Trebuchet

 A senior high school physics project I pursued in 2006. As one of the first large scale, personal projects I built, this provided me with a fun opportunity to learn about kinematics and projectile motion. At the time, though I couldn’t understand the higher order expression required to model the trebuchet, I completed a simple equation of motion for its operation which helped to tune its many parameters. Design of the trebuchet was completed almost entirely in Autodesk Inventor prior to fabrication.
