Closer look

on a closer look at my picture, I discovered that the power of the engine is provided by a springy, bouncy strip of elastic. Real onagers were powered by twisted skeins of rope or chord. The chords are twisted by a winch, and the are is locked down by an iron plate. It is released and there it goes.

This is just a note!

great sites

I have a great site that has links to other sites. there are also simulators, plans, books and other great stuff.

Go to: www.catapults.info

picture

the picture that I posted earlier is a picture of an onager. This name means wild donkey in latin. The name was chosen because on the steppes and grasslands, there was a wild donkey who would kick rocks when it was angre. Much like the catapult
