Spring PropulsionDual Springs &
Winch
• Compression springs• Winch provides
mechanical advantage
• Winch has disconnect• Reconnection of
cable

• Crank gear ratio of 15.8:1• Disconnect in cable provides measure
of safety• Potential for mechanical failures

• Springs connected to cables
• Sabot cranked back pulling the springs in tension
• Release of sabot – springs contract

Idaho APPSAdvanced Pumpkin Propulsion SystemSpring Propulsion
Extension Springs & Pulley
• Smaller springs• Sabot could tangle• Inner barrel may be required to prevent
tangling• Increased barrel diameter
