Hello,
This is gonna teach you how-to make a miniature catapult!
You´ll gonna like this if youre a fan of building little things!
Ok This is what we need:
Materials ::: 1 Mouse Trap
::: 1 Beer cover
::: 5cm Wire
::: Hot Glue Pistol
::: Hot Glue Sticks
::: 1 Wood - Saw
::: 2 Wooden sticks (Diameter 6mm)
::: 1 6mm Drilling Head
::: 1 Drill
---------------------------------------
Building Now we have the Materials, we can start to build the catapult.
First learn how to use the mouse Trap, play around a bit.
1. So you can see a Wire that is used as a "trigger", this thing sucks, so we just remove it.
2. Take the Beer cover and pierce two little holes in it. A bit in the middle.
3. Now this is not easy to explain, but now you have to bend the wire through the two holes,
its has to look like a "M". The ends of the wire have to come out from the white side of the Beer cover.
4. Now brend the wire with the beer cover at that thingy what kills the mice.
look at te photos!!
5. Now let the hot glue become very hot, make a little splat on the backside of the beer cover,
there where for normal the letters "b.u.d.l.i.g.h.t." are. ;)
6. So, now hold your catapult "arm" in the "90° Position", this is the "Stop" position,
the arm has to be stopped here.
7. Now this takes patience! You have to hold the "arm" with the one hand, and glue two sticks
on the Trap with the other, look at the pictures! (On the pics you can see only one stick, plz make two,
cuz only one wouldnt hold the power)
8. Yeah, now you have a mini catapult!, shoot rubberpieces, Pencil pointers, BB, Paperballs and more shit!
good foor school!
(I know the de5cription is bad, but there are pics!)
Hope you enjoined this egg. Its something whats not somewhere els on rotteneggs, its something wich
I invented by my self! ITS NO C/P!!!
@-Gangsta-: This is the "Trigger" thingie i ment...
Tip: you could use this instead of a beer cap:
Its used for vegetables fondue.
The other question: Ive made that hole, cuz i thought
i have got a fondue skimmer, (That thing above), ive made the hole, that i could pull it down the whole way! but now its useless...
I came on the idea when i was playing around with the mouse trap, i throwed a little bouncing ball on the trigger, then it shooted away. Then i thougt of Nut-Gasoline-Bombs... (Nuts filled with gasoline, stick a tissue in it, burn it and fire at something hard...)
