Great demo for conversion of energy. Definitely quite fun to setup and fire. Use tennis balls as ammo, but ideally something heavier should be swung on this although safety concerns would kick in. I think water bombs make a good ammo too.

Physics : Trebuchet
Built this trebuchet in 2009 in preparation of a science camp. Didn't get to use it, but still hope to do so in a camp sometime soon. Test fired it; needs refinements on the release mechanism.
