Before engines existed, engineers relied on gravity and leverage. This large trebuchet stores energy using a massive counterweight raised high above the ground. When released, gravity pulls the weight downward, converting potential energy into rotational motion. The long throwing arm accelerates rapidly, transferring that energy into the projectile and launching it at high speed. It’s a powerful example of early mechanical engineering. By carefully balancing mass, leverage, and momentum, builders created machines capable of delivering enormous force without fuel or explosives—just physics working through simple mechanical design.
