Clock Throwing Machine

A catapult built to launch clocks at a wall. Forty clocks for a fortieth birthday.

For my 40th birthday I built a machine that shoots clocks. Guests at the party took turns at a shooting gallery, launching timepieces into a wall until all forty were destroyed. The catapult was designed in Fusion 360 and fabricated from steel and pneumatic components — engineered to reliably hurl a clock hard enough to shatter it on impact.
