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 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.

The Da Vinci Rolling Ball Timer is based on a sketch of an escapement mechanism drawn by Leonardo da Vinci.
The kit uses the principles of gravity and kinetics to measure the passage of time.
It employs precision gears to power a platform in a “see-saw” pattern that propels a rolling ball.
When completed, it exhibits concepts relating to the laws of motion and delivers hours of entertainment.
