Hi Johannes,
I like your catapult.
Trebuchet is a french word. The trebuchet has a large weight at one end.
The force of gravity brings the weight down, moves the arm, and releases the
projectile. In the US we have a public television program called Nova.
They had a cool show on trebuchets. Check out details here:
