    Love the self supporting bridge. Simple and strong without a single fastener.

    I'm Italian and i know the real hystory about Leonardo da Vinci, the painter. Leonardo da Vinci was only an "artist-engineer" (artista-ingeniere), a very good italian painter who draws the invention in ancient Latin and Greek book. He was the last of those artist-engeneers.

      Kyle Van-Tiel You mean in loss industries? For comfort and happiness such as in your food blender, or your car? Well yeah, that's playing the sucker's money, those fools who toss money after bad to sustain an idiot useless lifestyle.
      No, I was talking about optimized function, which is war investment, and that's where da Vinci's inventions soar, making the opposition eat the devaluations and so get weaker, while keeping their sucker cash to gimmick the fake currency flux... driven by war hysteria.
      I suppose that could be called 'da Vinci economics'. Come on!, we know he originated it when he WORKED! the House of Medici. The guy was living it up on war revenues! hehe

      Kyle Van-Tiel I'm on the side that says, da Vinci's greatest contribution to modern society, was 'war economics'.
      For instance, another great, Edison's greatest contribution to society was mass produced institutionalized research and development.

    Actually, such hammers had been used commercially way back, around the early Industrial revolution, if I'm not mistaken. The hammers were way huge ones, and were connected to water wheels. Without them, the huge metal workings of the industrial age simply wouldn't have been possible.

      @@joshmaxwell8767 🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️
      🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
      🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
      🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
      🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
      🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
      🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
      📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚
      🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
      🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.....

Add roof: make self supporting bridge [large logs to make a 5 ft. tall support structure] pile snow on top) it should work now i have to put it to the test!

    There perhaps would never be an inventor as genius as he was until Tesla, perhaps. Clearly the best since Heron. Sady though, most of his inventions, beyond fancy drawings and models, were impractical at least for the technology of his time. I wish the world made the inventions of these guys as widespread as possible. We'd be much more technologically advanced today

    With the scythed chariot, only one of the wheels has the prongs going in towards the centre? If both of the wheels had the prongs rotating the scythe then they would cancel out its rotation? Please tell me if this is right or wrong and how it works. :p

    • @jcalpha2717

      Correct. The center shaft would need a differential to enable both wheels to drive it.

    You might think it is stupid but back in his time blacksmithing should have been an important job and the accuracy of where the hammer lands on the heated metal plays a big role plus the weight of the hammer requires a lot of strength and work to pick up and swing. That is just my opinion.

  • @FalosJ9ma6
    @FalosJ9ma6 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Autohammer design can be applied to other approaches. Also, more elegant designs probably exist (ie slide grooves cut into board) but I think he went for one that would be simpler to understand/use, easier to construct, and more durable. These are serious factors for public distro and long-term use.

    you may think the first discovery of flight was da vinci but flight have been reinvented many times over and over troughout history from really ancient to present. the egyptian artifact is just one of many examples that proves the ancients did understand aerodynamics. mahabharata stories also tells of the knowledge of flight. its also in the artwork of ancient building as depicitons of flying winged temples with a spoke wheel in the center just like a modern day jet air craft with a single jet engine intake patent. flying shariots with flying horses are just retellings of such flying machines. war and destruciton in the world have caused technology to disappear from history and the winning armies of one empire have destoyed and plundered that of another.

