Trasformation of motion

60,00 €

Model (on undefined scale) for didactic purposes by Leonardo da Vinci on the transformation of motion, found in the Madrid Codex f 17r

 

"[...] the continuous circular motion that generates the continuously discontinuous motion. [...] turning the handle in the same direction, the main wheel turns when in one direction and when in the other." The kit is mainly composed of “assemblies” of pieces (mostly in non-phenolic birch plywood).

It is a very informative model. Its assembly, facilitated by the illustrated instruction manual, allows to immediately understand the complicated concept of "motion transformation".

This is probably the most controversial and mysterious Leonardo drawing that has been discussed since its discovery, which took place in a fortuitous and unexpected way, between 1966 and 1968, in the laboratory of restoration of ancient books of the Esarchico Monastery of Santa Maria di Grottaferrata (Rome).

This is not a completely new invention, but the optimization of an existing weapon. In fact, at the time of Leonardo bombards were used in sieges. Their large mouth allowed them to fire large bullets that could easily open large breaches in enemy defenses. However, the machines were very heavy and took a long time to maneuver.

In the 1950s, Harold Edgerton, a professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, combining strobe lights with a camera equipped with a high-speed film advance motor, studied the way to capture images invisible to the naked eye, that is, those that they are formed when a drop falls on a flat surface: the human eye sees the sequence that develops in a fluid way, but is unable to capture all the images of which it is composed.

THE ORNITHOTTERY OR FLYING MAN is a tribute to the genius of Leonardo da Vinci. To his skills as an inventor, to his technical and artistic skills, to his refined aesthetic taste. It is the recognition of his continuous studies, the search for beauty, balance and the measure of things that make life pleasant. It is the result of a long technical and image study, as well as a patient synthesis that took into account not only the intuitive aspects of Leonardo's flight, but also of the Tuscan culture.
