More model informationThis a floating arm trebuechet. Like traditional trebuchets, counterweights (not shown) are utilized to convert gravitational engergy into kintetic energy at the end of a sling (not shown, attached to hook at the end of the arm). Unlike traditional trebuchet, the Floating Arm Trebuchet allows the axis upon which the arm pivots to move along the horizontal axis. At the same time, the counterweightes are restricted along the vertical axis. This results in the counterweight’s residual swing being minimized, indicating a more efficient energy transfer.
