Tree Buchet: Difference between revisions

 

== Live Action TV ==

* A slightly more realistic version is used in the ''[[MacGyver]]'' episode "The Road Not Taken". When he needs to throw off some pursuers in the jungle, [[MacGyver]] builds a tree-based catapult to throw stones, and puts a light-based fuse on it. First he pulls four flimsy trees together and bends them down to the ground. He routes them under a solid tree branch and ties them together with a thin vine. Then he sets down his friend's rosary to refract sunlight onto the thin vine, creating a fuse. He stakes the thin vine into the ground with a good knot on a pointed stick, and attaches the pockets from his jacket (filled with rocks) to the tree trunks.
