So why dont we use trebuchets to launch stuff into space? like if we get a trebuchet and make it huge. like i mean big enough to send 100 kilos in to low earth orbit. with 9000 trebuchet launches we get one Iss. However we dont have to stop there. if we keep launching we can make the space station bigger and bigger with just the cost of the part and maintenance on trebuchet. Thoughts?

15:000 launches = ISS reinforced
Air resistance, dingus. Any trebuchet with enough acceleration to get the projectile out of the atmosphere would rip itself apart
>>710934908
We'll use a very light yet very strong arm, some metal or carbon fiber or something. And in the counterweight will have a downward explosive detonation to get the required velocity in the weight and thus the arm

The end of the arm would have to be traveling the speed of an object that would be in low earth orbit. Then you have to stop it before it comes slamming down on whoever is on the other end. seems like a good way to split the Earth in two.
You're an visionary anon.

Hold on, you'll all calling OP retarded, but I can't actually see the structural problem with throwing tiny packages.
Just as a whip accelerates a tiny mass past the speed of sound without breaking, you could launch a tiny mass with a huge arm that gets thinner towards the end.
The atmosphere though, that's the problem.
>>710937186
do you know the equations to calculate how much mass (in the basket) it would take to lift even the arm of that trebuchet to apex? Holy shit man, this is unreasonable. Do the calc. Seriously. You might actually shit yourself laughing,

Hang on a sec, I have few memes that are relevant to this thread
>>710934908
Okay dipshit. Let's set aside this won't work because it's fucking stupid and we all know it.
If you're just flinging something into orbit it's not going to work because you need a burn to equalize your orbit once you've reached the highest altitude of the ballistic arc from your launch. No matter how hard you through your object it will come back down unless you have a burn once you're out of the atmosphere.
Now if you cop out and say that's acceptable. Because you would need only a small amount of fuel to equalize your orbit compared to a traditional launch. I would say eat a dick OP, you're still retarded.
To launch an object in this fashion you need to apply all your delta v at the moment of launch, and sea level or pretty close, where your payload is exposed to the most dense part of the atmosphere. Your payload would burn up from friction long before making it out of the atmosphere.
TL;DR
You're so fucking stupid I think your parents may have been twins.
>>710934908
sounds good
what if we plug a dynamo to the rotating part and use the energy genareted to power the trebeuchet again
>>710938990
>this nigga
Do you even Archimedes at all?
>>710938339
Sounds like you're interviewing a nigger who can't hold a job.
>>710938877
>>710938481
dude you forgot that most of the arm will soon be in space anyway when launching.
There is no gravity in space, so only the beginning will cost some energy.
Which is actually pretty easy to solve because if you have such a huge Trebuchet you just make a huge bag for a basket, that will collect rain when it rains.
When it's full it will be havier then the arm which will auto-fling itself.
Nature will help out, shit doesn't even cost ya a fucking energy besides the threshold of building the Trebuchet!
>>710934908
Probably be more effective at that point to just build a space elevator or a giant magnetic rail gun to shoot things into space
>>710934908
>>710935558
>>710935569

Atmosphere is always a problem if you go quickly, so a cheaper solution is go rise slowly, such as with a balloon. This can be used for light payloads, such as seen in the JPL testing for hypersonic parachutes. A balloon was used to lift it high enough that a single small motor could be used to bring the small craft into low Earth orbit.
>>710934908
Guys, what if we have a trebuchet trebuchets , trebuchets with smaller trbebuchets inside, each rotating with some torque and we let that add up. When it has enough torque, fling it
>>710939330
Let just assume you're not a fucking idiot for a moment.
Even if all your assumptions are right. SPOILER: they aren't. The energy costs of building the trebuchet would be more then the energy costs of a traditional launch. And then you have the energy costs of resetting the thing to a launch position when you want to send something else up. And how are you gonna do that faggot?
>>710935719
You still need thrust to keep the fucking cable up 100% of the time.

