Trebuchets, Geohashes, and Richmond, VA
A while back, I was home in Virginia for a little while, and my friend James decided it was time to build a trebuchet
Pictured: James, Doug
I say measure once, cut eighty or ninety times.
As you can see by Doug’s hat, trebuchets are very serious business.
I had to leave before we could test it, but they finished up the last touches in my absence. This week, we got a chance to fire it for the first time.
The projectile (three full Dr Pepper cans taped together) vanished off into the woods. Firing successful! In the video, you can see falling leaves cut by the projectile.
In other news, Geohashing is working out wonderfully. At the most recent meetup I attended, we flew a camera from a kite and then tried to spell words under it.
There’s a new feature in the map-locating program where you can suggest and vote on alternate meetup sites for a given day. So far, the pattern is generally that we show up at the location, then find a nearby park or restaurant to hang out at. Bringing games and activities is encouraged.
I wasn’t able to make it to the most recent meetup because I was at MoCCA. By the way — thank you to Chris Hastings of Dr. McNinja for his generous hospitality. He gave me a place to sleep with no advance warning and didn’t even get mad when I spent the night sick on his couch, beat him at Mario Kart, and stole half his stuff. (If anyone wants a good deal on some of his erotic Batman fan art, let me know.)
This afternoon (starting 4:00-ish), some friends and I are heading to Belle Island in Richmond, VA, which is an alternate location for today’s geohash. I hear there are fireworks or something?

Open source the building plans ?
June 14th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
There aren’t really any building plans, and if there were you wouldn’t want them. James used some random online trebuchet simulator to work out the basic dimensions, and we ballpark-calculated everything else on backs of envelopes.
It was basically an experiment to see if we could build a trebuchet in a couple days days for a couple hundred dollars.
June 14th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
How did you get the camera to take pics? Either you precisely threw a rock at the shutter button, or you had some sort of special camera.. or you used the 10 second wait time and got that kite flying extremely fast. Thanks, Brian
June 14th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
It was probably a video camera and that picture was was a frame grab.
June 14th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Doug’s hair is HUGE!

June 14th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Thanks for the link Tim,
Do you have any info on exact camera, or circuit?
A friend is off to study engineering at Oxford Uni, and we thought it would be great to get some pictures of the great architecture from the sky

Next step, make one where you can reload automatically and an engine cocks it back.

Oops, thought I was getting the security phrase wrong each time, so I kept trying.. lol?
June 14th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
Hopefully similarly frivolous geohashing adventures will be had when I make it back to Boston in the Fall. :-)
Randy: do you have any kind of geohashing worldwide success statistics? I.e. how many geohashers are there in total, what’s the average group size, how many groups actually meet, etc.?
June 14th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
for the geohashing you should include a reason field for the alternate location
June 14th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
@Brice
Finding trebuchet plans online isn’t very difficult, just google it and you’ll get a good enough idea that you can make your own blueprints. I teach high school physics, and in one of my classes this year, I helped a team of girls and a team of boys each built their own trebuchets (our physics room has its own workshop, so the kids did all the design and construction there at school). The boys’ trebuchet was much larger than the girls’, but the girls still kicked their butts :) Wish I had some video to share, but with school privacy practices these days, I probably wouldn’t be allowed to anyway!
June 14th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
DAMN THAT’S SOME RED ASS HAIR ON THAT KID.
June 14th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Was that Jason from FoxTrot? I thought he was blond.
June 14th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
I WAS AT MOCCA! I would have loved to meet you. I was telling my girlfriend how awesome it would have been to see an xkcd table there. Please go next year!!!
June 14th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
trebuchetYES.
and i want that hat.
June 15th, 2008 at 1:53 am
Great alternate location today… it was good to meet up with you people. Oh, and thanks for the ice cream.
June 15th, 2008 at 2:05 am
I am not going to lie…I am trying both of these things as soon as I can.
The trebuchet will be for pumpkins that my neighbor sells every fall. I don’t know what adventure I will use the camera for. *!@IDEA!*@ Shoot the camera from the trebuchet and rig a parachute to deploy all the while it is snapping pictures of the whole thing!
June 15th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Doug looks like he is wearing Garfield.
June 15th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Holy cow, I found where the Firefox logo spends it’s time, on Doug’s head!

