Murlin Trebuchet Case Study

Murlin Trebuchet


SUMMARY
Murlin Tebuchets are lightweight, transportable, and very efficient.  The advantage of that is that you can fling a projectile far distances using very little counterweight.  This project is an engineering masterpiece and that is why I want to work on it.

 Positives:
  • It has a video, step by step
  • Many, many photographs

Negatives:
  • Dimensions are vague
  • No specification of hardware (pulleys, bearings, release pins, firing mechanisms)
  • No (Content) Most important Dimensions, weights, mass ratio and range are not given in text.
  • You have to watch the video to know how to build it
