Everything I have ever learned about Leo leads me to believe that his sketches were more Mnemonic devices than actual plans for a prototype. He was one brilliant sumbeach, but he was always distracted. A trait common to most folk of that mental set. The sketches were a way to remember potentially valuable concepts that he knew he would lose track of later.

The idea that Leonardo left details out on purpose is not far-fetched. He wrote many things in code; other manuscripts were backwards and could only be read in a mirror. Others were just schematics with symbols and arrows with no wording at all. Many academics argue he did this deliberately.

If you think about what Nikola Tesla said about his mind. He said he doesn't need a schematic, he can picture the whole machine in his head. He days he can take the machine apart in his head down to the last screw and fix a problem in his head. It's not a stretch to think Leonardo had the same capacity.

He also crafted hidden wrist blades for Ezio Auditore

He actually didn't have an interest in war, he had to in order to please his patrons for his other studies. He actually included mistakes in his plans so they couldn't be stolen

I think the big takeaway is that this is a really smart guy who doodled in his notebook a lot and so a bunch of historians grabbed onto those doodles and blew them quite a ways out of proportion simply because he was a brilliant and well-known man. In a lot of ways, he "invented" most of these "inventions" in the same way that I as a 5-year-old invented Jurassic Park by drawing dinosaurs in a sketchpad. Yes, the guy was a genius. Yes, he invented weapons. But he also doodled. Smart people doodle. Not everything taken out of his personal journal after he died should be interpreted as a sophisticated plan to build a flying saucer with the special details specifically omitted.

I agree with this sentiment lol. Granted he was actually also truly an inventor with some pretty solid technical knowledge and skills. Like the video me tioned he built bridges or designed them rather as his civilian job. And doing that alone requires a lot of planning and forethought with how weight will be distributed and stuff. But yeah I felt the same way lol, like he just had some farfetched ideas and doodled them out. I don't think he left shit out on purpose and I don't think he was some dude leaving behind codes intentionally. He was distractible and he had a lot of ideas. Even the stuff only legible in a mirror could have just been him practicing writing backwards or him looking in A mirror while writing a random tidbit just because it was convenient.

Which Leonardo invention was the wildest? The one he drew up, looked at it for a moment, then crumpled up while saying, "Na, that will never work."

Leonardo's notebooks are fascinating, beautiful..and tremendous fun. I keep two great editions of them in my studio, just for the pure joy of it. He had a great sense of humor, and there are a number of his own jokes in the notebooks. One talks about an artist and craftsman, a handsome fellow with a beautiful wife...who produced, well, less than attractive children. When people asked him why his children, coming from such a handsome couple, were so unattractive, the gentleman responded with "I cannot be held responsible for work I am forced to do in the dark!"

Loved him in once upon a time in Hollywood

Leonardo..the original multitasker 😊 Amazing how his concepts, and perhaps some of those from Jules Verne are now part of modern realities. Hey wait.. how about a video about Jules Verne, Weird History guy? 😊

I took a page out of Da Vinci's book in High school during a standardized test. I don't believe in those tests and it didn't affect my grade so I wrote the entire essay portion backwards but in a mirror you could read it perfectly fine.

Any number of his weapons have been said to be deliberately obtuse. Some historians say that he was a pacifist but he needed a patron. As his patron was warlike, showing him the most military ideas was going to keep his boss happy. He was more interested in great civilian engineering projects, like the bridges, though he did show how to divert a river for the benefit of a city under siege. A few of his designs have been made, including the hang-glider, parachute and tank. Each had to be modified slightly (iirc the direction of some of the gearing for the tank), but the modern engineers who built them saw the problems and they reckoned that he would have quickly worked out what was wrong and fixed it. Based on the principle that today's engineers fix their initial drafts, it would be unfair to call his first (and often only) design "unchangeable" and not remain his invention if they intervened. He was truly a man of at least 4-500 years ahead of his time.

Am still wondering if those old weapons were really powerful and precise enough to be efficient Cheers from San Diego California

The giant crossbow idea had been used in many RTS video games over the years as a siege weapon.

10:00 pyramid parachute. A guy actually built one per his instructions. At first it didn't work right, it kept tilting to one side. The guy discovered that if he opened the TOP of the pyramid slightly, it allowed a little of the air to pass under the fabric, escape out the top and keep it level. The size of the pyramid and it be a good size and the top hole had to be tested so that too much air couldn't come out rendering it useless. Very awesome stuff. I want to draw and sketch the same way devinci did. I like his effect and style of sketching

But what did he look like with a shave and cut?

He didn’t have a soft spot for war engineering. That’s taking it out of context. At the time, there were a lot of war, and sometimes the lords would almost force brilliant mind to work for them. An offer you couldn’t refuse. Plus it was really hard to actually be “an artist”, the way you could make grain, was to offer your service if you had a reputation to be a gifted person. If I recall correctly, he loathed to partake in war, but that’s how the cookie crumbles for his time. I’m sure he loves to actually tinker and put his ideas forward, because most of his ideas would either require a rich patron, or it was too far ahead for its time, so by being of service, perhaps he could acquire patrons through the court or further enhancing his reputation.
