A Cork Throwing Trebuchet Toy (A Demonstration Of A First Class Lever)

As an curious and ODDUNCLE I made this video is for my nieces and nephews. The title tells you just about everything. The red output arm of the lever is approximately 6 times the length of the input arm. This with the additional length of twine that loops the corks around the output arm results in the cork having to travel through a longer distance than the blue output arm. This is what I'm told allows for the fun of target practice. No plastic bottles were harmed in this production and all have been recycled.
