There are more than two different types of trebuchets, but I’m only going to talk about two. The first trebuchet that I want to talk about first is the swinging counterweight trebuchet. The swinging counterweight trebuchet is the classic design of trebuchets. The frame of this trebuchet is fixed to the Earth and the counterweight part consists of a basket on the end of the throwing arm. This was how the swinging counterweight trebuchet worked.
The second trebuchet I want to talk about is the floating arm trebuchet. The floating arm trebuchet is basically constrained by a track, and the wheels are on a horizontal track. It shifts to balance the weight. The floating arm design appeared in the late twentieth century.
