CATCHING UP - PARKER ARIZONA AND THE DA VINCI EXHIBIT, PART THREE - MOVING HEAVY OBJECTS

Currently in Moss Landing CA (Low 52 Partly Sunny High 63)

We drove along the coast yesterday and there are a lot of photos to go thru so we will blog on that later. This allows us to continue
our adventures while in the dead zones and also continue our review of the Da Vinci Exhibit that we saw while in Parker Arizona that began here with Da Vinci, Part One and continued here with Da Vinci, Part Two

He was also involved in developing tools for moving large heavy objects. It was so cool to see working models of his inventions, some you could operate and some you could only look at. Here is a mechanism for putting columns in place.



A autolocking mechanism so the heavy objects couldn't fall and crush whatever was beneath.


Other mechanisms for lifting large, heavy objects.






 
Leonardo was an amazing man, inventor and genius.

Till next time,