>>710939898
>The energy costs of building the trebuchet would be more then the energy costs of a traditional launch
yeah, but this is re-usable. Once you have the initial infrastructure in place its practically free
>>710940159
No its not because you have to reset the fucking thing. And you have no way to do that.
>>710934908
The trebuchet is inherently unsuited for such a task. By design, it launches projectiles in an arc. Lurn2ballistics. Better ideas include maglev and space elevator built with diamond nanotubes.
>>710934908
A trebuchet is a bit... primitive.. but something like a massive rail gun pointed upwards would be a pretty interesting idea to execute =3
>>710939898
Ever dropped a bag of water on the ground? The bag full of rain will empty when hitting the earth, if there is anything left in it, just drain/unplug the plug that you build in the bag.
without counterweight the arm will drop to the ground.
Easy ass shit bro.
>>710936268
It doesnt have to stop.
you could even make a long arm with counter weight pointed up, start spinning it at high rps.
the release the object.
Just need a drone in space to pick up the package
>>710937186
Holy shit anon
>>710936946

>>710940432
*** Like a really tall one, that would function as far up in the sky as the metals would make the Elevator idea would work and at the end it would accelerate the objects the rest of the way.
>>710940159
Also it's not like the cost would be a little bit more then a normal launch. It would be the single most expensive thing ever build in terms of time, money, resources, and man power. Several orders of magnitude more costly then every launch ever done before combined.

because that costs energy (see the rain bag idea)
>>710939330
and an elevator? How'd you see that working? Any pic?
>>710940441
So your whole launch concept is to put the payload in the basket and then wait till it fucking rains enough to produce all your counter weight.
Then drain this giant magic bag and watch your gigantic monument to idiocy burn up on its uncontrolled re-entry?
Great fucking plan.

Seriously though, there is no known material that could make the arm of the trebuchet without succumbing to its own weight.

The problem is that the trebuchet's force is being used to circularize the orbit however the majority of fuel spent on rocket launches are used just to get some vertical speed. it only takes a small amount of Delta V to cirrculize. you're solving a different problem by using a trebuchet with an arm that extends beyond the atmosphere.

>>710943194

>>710942953
Doesn't matter what the release point is, the trajectory will still be arced. What's so hard to understand?
Just judging by this video of the world's most powerful trebuchet: liveleak /view?i=39b_1391748944
the average velocity of the projectile was 17.29 m/s.
According to wikipedia the escape velocity of Earth is about 11186 m/s.
/Escape_velocity
So as of right now it's impossible to send something into space via trebuchet.
multiple trebuchets in parallel
>>710942035
bullets have small weight, and thus small momentum
>>710944534
just put a longer lighter arm on it,, 100kg packages are big enough
its not the altitude that matters its the orbital velocity
What about thunder wells instead. We already paid for the nukes, might as well use them.
>>710944534
That thing is absolutely pathetic, i seen bigger
>>710944858
Ones you reach height it is easier to gain velocity
>>710937186
Brilliant.
>>710945129
It's in the Guinness Book
>>710934908
Well, it's been theorized that a huge fuck off railgun would be a feasible way to get things into space. It would be a much larger initial investment than a rocket launch facility, though. It could easily pay for itself over its service life, but that could take decades.
I don't think a trebuchet is really viable, though...
Idiot, your going to have to accelerate your projectile to around 11 km/s, and because that force cane only be applied when the object is touching the trebuchet, the G force will lilkly destroy the object, and kill any humans on board.
Furthermore you won't end up in a circular orbit, if you end up in any orbit at all
Jesus Christ everybody. Literally the solution for the velocity is just attach rockets to the payload basket

