DaVinci Collection – Catapult Machine

Description

Introduction

Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian Renaissance polymath who was interested in invention, architecture, science, and engineering. Up to now, many manuscripts left from Da Vinci have been found. Some of the them have been invented, but some were not possible at that time, thus, he left these manuscripts and hoped that people could improve them to create something better in the future. Based on the manuscripts, the DIY kits allow us to learn the parts of each machine and principles of motion.

Catapults originated in ancient times as weapons used in siege warfare; designed to throw rough and heavy rocks towards enemy lines and fortifications.

Leonardo da Vinci sought to increase the destructive power of the weapon, but also improved practicality and operation.

His design used flexible limbs (similar to a crossbow) that stored energy, surpassing the fundamental operational principles and power of existing catapults, thus increasing the driving force of thrown projectiles.
