When trebuchet has free cycles



Low resolution, 440 in/s (25mph)..... More information in a few hours, or tomorrow Lets just say, the project has been on the back burner for awhile and I think I've had the idea breakthrough I've been waiting for.

Screenshot around the 45th iteration...


EDIT
Yes, it's a terrible model... Some other day, I'll add spinning wheels and a moving road Maybe even some cavities for the flow to move through.

Yep... and at the time of that posting, I didn't realize I screwed up I forgot to measure the model and scale velocity That's really 2.5mph, not 25 I corrected the problem and I should have my results in ~4 more hours

It's 3D, technically - but the geometry only includes the profile shape... Basically, I took a 2D image and extruded it into a 3D shape.
