How about a steam powered trebuchet? Perhaps the design could be 
borrowed from the aircraft carrier catapult or the ship which 
threw dynamite at the Spanish during the Spanish American war.

Some friends of mine and I built a trebuchet during August of '95. It had
a 10 foot wooden main beam and four 55 gal. drums of Bondo as a
counterweight. We threw two GMC van brake rotors, welded together, at a VW
Scirocco. We also tossed a lawn mower. There is just something poetic
about lawn-and-garden equipment flying through the air...... I have some
JPGs of it if anyone is interested.
