Technology Review Part Duex!

Dear Editor,

I like the Roman Catapult because it can store more energy than bows and it throws a great distance. I also like the Roman Catapult because it is very strong and has a very good use to it. I think that this Roman Catapult is a good machine for wars because it is strong enough to launch something like rocks to faraway places and attack the enemies. It is especially useful in wars because it can throw two missiles at once to the enemies' location. The Roman Catapult can launch two missiles at once only because of a winched pull back system, this advantage is another positive side to the Roman Catapult. I liked how later on this Roman Catapult was developed to a higher level just like an upgrade. They could then launch arrows and then the Roman Catapult was then used as an arrow-shooting machine. The reason that this Roman Catapult could launch arrows is because of the size of the springs on the actual Catapult which made it fly farther and it made it stronger too. I thought that it was a good thing to change the size of the springs and I liked how the Romans learned that changing the springs would affect the distance of the throw. I also liked how the Roman Catapult has affected us today because in the past, the Romans changed the Catapult. The Romans started using the Torsion Catapult which is the same thing as the original but then the spring is much stronger. This change to the spring really helped the Romans because they then could launch even heavier missiles with great force. I thought that this change was a good positive side to this Torsion Catapult. This Catapult relates to today because Torsion springs or bars are used to support automobile suspension components. This Torsion spring is also used today to power mouse traps so it snaps quickly and easily, it is also used as a spring which rotates the clock gears back and forth. There is no down side to this Torsion Catapult because it was easy to move because it had wheels so a group of men could push it to the location where they have to fire a missile. There is also no down side because it could launch great distances and never fail. I really like this Torsion Catapult! But not only the Torsion Catapult, I even liked the original Catapult!
