In The Name Of Science
This video was produced for the Discovery Channel as the pilot episode of a new series, "In The Name Of Science"
Watch a team of experts- including catapult designer Ron Toms, a structural engineer, and an outstanding team of heavy steel construction workers build a 40 foot tall trebuchet powered by a nine ton counterweight. This machine is used to hurl full-sized upright pianos almost 500 feet, and other exciting things too, including several things that are rigged to explode!
