I would just like to respond to a few of the comments made on this video. I am a member of the siege crew shown here - I'm in the green jacket. 1) The water shot is not fake. The Treb is positioned on the outer keep of Caerphilly Castle and was built to aim into the inner moat. We used to display the engines 5 times a day over bank holiday weekends and our own show days. It was loosed (shot) approximately 40-50 times a year. There is no fire or gunpowder involved which is why we use the term loosed or shot, never fired. The moat was the safest place for the projectile to land which is why CADW had the engine build and aimed in that direction. We had no say as they were built over 30 years ago. 2) We used 10kg balls. Landing the projectile on land rather than water would have produced a small dent in the ground. They are solid shots and non explosive so there would not have been anything to really see even if we had shot it into the ground. 3) As to hitting a wall it would take multiple shots to show the damage. These trebs were designed to hit the same location every time once they were erected. Castle walls were designed to withstand such attacks. Stonemasons were used to both build the castle walls but also to make the treb projectiles to ensure the same weight in each shot. Having shots all the same weight helped to ensure the accuracy of these weapons. 14th Century castles in England & Europe were made in a double skin method, with an inner and outer skin wall, the void in between was filled with rubble. The rubble severed to dissipate the shock wave of the attacking shots, this prevented the walls from blowing apart as seen in Hollywood. 4) The only animals that may/may not have been hurt by the projectile were a few fish. The local birds (swans, geese and ducks) knew where the projectiles would land as it's been happening for a long time and therefore they never ventured near the landing zone. 5) No the kettle helems we wear would not save you from the 2 ton bucket. No amount of armour would. As the operator of the trigger it was always my job to ensure the trigger was on and hold it in position until all engineers had cleared the treb and were out of the danger zone (approx 20ft). I always took this role seriously as I was responsible for my own safety as well as that of at least 6 others. If the trigger was ever to be left unattended and slip all crew could be either crush to death by the bucket or thrown into the lake. In the video there is a shot of a man holding the end of a rope at the back of the machine. He is holding the end of the sling which the other operators use to take the weight of the bucket while the wrench crew wind the arm down. If he didn't hold that rope and something did go wrong the end of that could easily have been caught around someones leg and amputated it as the arm swings round. 6) Trebs were never on wheels although they were the original flat pack item! If they had been on wheels they would have become unstable during use. The forces that drop the buckets and swing the arm would have caused the treb to rock, roll and possible trip over. Trebs on wheels is another Hollywood fantasy. 7) As an experienced team of 8 we were often able to lock, load and loose the treb in 3 minutes on a slow day. We were asked by CADW to slow down the demos to give people the chance to see everything that goes on. The crowds would only be permitted to stand the other side of the old mill, in one shot you might catch a glimpse of a dark wooden bridge, the public had to stay that side during the display but were able to walk around the machines and ask questions between displays. I hope this has helped to dispel some of the comments and myths about trebuchets.
Sarah Tanner Is there any effort made into recovering the projectiles in the moat? I would assume not, but you never know unless it's asked. Back in the day of siege weaponry of this type would the crew have bothered to try and catch the arm and bring it back down while it's still swaying? Or just let it do it's thing until it had lost enough momentum to begin locking it back down again?
FoolishDoug For the shots used on the Treb, no there is no recovering them. However they do break down over time to be environmentally friends to the inhabitants of the mout. I am unable to say for sure how a medieval siege crew would react but from our own personal experiences you do not want to be near the sling rope until she settles. You have to bear in mind that at the end of the rope is a very heavy bit of knot work that creates the hoop that slips over the sling point at the tip of the arm. Although our helmets offer little protection from the list of potential injuries they can/have reduced the concussion one could receive from being caught on the head by the end of rope. Normally when we work the Treb ourselves once the trigger has been released the person pulling the trigger would walk backwards out of harm's way but always keeping an eye on the rope. To be fair the Treb only takes a few minutes to load with a good team, so the shoot rate isn't that bad especially when compared to the mangonel which is slow to load and temperamental at best. None are nowhere near as fast as the Perrier which I believe we once managed to lose 9 shots in 60 seconds. I hope this helps answer your questions.
Sarah Tanner I wasn't worried about the shot causing environmental problems. I was curious if it would have been worth the cost to try and recover them to reuse. Or if they needed to be cleaned out of the moat periodically. I mean it's just a large rock, there's already plenty of that in the moat anyway. But I don't know the cost involved in making that shot vs recovering it.
Imagine just walking around a siege camp, seeing crews about firing these things day and night at the walls of a castle or fortified town. An impressive sight to behold.
The "last" trebuchet was build to compensate a lack of black powder self destroyed at the first attempt. Besides owning a 300m trebuchet when facing 400m slingers is a short lived problem.
@@-Kerstin I suppose the missing shot was one with the entire trebuchet and the range in sight, where one can appreciate how far the projectile flies with reference to the ground. Probably difficult to record in cloudy weather and with non-illuminated projectiles though...
Trebuchet, from the Occitanian word Trebuca (south-west of France). Means literally "which causes terror". Many besieged places and towns surrounded just in seeing this powerful weapon, able to break a wall in a single (lucky) shoot.
Bismark put Hood to its proper place. huge respect for german navy. They crippled Britain that lead to de colonisation of many African and Asian nations after ww2
Trebuchets like these were most useful against the upper levels of defensive structures where they could damage parapets, machicolations and towers to protect the besieging army from archers. Only the largest trebuchets really stood a chance of damaging the wall itself, and even then a full breach was unlikely. It would take a couple of centuries more and the introduction of the bombard before walls could be reliably breached by artillery. Prior to this either scaling the wall with ladders or towers, or undermining it with sappers was the most effective means of assaulting a castle. But in most sieges the castle would have to be forced to surrender or gates could be opened by enemy agents inside the walls.
What were some of the daily problems facing the commander of a castle defending against a siege? What would have been some of the daily annoyances, glitches, and issues that he would have had to deal with in his duties of maintaining the defense?
I commented this on the other videos, but does anyone else notice that they use the same camera shot of the rock hitting the moat for all these videos? The mangonel uses the exact same shot and the Perrier uses it again only mirrored.
The shot of the projectile landing in the water is the same exact shot from the "Mangonel Siege Artillery" example from the same show and location (different episode). One of them is not what it claims. Played them side by side and they are identical.
Fact: Japan had a technology when they packed the trebuchet so fast that they would start packing the trebuchet after the projectile is launched and finish packing before it hit it's target and the projectile would barely scratch the paint on the target
I wish one of these videos showed the full flight path of a projectile, preferably captured with a fixed camera angle. It should be possible, even easy, if shooting trebuchet is indeed as repeatable as some claim. It's a real shame they never do that. It would make for much more interesting material, even if range turns out to be underwhelming.

