Trebuchet Plan The Free Trebuchet Plan - this plan shows the layout and design of the Little Dragon Trebuchett. It is an easy to make Trebuchet with one moving part and is powered by a simple counterweight and has a base that is twelve inches (12") in length. The swinging arm is sixteen inches (16") This is a pretty easy project to make and you can do it in a couple of hours. It is quite poweful and of course the power is dependent on a few factors that you should experiment with like the length of the swing arm and how heavy the counterweight is. One big factor in the efficiency of the trebuchet is the location of the pivot point on the swing arm. The free plans for this project recommend you drill several holes so you can experiment with this factor. I recommend you screw and glue all the parts together for maximum strength. Of course everything is just recommended and you should feel free to modify anything you like and substitute anything for the parts you have available. The Free Trebuchet Plan is located at the bottom of this page:
