Show the logistics of building a space station. i.e. First you would have to get a few modules built, then stock the modules with what you would need to continue. Figure in you are only allow to carry a limited amount of weight every time the shuttle leaves Earth. What would you bring first, second, third, etc. Who would you need to have up there? A pilot of the shuttle, some mechanics, maybe a physician - when would you be able to add solar panels for power? You can make it as involved as you want to.

I do not know of a site that has complete instructions on how to build a catapult, but you should be able to most of what you need from the site below:

well - the displacement of a nimitz-class aircraft carrier is 100,000 tons.  that means when the carrier is sitting in water, the underwater part of the aircraft carrier takes up a volume that, if filled by water, would weigh 100,000 tons, or 200 million pounds.  the density of water is 62 lbs per cubic foot, so that means the carrier displaces around 3.2 million cubic feet of water, or 24 million gallons.\n\nhowever, if you had a container that was the same shape as the hull of the carrier, but just a tiny bit larger, you would only need to fill the container with a very tiny bit of water.  then, when you move the aircraft carrier into the container, the water will spread out and form a thin layer between the hull and the container.  the ship is still floating on this thin layer, even if it's only like a millimeter thick!  i don't really know how to calculate the volume of this thin layer without knowing the actual surface area of the submerged part of the ship.\n\nhowever you could model the underside of the carrier as a cylinder.  the length of the carrier is 317 meters and the beam is 41 meters, so the surface area of a half-cylinder with these dimensions is the length of the ship times half the circumference of the cylinder, so A = 317 * pi * 41 m = 40,000 square meters.  so the volume of water covering this area in a 1-mm thick layer is 40 cubic meters, or about 10,500 gallons.  still quite a bit of water.\n\nof course, it is pretty impractical to suggest that you could build a container that is exactly one millimeter larger than the outside of a ship.  if you had any places that stuck out just a tiny bit, the ship would no longer be floating and just be resting on the container.  so a more reasonable estimate might be a container that is one meter larger all around, which means you'd need about 10 million gallons of water to fill the container.

Maybe you should try one of those little beanie hats with the propellor on top...If you get it spinning pretty fast, I'd bet you could get a few more inches  on your vertical and a hell of lot more hang time

I was only able to find where a collector was selling off some old model kits. I believe the one with THE CRATE has sold, but it is obviously VERY RARE! The kit was created by Mad Labs Mike in the early 90s. Maybe you could email this guy and he would have more info on where to locate your desired Fluffy. Good Luck!!!!!!

http://www.scitoys.com/scitoys/scitoys/magnets/gauss.html\n\nAll the details, tips, and materials you will need. I had great fun experimenting with my first one, making it longer, adding more magnets, larger magnets and bearings etc. I managed to get hold of some great magnets and bearings the same size as a pool ball. \n\nI won't go into detail about what happened to my bedroom wall with that one though, it's another story.\n\nHope you like the site and have fun.\n\nPete.

How about Timber - wood, for ship building. Canada has lots of lumber and the Brits were really, really into ship building around that time.\n\nGood Luck

Having owned wooden sailing yachts for 30 years and lived aboard and cruised them in the Caribbean and made a living as a  boatbuilder:\nOakum is good only on larger boats with big gaping seams and something solid behind them, ie the garboard or along the stem/transom, as oakum is a big hairy thing that takes along time to expand and then really expands and can blow the planking off a boat...saw it happen NOT pretty.\n\nWhat has worked for about 500 years is cotton caulking..it comes in along long skein from Distributors and Defender Industries, you pull out  a few feet at a time, twist it  so its now a tightly twisted line of cotton about , oh, the size of a pencil, and drive it into the seem with a caulking iron, which looks like a fat putty knife and is also available from Jamestown. It takes a while to develop the feel for setting the cotton deep enough to putty over without driving it all the way through; if a seam is really open, you might have to wind the cotton a little looser, say tot he diameter of a crayon and push it gently in rather than drive it in... Paint the caulking with a thin coat of paint, then under the water line use Pettits brown seam compound; above the waterline Pettits white seam compound. Both remain flexible for a goodly while and if protected by paint wont crumble out. Epoxy will NOT work; the plank swelling will spit it out.\nThere is a fair amount of controversy about using 3-Ms 5200 under the waterline and Life Caulk above.it's not old timey, its not traditional, but it works.\nRemember if the boat has been out a while and the seams need a lot of caulking...cotton, putty, 5200....as the planks swell they will force out the putty/5200, and you will have to scrape and sand and repaint the topsides until the wood is swollen to where it wants to be...\nSeams that have shrunk so you can see daylight will swell back up..but it may take several days..when you first launch the boat  be prepared for a lot of water coming in...(I needed a crash pump to back up two 1750 bilge pumps after being out for 6 months...)if you can, hose the boat down inside and out a few days before launching...use LOTS of water..it will save a lot of Ohmygod we're sinking trauma at launch...\n\nThere is a magazine devoted to fools like us with wooden boats. Its called (DUH) WoodenBoat, web site is www.woodenboat.com. Filled with all sorts of do it yourself tips and references and books and good stuff..Start reading it today.

no styrofoam??? aww that ruins some of the fun! i love crafty projects tho. okay you can use bakeable clay. it comes in a variety of colors and can be molded into many shapes. i would suggest working from the inside out and making it into a circle with a pie shaped cutout in it so you can see inside. basically you would make the clay figure and then bake it. you can spray it with a glossy finish and tadaa! oh, and to hang it from the ceiling? i guess you would need to screw in a metal hook beforehand. good luck!!

Try this site:\n\nhttp://www.recmanagement.com/features.php?fid=200305FE02&ch=3\n\nAnd also, this site gives a step by step demonstration using pictures.  As to where to acquire the materials or how to rent a polaris to move the material, I think might be another Yahoo! Answer.\n\nhttp://www.aukebaylandingcraft.com/BuildingTrails.html\n\nHopefully, this gives you some idea of the direction to go.  Good luck!

Hi midnight, check out this site.  It should be of some help.  No diagrams, but plenty of text information.  Hope this helps.  Good luck.

I've looked for near an hour and for the life of me I can't the history of it.  I thought it would be pretty simple, but boy was I ever wrong.  I'm sure you already found the sites that make and sell them, not to mention an airplane called a Windsock, but all the help I can give you today is good luck.  Sorry I couldn't help.  But I had to give you some sort of answer because nobody else has posted anything.

You need to coordinate this with the rest of your group. Your materials that you'll use will depend on the materials of the rest of the device. Is it going to be a realistic version, or a modern version? Is this going to be only for display purposes or is this going to be an actual working trebuchet?\n\nI think you need to talk with your group a bit more first.
