Da Vinci invariably excites the imagination of those who care about the progress and development.Among other titans of the Renaissance, it is - a giant.It can be called even more than the son of his age.To put it in modern terms, he - trend-setter.On it were equal to many, and still a great name is often used in articles on natural history, and not only.His lifestyle was radically different from the way of life of others.But many other interesting aspect of the problem - the legacy of the great master.
Inventions of Leonardo da Vinci experts are divided into 4 categories - flying machines, war machines, architectural and type "other", which includes several other devices that can not be attributed to the previous three categories.
especially interesting flying machines of Leonardo da Vinci.These works show the way to a long-standing dream of man - the heavens.Outset - working model, he did not create.The problem was that the forces of man is not enough to lift its own weight into the air.In its draft master he assumed that people will have to drive the car, lying down, turning the pedal to operate the huge wings of 33 feet.This machine is running, if the person is already in the air, but up from the ground as possible.
However, the invention da Vinci in the field of aeronautics were the basis for the development of modern flying machines - planes.Useful aerodynamic calculations of the inventors of the ancient masters.When he designed his aircraft, he used the powers of observation and imagination.He wrote that he was inspired by birds, bats (the more massive animals are still capable of flying) and conventional kites.We know that the inventions of Leonardo da Vinci's not always perfect by modern standards.But for its time it was the most practical thinker and inventor of the most courageous.
military inventions of Leonardo da Vinci include an armored car.This forerunner of the modern tank.It could move in any direction and use a variety of tools.This invention could have a very strong deterrent effect on the enemy army.The car was a lot of light guns on a circular platform.The latter was to be covered with a protective material, like a turtle shell.In the center was a place for the main guide.The movement of the machine was to provide eight people actuates special levers.The problem of the invention was that the car could not move because of the wrong unit levers.It is believed that da Vinci pacifist purpose did the job incomplete that it is impossible to use an armored vehicle for the destruction of the people.
Inventions of Leonardo da Vinci in the field of architecture are varied.The most interesting thing of its development of an ideal city.The great thinker had witnessed the death of so many people from the plague in Milan.This inspired him to create a project the city with improved communications and the ability to provide adequate sanitation.The city was to include a large number of channels to drain the fluid.All it was divided into upper and lower, roads were very broad, almost all the houses were provided near the stables (da Vinci was an animal lover).Houses were supposed to be full of light and air.To implement this project, we would have to rebuild Milan again, so he remained on paper.
The category "other" includes devices da Vinci for diving.It included a leather suit and a special bubble, which could be used to control dive.This design was created when the Master arrived in Venice.There for war with ships such an invention would be very useful.This work da Vinci was a little-known to the general public.
Until now, people seeking to understand how the man managed to so many.I think that the clue - his hard work and self-discipline.
