The Notebooks of Leonardo Da
Vinci
Day-by-day Da Vinci. Read the pages of the Notebooks by
RSS, one at a time. (Credits.)
I want to read the Notebooks, but there are 1,565 pages and I have
too much else to read.
At a page a day it would take a little over four years, but be
manageable.
Fortunately Project
Gutenberg (who make freely available online out-of-copyright
books) has created a text version of the Notebooks of Leonardo Da
Vinci. You can download
it. It lacks the illustrations of the original, but it's Good
Enough.
Using this site, I can read one page a day using my RSS News
Reader. Find an RSS News Reader. I started at page 1 on May
30th, 2004. I'm now on page 10. You can either read along with me, or
start reading at page 1 today.

¨ Read with me (starts at page 10): http

Whichever feed you choose, the fifteen most recent pages are shown
(so you can get a little behind and still catch up).
To see what you're getting yourself into, read page 1

Today's New York Times has a feature about
how Italian scientists built a working model of "L'automobile di
Leonard da Vinci," a self-propelled vehicle powered by a motor made of
coiled springs. Pushing the machine backwards or turning the wheels
counterclockwise would wind up the motors like a toy car that you pull
back and then release. The car has no seats and was designed as a
special effects prop for a theatrical production. It's currently on
display at the
Institute and Museum
for the History of Science in Florence.
"While a scale model of the Da Vinci-mobile has been
observed... to move, change direction, start and stop - thus proving
that the design works - the full-size model weighing hundreds of
pounds is seen, even by its own builders, as too hazardous to set
loose on an unsuspecting public."

Rebuilt Da Vinci Self-Propelled Wagon
Rebuilt Da Vinci Self-Propelled Wagon
07/03/2004 11:36 AM
The Times has a
great article about a modern-day recreation of a design by Leonardo Da
Vinci -- a three-wheeled wagon that may not only have been the world's
first self-propelled vehicle, but possibly one of the first computers.
Powered by a wound spring, tensed by pushing the wagon backwards, the
range of the device -- which has been rebuilt for the Leonardo museum
and library in Vinci, Italy -- was only about 40 yards. Not enough for
a trip to the trip to the store, but enough, perhaps, to move a prop
across a stage by itself.