@Anon foxtrot comment
I was thinking the same thing…
June 15th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
aw, are you kidding me, I was going to see the fireworks at Belle Isle yesterday but couldn’t go because the car was in use.
and hey, it’s Doug. Hi Doug!
June 15th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
@John haha, that’s the same thing I was thinking. That’s some big hair there Doug :)
June 15th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
I like Doug’s hair…
The trebuchet looks awesome. I want one! And I’m considering trying the kite + camera idea around my local area to see what it’s like from the air. It’s probably cheaper than renting a helicopter or light aircraft, no?
June 15th, 2008 at 10:04 pm

fix’d. My friend was doing something like this, but smaller. Trebuchets kick arse.
June 15th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
I hope James’ hand is ok.
June 16th, 2008 at 1:07 am
His hair makes me think of a young Donald Trump… and a young Head of Hair on Donald Trump, of course… We all know it’s its own entity.

Are you lovely chaps able to provide more detailed instructions for your Kite-Camera rig? I’d love to try it out.
June 16th, 2008 at 2:46 am
Well, Geohashing sure does sound fun to me. BTW, how exactly did you fly a camers using a kite and how did you get it to take a picture from that high above the ground?
June 16th, 2008 at 2:48 am
And the trebuchet kinda reminds me of the one from Lost. What do you plan to use it for :p ?
June 16th, 2008 at 4:47 am
Took the words out of my mouth or my fingers), Reminds me of LOST!

June 16th, 2008 at 9:22 am
Apparently those pics were taken quite a while ago, as Richmond has been setting new records lately for heat. That hat would have resulted in a heat stroke any time in the past month.
I don’t suppose that your friend lives on Huguenot Road near the Bon Air Baptist church, does he? I’d swear there’s a trebuchet sitting at the end of someone’s driveway up there. I’ve been meaning to stop and ask them about it.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:49 am
I think i speak for all your lovely fan girls when i say that you most certainly need to keep the pics coming. There’s nothing sexier than a man with raw building materials. mmmm….

oh please, lose the electric-skateboard-smugness.
June 16th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
that’s right, I’m one of those “cool” SUV-driving, non-skateboard-smug people that you xkcd “people” make fun of all the time. And you know what? I like it, so you can take your “maths” and your tricky “science” and eat it, because I don’t need no fancy “studies” to stay groovy.
June 16th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
poor Dr. Peppers T___T
June 16th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
We made a trebuchet in our garden. The main arm was an old telegraph pole, so it was rather larger than yours here. The weight we used was actually a victorian curling stone- it had a convenient metal handle already embedded!
Unfortunately, though the mechanism worked, our “sling” design was pathetic and just kept getting tangled. We swapped it for a basket just to get the satisfaction of launching something, but it didn’t lob out turnips nearly as far as we were hoping.
We then took it apart and chopped it up for firewood. To this day I get irritated because I didn’t take a photo and no one believes me that there was, for a brief time, such a big siege machine in my garden. *sigh*
June 16th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
http://www.xkcd.org gives me a ‘directory listing denied’ error page where as xkcd.org does not today. check your vhost?
June 16th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
On the trebuchet; you will get dramatically increased range if you add wheels.
They don’t have to be particularly big, as long as they allow the frame to move perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the arm.
I forget the exact mathematics, but it has something to do with momentum transfer or conservation or something. Momentum at any rate.
Depending on the efficiency of your sling, you could get a doubling of the range, apparently.
June 16th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Isn’t it *always* time to build a trebuchet?
June 16th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
Doug scares me.
He has so much hair, but so little happiness. Big-haired people are supposed to smile. :shudder:
All said, though, it’s pretty neat to see it work, especially knowing that it was built haphazardly. :)
June 16th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
Suggestion for trebuchet ammo: take 1 gallon milk jugs and fill them with water. They explode on impact. Also cats work well if you can sedate them slightly.
Our record was 106 feet with the 1 gal water but our trebuchet was capable (according to said random online trebuchet simulator) of propelling the potent potable 315 feet with the planned 600 lbs counterweight. That is until it broke.
June 16th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
I wish I had the space and budget to randomly make trebuchets that size.
@randombloke
Adding wheels usually helps, but not always. Based on the reasonable counterweight stall timing, sling adjustments would probably be more useful. Too bad the sling is cut off in the video. I can’t offer any tuning advice.
My analysis of the subject ( http://thehurl.wikidot.com/tuning:counterweight-stall - section on Axle Movement) covers how wheels help if any one is interested.
June 17th, 2008 at 10:01 am
We built a treb this year just before school got out. It was around 5 1/2 ft long and 6 ft tall, so a bit smaller than what you guys had. We were able to throw a can of Dew about 100 yards with about 180lbs of freeweights as the counterweight. Ours had wheels, but more for ease of movement than aiding in throwing. Ah… she was such a beauty until the bolt holding the weight broke :( RIP Dillymonger, you’ll be resurrected one day.
I highly recommend building a treb. So long as the builders are careful not to let unweighted arm smack them on the head (happened twice) its a blast!