So easy right, bunch of naey sayers here
>>710945518
then its not really a treb.
>>710943017
I've built a tiny one before. It's a sound concept.
Whether or not it can be scaled up to something that can launch a satellite into orbit is another matter. That's more an engineering problem, though, not a flaw in the concept.
>>710935553
Highly underrated post
...This guy gets it
>>710945655
to much fuel cost, just picture a giant stadium length arm, spinning at high rps, then on the apex swing you release a small package that gets launched under 50 g.
most of the cost in deep space travel is getting the spaceship parts and fuel out the atmosphere
>>710945655
cuz weez autistic, member? evar scene troll fisics b4, newfag? Lurk moar!
>>710944125
Yes, that's why it's shot in to orbit. The elevator can't be a really really tall, bent tube (gravity and all).
It would look like a buildup to a roller-coaster that just ends :o
>>710945849
Same deal with the trebuchet
>>710944534
We can use Earth's surface velocity in addition of the trebuchet. We just have to build a big stationary brick wall and time everything so that the trebuchet launches the package at the exact time it hits the wall.
Package speed = trebuchet speed * earth surface velocity
>>710945849
Of CORSE its and engeneering problem!! DURRR
>>710946096
We already use earths surface velocity to launch objects into space. Thats why Kennedy Space Center is in Florida (closest point in USA to Equator)
>>710946096
That would be a catapult, trebuchets releases when the hook angle doesnt holds back the momentum

Trebuchets are designed to throw rocks at walls.
A canon would be more effective.

Almost genius. Problem is, to survive such an impact both trebuchet and wall would need to be made of diamond. No telling what the results of that would be. Plus, the idea of building a "stationary" wall in space could prove tricky.

The solution is simple. Launch a shuttle into space using traditional techniques, but attach one end of a very long pulley to it. When it gets up to space the astronauts can simply pull up any bits they need from earth.
The extra advantage here is when NASA wants the shuttle back they can just reel it in.

Even better lets just make a low orbit ion trebuchet then is less distance to space right?
>>710957077
cool man, if you've got the printer problem down I'll just keep exhaling CO2 and help out that way
>>710940432
The g-force would be ridiculous. It would liquefy any cargo.
>>710957347
If you print it using another prototype printer made out of something else, sure.
>>710937186
fucking kek
>>710957573
that other printer has to be made of diamonds too though
>>710957504
deals with the problem of getting water up there, anyway
>>710956673
>but why male models
See: >>710935728
>>710957769
So we use a diamond printer to print the diamond printer, printer.
>>710957892
Will the water have a container made of water?
>>710948961
just run so you get there fast
>>710958002
nope, ferrous metal, given the whole railgun thing
>>710934908
Nigga if we launch shit into space how are we gonna stop it? once it escapes orbit its just gonna keep going.
We might be able to use this technology to fire shit at the moon for a moon base but that will never happen because we didn't vote Gingrich in.
>>710958092
diamond metal i'd bet
What if we build a pole that uses the planet as it's fulcrum. Then use gravity and a counter weight to pull one side down onto the planet and lift the other into space, then vice versa.
A earth see saw.
>>710958134
the idea is that it literally never stops. we shoot it sidesways and it gets in the middle and half-falls constantly
y'know orbit
>>710958286
while diamond is hardest, it is not magnetic which is important for railguns.
wood is cheap, might use that
>>710958659
you can only use diamonds because they are the hardest fucking noob
WHAT IF WE JUST KILL EVERY CHINESE PEOPLE AND DUMP THEIR CORPES ON A PILE WITH THE SPACESTATION ON TOP!?
>>710958961
Because they would rot and then we would not be able to into space
>>710954199
>>710959043
We'd still have the world's largest pile of dirt after they decompose.
>>710957077
Global warming by humans is a myth and we are in the longest cold period ever
>>710958659
>magnetic which is important for railguns
No, it's not.
Railguns use Lorentz force, not magnetism. You're thinking Gauss guns.

Bullshit
It was hot as fuck 2 summers ago. Fucking 1/3 of the year was above 30º with records being broken almost daily.
This year that only happened 4-5 times.

>There's no gravity in space
You dumb fucking cunt. Have you ever taken an elementary physics course? Do you know how gravity works? Holy fuck. Gravity isn't a binary state faggot it's a scale. Yes the gravity would be lesser the farther away from the surface you are but not to the point where it would help this asinine idea! You know orbit only happens because they rockets are going just fast enough to not fall back to the surface right? God you fucktard asswipe. I bet you're an american that was taught that bullshit in school.
>There's no gravity in space.
Go fuck your asshole faggot
>>710959418
>2 summers ago.
Fucking humans
>>710934908

fucking idiopt wed ,malke it out of diamonds
MORE RUBBER IS NEEDED
>>710960576
What if instead of a trebuchet we just used a giant slingshot?

Why don't we shove whatever we want to put into space into your mom's butt and have her blast into space with a big fart?

Science is just the new age religion invented by jews because catholics were getting all the sheckels. Think about it, in the beginning people didn't understand how shit worked so they claimed that "god" must've invented everything and that God was why things are the way they are. And people just believed this hook, line, and sinker because they didn't have a better explanation. Then as people got less fucking idiotic they started to actually physically see how things work via trial and error. So one day a group of people got together and were like "this god stuff is bullshit and the churches are taking all our money...what if WE pretend like WE know how things work and make up names for how it works and then people will be like 'Holy shit that makes sense' and WE can start taking their money to fund our 'research' muwahaha". And then people continued to figure out that things work a certain way (because of years and years of trial and error) and made up names for it and kept making up more "laws of ___" and discoveries and stuff and so science evolved and people kept funding it. And now everybody's all whole hog like "Yeah science is definitely how things work what are you an IDIOT or something" but if you think about it that's exactly how it was with Christianity way back when. If you questioned the fact that "god" made something the way it is then you were labelled a sinner and made to feel like an idiot WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU QUESTION SCIENCE TOO people just say you're a moron. You can claim that "molecules" interact in a certain way but have you ever seen it with your own eyes? You can claim evolution happened but have you ever actually seen the "fossils" that "prove" it. You can claim the world is "round" or that the "earth revolves around the sun" but do you actually have any physical proof? Science is just a new religion, man, so of course "scientists" don't want you to find cheaper ways to do things.

no you stupid fuck, it is because you are a species with amnesia.

ey guys i know we all had a part in the development of this idea but can i sent this all to nasa and take the credit? I need cash plz

You have amnesia of having amnesia.

>>710961370
That's retarded based on the simplest idea of science.
Things are repeatable and any ideas can be challenged with reason.
>>710962883
Do you want to be included when the screenshot is shoved up your butt?
This is a fantastic idea and nothing is wrong with it
>>710963234
I think it's safe to say that we've helped change the future of humanity today
>>710961370
Well that's just dumb.
Figuring out things through trial and error shouldn't be believed because?
Also any scientific principle can be challenged with sufficient evidence. Hence the term theory. There can be evidence to support something, but the theory can always change to something else as our understanding evolves.
2/10 bait.

if you pray to god and something good happens, then you pray to him again and another good thing happens, then that confirms that he is real and listening to your prayers .
But sometimes "science" doesn't work so we change our theories and say that we don't completely understand it yet
==
Sometimes god doesn't answer our prayers and things don't work so we have to trust that he is all knowing and everything is working according to his plan, but we just don't know his plan yet
>>710963861
PUT ME IN THE FUCKING SCREENCAP NIGGER MY NAME IS SPENCER
You can actually do the math, achieving eacape velocity with your payload from a trebuchet is possible with a million ton counter weight, a 10 lbs projectile, and a trebuchet more than 2 mile long.
>>710963958
does... does batman agree?!?!?
>>710964719
No one agrees with you.
>>710964812
well alright...keep believing in what the "scientists" throw at you... but one day when we look back on science the same way athiests look at Christianity, we'll see...

>implying things that are repeatable and certifiable shouldn't be believed
Sure, that's a completely reasonsble opinion. Go ahead and perform an experiment to disprove something you doubt. List your criteria, and present your findings to the community at large.
That's the beauty of science. If you don't believe it, test shit yourself. It's rather well documented.
