Pathfinders Da Vinci Catapult Wooden Kit
Leonardo's catapult design is at once simple and clever. In this method, the firing system is made more secure by using a pawl and ratchet system that works in stages. A catapult's ropes and tension arms absorb the pressures applied by the operator as the mechanism is tightened. As soon as the firing pin is released, all the accumulated energy is transferred to the swingarm, which is where the lead ball/cannonball is located.
Until today, enthusiasts have yearned to reproduce this vintage technology, and if you're one among them, you've come to the right place! Using pre-cut and pre-drilled wooden pieces, the Pathfinders Da Vinci Catapult Wooden Kit recreates Leonardo da Vinci's original catapult. Simply follow basic assembly instructions that come with the kit to put it together! Images of Leonardo da Vinci's original sketches will also serve to inspire you.
You may give this as a gift to an inquisitive cousin or use it to spark the inner engineer in your niece or nephew, or even in your own children! It is adjustable, includes the concepts of stored energy and ratchets, and when not in use, it serves as an eye-catching display piece.
Our collection is a genuine treasure trove of historical antiques! While the Pathfinders Da Vinci Catapult Wooden Kit is still available, get it now!
