A working re-creation of Leonardo's 15th Century Catapult
Leonardo designed a wide range of catapults, some functional, some not so much.
This catapult re-creates one of Leonardo’s more interesting designs that uses the power of bent wood to launch projectiles.
Make and launch small projectiles up to 10m!
Easy to make in about 10 mins
MDF wood pre-cut and ready to assemble (some glue needed)
Great STEM lit to learn about levers and simple machines, combined with history and launching things!
dimensions once built approx 18cm x 6cm x 9cm
Ages 8 years+
