Torsion Catapult

thingiverse

This is my own handcrafted design of a precision-crafted laser-cut torsion catapult. After Post-Printing, it becomes clear that this ingenious device relies on kitchen twine for its torsional power. The system also utilizes sturdy dowels to secure the basket to the main structure, provide a stop for the arm's movement, hold the arm in place during firing preparation, and serve as an axis. The concept is simple yet effective: run twine through strategically placed holes, then twist the end pieces until they are nearly taut. At this point, lock the end pieces in place with dowels and pull back the arm to achieve maximum tension.
