A torsion siege engine is a type of siege engine that utilizes torsion to launch projectiles. They were initially developed by the ancient Macedonians, specifically Philip II of Macedon and Alexander the Great, and used through the Middle Ages until the development of gunpowder artillery in the 14th century rendered them obsolete.

  • Torsionsgeschütz ist ein Sammelbegriff für historische Artillerie-Waffen, welche die für den Schuss nötige Energie aus der beim Spannen auftretenden Verdrehung von Seilbündeln und der daraus resultierenden elastischen Verformung des umgebenden Rahmens beziehen. Die Seile bestehen in der Regel aus Tiersehnen. Die bekanntesten Waffen dieser Art sind die griechische Palintona (römisch Balliste bzw. Scorpio) und der Onager. (de)
  • Mesin kepung puntiran adalah sebuah jenis artileri yang memakai puntiran untuk meluncurkan proyektil-proyektil.

  • Torsiegeschut is een verzamelbegrip voor artilleriewapens uit de oudheid, die hun schietenergie halen uit het torsiemoment dat optreedt bij het in elkaar draaien van pezenbundels en de hierbij optredende elastische deformatie van het spanraam. Dit type geschut staat ook wel bekend als wringgeschut. Torsiegeschut werd uitgevonden in het oude Griekenland, maar de bekendste torsiewapens zijn de van Griekse katapulten afgeleide Romeinse ballista en onager. (nl)
