When the counterweight is raised up, it has lots of gravitational potential energy.

This is the world premier for our new trebuchet design. Not only is this trebuchet simple, it is extremely efficient. It has many of the advantages of a floating arm trebuchet, but with fewer parts, less friction, and a unique projectile launch path.
