Viggen Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 A spring-propelled car conceived by Leonardo da Vinci five centuries ago could have paved the way for the Mars rovers, an eight-month study of a drawing by the Renaissance genius has revealed. Drawn on sheet number 812r of the Atlantic Codex in 1478, when Leonardo was 24 years old, the sketch has been translated into a one-third scale model at the Institute and Museum of the History of Science in Florence. via Discovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caine Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Yeah, its actually ridiculous how many things DiVinci 'created'. Well at least drew sketches and came up with the ideas for. Others that I can think of include the helicopter and the machine gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
