Genius inventor, Leonardo da Vinci

=P.1=

Introducing, 2001 project Italy, while comparing the scientific inventions of the modern as the invention of the Renaissance and its extension, along with the history of the Italy science from the germ of the modern science in the Renaissance era to the present.

Because toured a “inventors ‘ exhibition” Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance in this introduction to the want. This exhibition is a special exhibition to celebrate the opening of the Miraikan of Odaiba, Tokyo, it opened in July Japan Science,.
Also would like to introduce about the following report of the exhibition, the inventions of Leonardo da Vinci, Renaissance era.

Artefacts Leonardo da Vinci sketched several full-scale model based on venue. Invention combined gear exhibition was the combination was just unique. Be the axis is rotated 1 direction and repeatedly rotating handle or something, just rotate the handle to the 1 direction reciprocating motion of the cylinder horizontally, such as especially interesting. These can be multiple gears relay turning virtuosity. And the heavy use of these inventions of milling machines and construction equipment.

Life-size, human-powered airplane is also great. Is a concept fly flapped like bats and people rowing in the hand and the foot pedal, feeling so flying apparently from the wooden model did not receive. Will be using modern lightweight materials?

There was something interesting in animation description. Boats proceed upstream in the River, water flow in. Twined rope water turns turbines on the sides of the boat, tethered from the upper shore, pulled upstream, forward it. There was a real want to ride.
Mirror writing of Leonardo da Vinci sketch, was a fun tour.

Would like to introduce some of the inventions, Leonardo da Vinci has been creating many inventions during the Renaissance, a richness and advanced of its conception is awesome in that interesting history.

Which means reconstruction in France, “Renaissance” is synonymous with open indicating the beginning of 16 centuries of European modern society from the 14 century. It began in Florence in the City State in the Northwest Italy. Has the meaning of cultural movement, the thought is translated today, Renaissance and ancient science and culture i tachikaero.

You know three great inventions of the Renaissance, as is typography and compass and gunpowder. Letterpress inventor Gutenberg ( Germany ) published the Bible printed by n/a Socially, in this era, grand voyage age, India passage discovery of Vasco da Gama and Columbus new world discovery.

And the crucial talks about a Renaissance person, that’s called great genius Leonardo da Vinci. He was born in the village of Vinci, 4/15/1452. A peaceful village in the idyllic landscape 32 km west of Florence. Vinci’s last name was taken from the village of Vinci, preposition which shows from “da” is said to be. Outstanding and versatile talents including painting, sculpture, architecture, and demonstrated no regret, such as philosophy, thought and science, has become synonymous with existence of the Renaissance period.

=P.2= =P.3=

Fantasy power of Leonardo da Vinci is a great person who have pursued the endless desire for as long as man is obtained. Approximately 5,000 copies codices he jotted down in his life, is stored now. Conceived the sculpture, architecture, geometry, nature observation, anatomical drawings of the human body, bridge designs, design airplanes, automatic spinning machines, waterways, such as painted started the concept of painting it. Visually descriptive explanation using diagrams many have characterised.

But all of these are written in mirror writing yet surprisingly. Why wrote this is a can read correctly written upside-down to the left from the right, which moves the mirror, it is still a mystery. Crack prevention theory, left-handed theory and theory of printing has been discussed more is a mystery. Sleep codices to the warehouse of the old Castle head until 1900, not having the impact after development is regrettable that.

Man ahead of the timeless genius, civilization, and his conception of advanced scientific, seems was deserted as megalomaniac and eccentric utopian experiment is society at that time. However, it seems improbable conception beyond common sense man images and future world in his precise, was going on. I think the invention of the times great invention like this episode connotes the great discovery. It’s need to learn from the insane variety.

«Bike»
Bicycle have devised his rides. This design was a modern and almost unchanged. This one is a unique conception of that era, two wheels, to balance and 4 wheel thing over riding need big ideas. Transmission of power uses gears and chain around here is a breakthrough.

«Automatic restore printing equipment > >
Gutenberg invented the printing press, and published the first 42-line Bible, n/a Was the year Leonardo was born. And Leonardo also has done research for the printing. Set print next after this first printing, is a name of the automatic restore printing equipment. Also had the etching method of Toppan system devised.

«Automatic meat Gadfly instrument than > >
Automatic meat Aburi detector there are 1480,. This is baking meat was skewered to a at automatically tried on the rotation. When on the air warmed by the fuel under the meat crumbles as the updraft to rotate the turbine. Convert rotation axis from the vertical axis by using gears, and rotating skewers axis at the bottom by rotating the belt. Firepower will become stronger the good offices of this rotation faster, i.e. without worrying about are scorched, the faster rotation of the meat. Propeller used here is the first one history so.

«Metal RASP machine > >
metal RASP machines are in automating workman skate through filing of iron plate. Energy use of clichéd weight free fall. This change, called crank reciprocating motion of the mechanism uses.

=P.4= =P.5=

«Sling gun»
Leonardo leaving many codices for the weapons.
One of them is the sling gun. It’s hikishibori the bow in the intended structure of the giant bow, and roll up the chords and gear, skipping stones. Cant open the bottom of the wheels put the sling gun get a stable form. It seems has been adopted to the current radiation.

«Airplane»
Aircraft research is a around n/a To be made a study on the flight of birds, become a human stomach, bat wing-like flapping flight. Is did not jump in a muscular problem, has evolved to glider.
To reduce the resistance of the heated air becomes light and air to streamline the body is also good if you recorded.

«Vertical takeoff and landing helicopter»
have devised for escape parachute aerial, vertical takeoff and landing helicopter. This has shaped like a spiral staircase is a propeller, I think you’re eyes better. These are the 150 years ago, 400 years before the first flight of the Wright brothers engine machine indeed dating back from the modern science of Galileo and Newton.

Besides that, seems that the devised such as filament winding equipment, removal equipment osh gilding machine, hoisting machine for luggage, cylindrical inner surface grinding machine, foot-operated flour mills, log perforation machines, luggage. Well just imagine the fun is coming.

Common to the invention of the idea =P.5= these it seems albeit with the concept of automation to reduce the human effort. So that it is seen in the invention introduced up to now, is a rotary motion to reciprocating motion converts the direction of the force, amplifying the power of using the principle of the lever or gear, automatically and continuously carry out the work.

Also incidentally patent system was born first in the world of the Renaissance period. “Inventor of the Ordinance promulgated in 1474, the Venetian Republic of Italy” in it. However, the first patent no. 1 are given 30 years 1443 funny thing. Duke of Venice gave their own “moving water without the flour mills” Anthony Marini exclusive rights in it.
