A modified ("peaceful") trebuchet...

[iacob alex]

.....so , not a war throwing simple machine , but a possible "self" moving leverage , due to a continuous gravity unbalance and rotational sling-shot , if we start with :

.....but play a vertical accelerating track , as Eric Limer's model at :

With a simplified leverage (one constant arm-one variable arm) , we can tumble the torque difference on the same side of the fulcrum , and ...have we a continuous gravity unbalance ( "self" motion )!?!
We can move from a wheel concept to a "minimized" lever concept , if we use a SINGLE VARIABLE ARM of :

.....for the modified trebuchet.

A trebuchet is a lever playing the gravity potential , if we add a sling .
Simply , a trebuchet is a lever with a variable , elastic , mass spring arm.
If we make a connection with “Big fall,small jump” topic of this forum , let’s play (on paper…) or make a toy-test with :

…..as a possibility to develop the simplest gravity continuous unbalanced configurations.
