Floating arm trebuchet information


The floating arm trebuchet is a counterweight siege weapon which is a modern variation[1] of the medieval trebuchet. Their defining feature is free movement of an axle on the throwing arm,[2] and a linear drop channel for the counterweight. The design and construction of such machines is a popular project assignment in post-secondary engineering classes.[3][4]
