How to Build a Small Catapult With a Popsicle

Posted by Setiadi Thursday, February 28, 2013 0 comments

The catapult is one of the most popular medieval weapons in the history of mankind. The ability to load an object and cause it to fly through the air via a simple pull-and-release mechanism is an amazing achievement in engineering, although the principle behind the catapult is rather simple. In fact, it is so simple you can make your own catapult at home. While it will not be on a scale as those used in medieval times, it is still fun to create and play with nonetheless.

Instructions

Place three rubber bands around the metal ends of the paper binder. Make sure there is no slack in the rubber bands.

Slide your Popsicle stick under the rubber bands. If you have a flimsy Popsicle stick, you must hold roughly three Popsicle sticks together and place rubber bands around the sticks to hold them in place. This will make the sticks much stronger and able to throw objects farther in distance.

Sit an object on one of the metal pieces of the paper binder. Hold the other metal piece down with your hand and push on the object sitting in the metal piece. Push back as far as you can and release. Your object will now fly through the air, thanks to your Popsicle catapult.
