Modern Meets Medieval: The Solenoid Catapult
64This is a melding of Medieval and Modern. It is a catapult
that uses a solenoid as it's power to fire off the catapult.
A solenoid is a simple electrical device that is easy to use
and connect up. They are actually everywhere. When you are
buzzed into a building that buzzing noise is a solenoid.
In this video I show you how to make this catapult.
