Definition: The trebuchet is a machine of efficiency and power that utilizes the natural force of gravity to create great amounts of potential energy and transfers it into kinetic energy (the launch of a projectile)
This website is a portal into the minds of two high school seniors and a
reflection of their ability to tie their senior project into an informative
resource. In this website you will be given a history of the trebuchet, the
process of creating a wooden version of the powerful machine and insight into
the application of gravitational potential energy- the force that makes the
trebuchet work.
