Sorry to be pedantic but I'm a bit of a history buff.

@TheFartGallery Bob is a Dragon in waiting his time will come (yeah right) still use pinnacle not bad software if you dont mind losing the film you've worked on, I remember those early days at American Adventure those shootouts were quiet good, if I remember rightly a few little stunts with people falling off buildings into covieniently placed haystacks great fun I remember going first when it was Britannia park it was a dive and the fence didnt go all the way round and you could sneak in

4:05 mount and blade music?

We say shoot or loose; it doesn't use gunpowder.

how is there no camera footage of the shot from right behind the trebuchet to see how far it goes? :/

American Adventure had great horse/cowboy/shootout scenarios that the kids really enjoyed and the whole thing was oddly very good ... then it turned into a money based pay as you go type arrangement and extra costs slipped in to the gate price .. then the paint got faded...as did eventually-the public interest accordingly

We used to have a place called The American Adventure which was as authentic to the real Wild West as this place is to Medieval times in the UK ... it used to be daft but fun ...sadly the daft part took over eventually ...

Firing is only used to discharge a firearm;*

Don't judge people simply you deny saying a common mistake that even the presenter says it, ask medieval or roman reenactors they'd tell you the same. There are appropriate terms wether you like it or not. Firing is only used a discharge of a firearm.

how far did it go??!!

looking at the map on Google earth and measuring where the shots have landed it ranges from about 120 meters ( 394 feet) to around 160 meters (525 feet)

that's nothing you should see the big banana at coffs harbour

I've heard that its incorrect to say 'fire' of a bow (or trebuchet) as well- and I'm no re-enactor. Did they even have trebuchets with 'hamster wheels' like that to work the mechanism for bringing the arm down? It seems a little impractical and slow to me.

You calculate the trajectory based on mass of the counterweight and the projectile. It will always be an arc. More mass == higher distance. Once placed, you can hardly move it though.

Probably looking at a minimum cost of a small trebuchet at around £10000+. Because you need skilled carpenters to make all the pieces which will have to be custom made. Then you need to hire workers to put the thing together.

French made

I can't believe they named the trebuchet after a champion in League of Legends.

Uhm, doesn't this english lord have one in his backyard that throws hatchbacks ?
