Fundamentals of Hurling CD-ROM bundle
Give a man a fish, he eats for a day.
Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.
-- Chinese proverb.
You could spend $59 on a kit, and have one catapult. Or you could spend $59 on information, principles of design and construction, software simulators, history, images and detailed descriptions, and enjoy a lifetime's worth of catapult skills and know-how.
Get it all here- over $100 value if purchased separately! On this CD you'll get the complete and full versions of these:
- PVC Plans, The plans and instructions to build your own Trebuchet from PVC pipe and fittings.
- ATreb, the software trebuchet simulator. Type in your specifications, and it will tell you how far, how high, stress levels on your machine and you can even optimize key aspects of your machine!
- FATSIM, Same as above, but for the Floating Arm Trebuchet variants. I used it to design the piano tossing trebuchet used in the TV show "In The Name Of Science"
- "Catapult Design, Construction and Competition", The e-book that describes the national catapult and trebuchet competitions of the 1960s and 70s. Includes design specs, competition rules, result records and personal reflections.
- "The Projectile Throwing Engines of the Ancients", originally published in 1901, by Ralph Payne-Gallwey, and based on his extensive research, this book defined much of what we know today in the catapult arts. Excellent bibliography!
- "The Onager Manuscript", by Brian Lapham. This one gives explicit details on how to build an Onager or Mangonel, and the philosophy behind its construction. A great read that's also a great project!
- Artwork, More than a dozen pictures and artwork of ancient machines, drawings, and depictions of siege engines in battle. Some are rare and hard to find images, others are more useful as examples. All are high quality, high resolution images. Smaller versions of all images are included too!
If purchased separately this bundle would cost over $100 !! This is a special deal for one CD-ROM with all of these products at one special bundle price.
