The oldest documentation of traction trebuchets date back to China in the 4th century BC. The first record of counterweight trebuchets comes from an Islamic scholar in 1187 AD.
trebuchets were made for a siege. They were made near forests as there would be a large supply of wood. The trebuchets would not be made at their castle as their soldiers would be tired of pushing the trebuchet to the enemies castle and by the time they would get to their enemies castle they would be too tired to fight and would most likely lose the battle.
Trebuchets could fire rocks at a speed of around 160-200 mph, depending on the size and design of the trebuchet. The larger the trebuchet, the higher the potential speed of the projectile.
Today, trebuchets are primarily used for educational purposes, such as in physics and engineering demonstrations, where they help illustrate concepts of projectile motion and mechanics. They are also popular in historical reenactments and festivals, showcasing medieval technology. Additionally, trebuchets are sometimes utilized in competitive events, such as pumpkin chunkin', where teams build and operate these machines to launch pumpkins for distance.
