I never realized how much this genius dabbled in. He translated his brilliance of music into the origins of the music box, and his study of hydraulics into water shoes. He is accredited for a great multitude of inventions and innovations.
Going to this museum really took me for a ride, coming from one who has just taken history texts as fact, it was hard seeing the inconsistencies of the museum. Da Vinci was credited with the hydrometer and the anemometer, where he may have constructed but did not create. It is so impressive that he could understand and be one of the first to evaluate and innovate ideas but he did not imagine it all.
I was very impressed at the vertical ball bearing design idea as well as his study of rotational motion and how he played with the moment of inertia. The basis of futuristic designs were developed thanks to his breakthroughs. His flying techniques were also quite impressive. I didn't realize he could analyze bird movements as they flew and recreate them.

I also thought this museum was really cool and had great features. The flying techniques were great the Air Screw really impressed me that it may even fly with that much weight and people on it. :)
ReplyDeleteThis museum was very interesting and interactive! The inventions were very impressive. I was also impressed by the flying techniques.
ReplyDeleteI agree! His inventions were so simple yet powerful. Violet