    There is an argument on this page as to whether Leonardo or Michelangelo was the "greatest genius". There are those who consider Leonardo to be "over-rated" compared with Michelangelo.
    I am going to leave a lengthy comment.
    1. Leonardo was born in 1452, midway through the 1400s, a time enormously significant in the history of painting and other arts.
    Leonardo was the illegitimate child of a clerk. Because of his birth, he was not eligible for University.
    He was apprenticed to a workshop that produced a wide range of works, generally small- devotional paintings, jewellry, linen chests and some bronze sculpture. He did not have the opportunity to learn the technique of fresco painting.
    When he was young, an important change took place- the art of oil painting was newly introduced, and Leonardo became he GREATEST MASTER of this particular skill.
    The wealthiest family in the city were the Medici. But the head of the house was the same age as Leonardo himself. Lorenzo Medici employed Leonardo briefly but then sent him to the North of Italy, in a semi-ambassador role, to work for a Duke who had recently seized power.
    The Duke employed Leonardo mainly on the production of festivals, parades and performances.
    Luckily he also painted several pictures at that time.
    From that date onwards, Leonardo travelled around getting employment where he could, in a politically unstable environment.
    He was renowned for his oil paintings and had a workshop of students who he trained in a technically meticulous way. It means that the oil paintings done by students in Leonardo's circle are generally still bright and beautiful, and in superb condition, five hundred years later. Leonardo reformed the art of painting and made a huge impact on all the artists who followed him. This is something which is not easy for a person who doesn't have much knowledge of the History of Painting to appreciate, because on the whole, we are not taliking about large works.
    Throught his life, Leonardo experimented with different techniques, particularly in wall painting. The experiments were in general, technical failures.
    The Last Supper, a brilliant piece of narrative and psychological insight, deteriorate badly. BUT it left its mark on the way that later artists painted religious and historical narratives.
    Leonardo's GREATEST scientific study was anatomy.
    .
    2. Michelangelo was born in 1785. He came from a family of prosperous nobility. He was well educated.
    When he joined a workshop, it was with an artist who was the most famous painter of FRESCO in the city. The workshop also produced sculpture. (Unlike Leonardo, Michelangelo probably never had to fiddle around painting papier mache Christening trays, and fixing Senora's broken earring)
    Lorenzo dei Medici, the city’s leading citizen, was a mature man. who took gifted and promising students into his private academy of scholars and artists. Michelangelo became one of them.
    Michelangelo's chosen art of carving in marble very quickly drew attention to him. While in his twenties, he got two enormously important commissions- to carve a Pieta in marble similar to those generally carved in Northern Europe in wood. (This famous piece is now in St Peter's) and to complete a statue of David out of an 18 foot high block of marble for the City of Florence. These two commissions kept him very busy and made him very famous, particularly as the David was placed in the town square where everyone could see it.
    Michelangelo COULD paint, but rarely did. When he got th commission from the Pope to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, he tried to get out of it.
    Basically, nobody in their right mind would have expected him to do it by himself. But unlike Leonardo, Michelangelo was an extremely mean-spirited, introverted and anally retentive person. His talents were enormous, but he wasn't sharing them with ANYBODY. He employed some workmen, but no other painters to assist with the massive task.
    In the rooms practically next door, young Raphael and his team were painting murals for the Pope's private chambers. But Michelangelo REFUSED to let the promising young artist see what he was doing.
    None the less, the magnificent work was eventually revealed in all its glory, and has been hailed ever since as the greatest single artwork ever created.
    Michelangelo was also employed by the Pope to solve the problem of the rebuilding of St Peter's basilica, a massive undertaking on which four architects had already presented designs, and for which the foundations were in part established.
    3. When we compare the lives and achievements of the two men, we see Leonardo's achievement chiefly in terms of the excellence of his small works and th amazing encouragement that he provided to every other painter, ever since. It is hard for non-painter, and historian to assess the quality of the Mona Lisa. The average person who looks at it is simply incapable of understanding that what they are seeing is revolutionary. Likewise, he Last Supper has been so much reproduced and so much imitated that it has become almost a piece of religious kitsch. We see its deteriorated condition and jusdge it badly.
    But with Michelangelo, we are looking at the works of a person who had all the advantages that he needed as an artists, and who had tremendous strength and determination to carry things through. You don't have to have any art-knowledge whatsoever in order to stand in the Sistine Chapel and say "WOW!".
    For Michelangelo, the time was right, and one major commission after another just fell into his lap. His major sculptural commissions came easily and were paid for by the commune or a cardinal His main paintings were paid for by the Pope. His architectural success was due to the fact that a Pope had decided to rebuild Christianity's most important church. These were the sort of commissions that never came Leonardo's way.
    Leonardo spread his interests over a much wider base than Michelangeo. He had a passion for knowledge of all things. While his skills and ingenuity made him famous, his gentle nature and generosity made him loved.
    Michelangelo was focussed and obsessive. He was admired and avoided. His gifts were enormous and the figures on the ceiling of the chapel made a huge impact on the way that future artists perceived and painted the human body.

      "Michelangelo was born in 1785"
      No. Michelangelo was born 1475, and he and Leonardo knew each other well.
