Human Catapult That Doesn’t Go Horribly Wrong

Wacky — 14 September 2008

Falling somewhere between the Darwin Awards and pure genius is this home made, semi professional human catapult.  I’m not sure what’s powering it, but the grassy knolls in the backdrop look ever so Swissesque.  Just simply submit your insurance policy number and file for life insurance before taking part.

Notably, I like how they’ve use a ‘racing’ seat, which probably reduced weight.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

    Yeah, thats those crazy Swiss alright. The .CH in the web address stands for Confederation Helvetia, aka Switzerland. Looks like compressed air driving some sort of piston arrangement. Curious is that the tank is red – not normal for compressed air. Alternatively, it could be some combustible gas fed into a combustion chamber and ignited with a spark plug. Using Occams Razor, I’d go with the first guess.
