Leonardo Da Vinci

Row boats

1500 BCE

The Leonardo da Vinci boat model is made of plastic and is a set of snaps together, so it is not necessary to stick them. Leonardo's boat is one of the first designed rowing boats. The ship would remain in operation for hundreds of years until the invention of the marine propeller.

la gioconda

1496 BCE

The Portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo, better known as La Gioconda or Mona Lisa, is a pictorial work of the Italian Renaissance polymath Leonardo da Vinci. It was acquired by King Francis I of France at the beginning of the 16th century and has since been owned by the French State

The helicopter

1490 BCE

Towards the year 1490, Leonardo da Vinci's helicopter, which he called "Tornillo Aéreo", was represented in one of his notebooks. Why did he put that name? Because Leonardo correctly understood that the air had consistency, and postulated that the rotor of his machine when turning, would curl in him as a berbiquí or a screw penetrate in the wood.

Moving bridge

1489 BCE

It is a rotating bridge, invented by Leonardo da Vinci during the years 1478-1489 (S XV). This design is included in the Codex Atlanticus, written and drawn between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
The main function of the bridge was, in addition to allowing the transport through a river, allowing the passage to boats, hence the reason that it is rotating.

The submarine

1488 BCE

Leonardo da Vinci was built at the CRDA shipyard in Monfalcone, near Trieste, Italy’s leading submarine builder. One of six boats of the Marconi class, which were laid down in 1938-39, Leonardo da Vinci was launched in September 1939. Designed as an ocean-going vessel, she was intended for operations both in the Mediterranean and in the Atlantic.

El hombre vitruviano

1487 BCE

The creator of the painting The Virgin of the Rocks, modeled a perfect human form based on the proportions postulated by Vitruvius, an ancient Roman architect. The image is emblematic of the humanist conception of man as microcosm and of the theory of proportions ad quadratum and ad circulum. Today it is one of the most recognized human figures in the world.

Parachute

1486 BCE

The Da Vinci parachute project was shaped like a pyramid with a square base. With a height of seven meters, I was looking to reduce the impact against soil in a high fall. The evolution of the modern parachute, thanks to the discovery of new fibers for fabrics and the studies for the regulation of the braking of the fall, has provided considerably more reliable and safe solutions in the shape of the cap, and above all, in the delicate phase of landing.

Rotating crane

1481 BCE

During his apprenticeship in the courtyards of the Florentine buildings, Leonardo has the opportunity to observe many cranes, among which are those designed by Brunelleschi. He draws them on many pages of his manuscripts. These models are designed to be used in stone wells and channel excavations. The rotating cranes invented by da Vinci, not only work at heights, but also allow the rapid transport of materials

Clock

1480 BCE

To avoid any initial confusion, Leonardo da Vinci did not invent the clock. What he did was design a more precise watch. While the clocks that showed hours and minutes had become increasingly precise in da Vinci's time (15th century), they did not make a great leap until the incorporation of the pendulum some 200 years later. But, da Vinci really designed a more precise watch.

Glider

1478 BCE

The da Vinci glider was close to being able to fly, in fact, experiments were created using the materials he would have available and found that the glider could have really flown with a couple of minor modifications. This design was based on the birds that Vinci bought to try to create and imitate the flight mechanisms of the birds.

The car

1474 BCE

Da Vinci's designs also included a history of the automobile. The wooden car worked with the interaction of springs with sprockets. The purpose of the device was not transportation, but fun at parties and carnivals.

The bike

1472 BCE

In a section of the artist's work Codez Atlanticus, a drawing of a bicycle appeared. Leonardo thought of a chain transmission like the ones currently used.

Birthay

1452 BCE

Born on April 15, 1452 -Amboise, and died on May 2, 1519) was a Florentine polymath of the Italian Renaissance. He was at the same time painter, anatomist, architect, paleontologist, 3 artist, botanist, scientist, writer, sculptor, philosopher, engineer, inventor, musician, poet and urban planner. He died accompanied by Francesco Melzi, 4 to whom he bequeathed his projects, designs and paintings.