There, fixed it for you. How you know that, however, is beyond me.
June 18th, 2008 at 6:56 am
Please do not ever needlessly pollute the environment again. It was really pointless. Why not launch a rock, or some wood? Dr. Pepper is acidic and corrosive, and the metal cans will do nothing but harm. Sure, launching anything into the forest is pretty dumb to begin with, but at least make an effort.
June 18th, 2008 at 11:05 am
Doug is inarguably awesome for….
well, for being a ginger.
June 18th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Hey Randall,
I saw this on the web-show EPIC-FU, and I thought: Black Hat has finally sold out. Not that selling out would bother him. If, indeed, it wasn’t part of a deeper, more nefarious scheme to make the world a weirder place.
But anyway. I thought you might find PoopSenders amusing. I find it hard to believe it’s on the real, so I figured I would leave it to the Webcomic Humor Professional to delve into this (especially since Dave Barry is technically retired). Best, J
June 18th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Dammit Randall, why do you have to start doing cool things in Richmond after I move away?
June 19th, 2008 at 5:02 am
So by splicing together the genetic material of Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, I would get a Doug.
June 19th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Should we be concerned at all about the massively bandaged hand in the first picture? haha.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:52 am
Oops, sorry to show up so late to the commenting party. Contrary to Randy’s indication, there actually were somewhat detailed schematics which were ranged around 500+ yards. We just made more errors in following them then anticipated. I’d be happy to provide any information I can, including in which proportions NOT to mix cement.
June 20th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Not sure how feasible this is to program, but I think Geohashing should have an “accessible by public transportation” feature.
That way, those of us without access to a car could still pleasurably ride the T to a splendid destination.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
Oooo, trebuchets, fun!
Check out http://www.algobeautytreb.com/ for some interesting sims and calculators.
Also, the .pdf on that site of the physics of the onager is stupendous.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
someone kill Vlad.
in case it wasn’t clear enough, I’m volunteering. all I need is his adress, and my trusty trebuchet.
oh, and whoever made the cat suggestion, as long as you’re flinging animals, I suggest goldfish or guppies. goldfish are more expensive, but if you say you spent the afternoon flinging guppy bowls, people think it’s a euphemism for throwing up.
June 21st, 2008 at 2:59 am
Photoshopped! The whole lot of it!
June 21st, 2008 at 3:11 am
Now that I’ve actually looked through some of the comments, I shall respond. 1) I believe my hand was bandaged because of a trebuchet-related mishap, yes. As I recall, there was some misapplication (on my part) of a chisel and a rather hefty mallet into the bit between my thumb and index finger. Rather than try and keep a bandaid on the thing, I just used the bandage that was handy and kept working. I didn’t notice the bandage because I don’t really see any scars and I’m too busy noticing the thinning hair on top of my head. 2) These pictures were probably from early to mid January, yes. 3) Nope, though I live not to far from there and I’ve heard tell of this trebuchet and tried to find it, but haven’t had much success.
Also, I’m going to try and get this thing out to a Richmond, VA geohash someday. Just not quite yet. Details forthcoming on the wiki.
June 21st, 2008 at 3:14 am