Непредсказуемая точность, которая зависит от множества параметров, в т.ч. от погодных условий 7. Ничтожность разрушений Резюме: сложная, дорогая, и совершенно бессмысленная конструкция, которая в лучшем случае убьет пару бедолаг, которым этот камень прилетит по голове.

The set up in this video shows the secondary application of the Trebuchet, i.e. slinging things over castle walls like rotting corpses, incendiaries etc. in a parabola (arc). It's prime delivery method is linear and could smash a castles walls quite easily. Only the inventor who must have been a genius, together with the Gynours (the operators) understood how to set up and apply both operations. You find many working trebuchets, but nowhere will you find one used in its primary mode. Likewise the setup of the Trebuchet depicted in the video could never produce the primary action. The most famous use of the linear throw was administered by a massive trebuchet named the Warwolf. It was used by King Edward I of England (old Longshanks himself) at Stirling castle and brought a whole section of wall down after only a few casts. Old Longshanks must have been a bit of a kid though as he wanted to see how well it worked, even though Scots had already surrendered. Range, 250 or did he say 350 mtrs. I suggest you multiply that by 8-10.
The trebuchet *heave!* is a compound machine that makes use of the mechanical advantage of a lever *heave!* to throw a projectile. They are typically large constructions (up to 30 meters (100 ft) in height or more) made primarily of wood, usually *heave!* reinforced with metal, leather, rope, and other materials. They are usually immobile *heave!* and must be assembled on-site, possibly making use of local lumber -*heave!* with only key parts brought with the army to the site of the siege or battle. Counterweight trebuchets *heave!* are powered by gravity; potential energy *heave!* is stored by slowly raising an extremely heavy box (typically filled with stones, sand, or lead) attached by a hinged connection *heave!* to the shorter end of the beam, and releasing it on command. Traction trebuchets *heave!* are human powered; on command, men pull ropes *heave!* attached to the shorter end of the trebuchet beam.
One end of the two lengths of rope is not permanently attached, it goes around a pin and flies off at apex, opening the weave for the projectile to fly free. This pin is also how the device is calibrated. Sucks they had a million cameras for the release and all the angles were dumb.
"lets make a scene where you throw a big ass rock in the lake so it seems we know where the fucking boulder actually went. oh god i hope it didnt hit someone"
You should build this amusement near the sea ( at sea shore). You should build it near the sea( at sea shore ),the person who will be launched , will fall into water ,so there is no risk any more

It's still a fantastic example of human ingenuity

It's amazing how much work went into firing that thing. I can't imagine back in WW2 how those guys on the Bismarck and the HMS Hood did it.

There are plenty of recorded instances of trebuchets and mangonels breaching walls. Not sure what you are on about.

but could it throw a 90 kg projectile 300 meters away?
Doubt it
Those canons were ineffecient
It could not even kill single infantryman with shield. Just one arm broken. But in total war game, it is nuclear weapon
I want that in my garden... ^^
But how far can it launch a stone projectile of 90kg?
