Leonardo Da Vinci - Catapult

Leonardo Da Vinci improved upon the already-established catapult design when he introduced his own version to the age-old military launching device. The plans for the new catapult employed a hand-crank that caused tension on the throw arm before releasing a projectile. His unique spring design produced a large amount of energy in order to propel stone projectiles or incendiary materials over great distances. Now you can build it too! Learn about the catapult and how to build this legendary siege weapon!