@James: the one on Huguenot is on the right as you approach Forest Hill Avenue if you’re headed toward the Huguenot Bridge. The house is next door to the church that’s just off that intersection. It’s just past Jimmy Winters Road, and the trebuchet is visible behind the guard rail at the end of someone’s driveway. It’s about 5′ tall and made of pressure treated lumber.
I pass it every day on the way to work.
June 25th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Thats the first red headed emo that I’ve ever seen!

Doug reminds me of a young Bill Gates. (Please nobody slap me for that–he really does!!!)
Randall–I’ve been reading xkcd for a little over a year now, and I think I’m in love. Every time I think you have hit the absolute pinnacle of complete and utter geekiness, you somehow top yourself. If I weren’t already married, I would propose to you.
Keep up the great work. And if you are ever in Panama City, FL, look me up.
June 26th, 2008 at 12:10 am
On todays comic - What’s even more scary is when you work out that you’re not only old enough to have kids, but old enough to have kids who have kids. Legally.
June 26th, 2008 at 4:29 am
In school two years ago our goal was to build a trebuchet that was both the most accurate and the most powerful (measured in distance). There were limits such as the axle height could only be 60cm. and there was a limit to the counterweight as well.
In the end my group put to bends into the arm to add length to the arm. More length on the long arm/throwing arm gave us more momentum, but also counterbalanced the weight on the short arm. It was a very fun experience, and our design caused much controversy. =)

It’s such a shame that there are hardly any other XKCD fans up here in the North East of Scotland… I would love to have a Geohash meet up here.
Sadly, I meet nobody when I turn up at geohashed sites up here.

Goddamn Doug has some AWESOME hair.
Seriously awesome.

I came here to make the same comment as Browncoat :) - He complains that Mal got a wife and all he got was a stick that sounds like it’s raining

I think this is definitely the highlight of the current wood talkpage on wiki:
Anyway, shouldn’t it be “Wood in poplar culture”? 86.156.98.61 (talk) 15:47, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
It should, but we’ll just have to be content with the fact that there’s now a protection log for the article. :) –Chaos386 (talk) 17:11, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Of course, with enough money, you could influence the DOW to throw Geohashers off of cliffs and the like. Oh well, One can only dream.

My teacher made us build trebuchets in Physics class. We didn’t make large scale ones like the ones last year.

xkcd is a webcomic created by Randall Munroe,[1][2] a former contractor for NASA.[3] It calls itself “a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.”[4][5] The site states there is no particular meaning to the name,[5] that it is simply a “treasured and carefully-guarded point in the space of four-character strings.”[6]
The subjects of the comics themselves vary. Some are statements on life and love (some love strips are simply art with poetry), and some are mathematical or scientific in-jokes. Some strips feature simple humor or pop-culture references. Although known for its crudely drawn cast of oddball stick figures,[7][2] the comic occasionally features landscapes, intricate mathematical patterns such as fractals (for example, strip #17 “What If” shows an Apollonian gasket[8]), or imitations of the style of other cartoonists (as during “parody week”). Occasionally, realism is featured.[9][10]
The comic is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 License.[11] New comics are added three times a week, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,[3] at midnight EST[12] although so far they have been updated every weekday on three occasions: parody week, the five-part ‘Choices’ series and the 1337 series.xkcd is a webcomic created by Randall Munroe,[1][2] a former contractor for NASA.[3] It calls itself “a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.”[4][5] The site states there is no particular meaning to the name,[5] that it is simply a “treasured and carefully-guarded point in the space of four-character strings.”[6]
