Leonardo da Vinci's Catapult Kit

This historically accurate working model uses the tension stored in bent wood to hurl objects—sometimes more than 15 feet! Experiment flinging with grapes, mini marshmallows, and other small, soft household objects. Easy to assemble in an hour or two, kit comes complete with pre-cut pieces of wood, plus all necessary parts, instructions, and educational resources.

Leonardo da Vinci was a prolific inventor and artist who came up with new ideas and redesigned inventions from earlier times. This catapult is one of his redesigns from the medieval catapults of 400 or so years earlier.
