ACME Catapult: A Large Appliance Hurler

All > Tech > Inventions > ACME Catapult: A Large Appliance Hurler by kleucht
I am a very small part of a group of people who have designed and built an impressive & entertaining device called the ACME Catapult. This catapult was designed to hurl pumpkins at an annual pumpkin hurling contest in Central Illinois, but it was modified a few years ago to hurl large appliances (refrigerators, stoves, etc.) on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Here is a short video of the ACME Catapult hurling a refrigerator and a stove to entertain the crowd at a Central Illinois pumpkin hurling contest:
