DA VINCI EXHIBIT, PART FIVE - MECHANICS

Currently near Rio Vista CA (Low 56 Windy and Sun High 93)

How did the showers go you ask? Let's just say we can't wait to get our own shower back :-)

We now continue our adventures while in the dead zones and also continue our review of the Da Vinci Exhibit that began here Da Vinci, Part One and here Da Vinci, Part Two and here Da Vinci, Part Three and here Da Vinci, Part Four that documented what we already knew. We saw the Da Vinci Exhibit at the Blue Water Casino in Parker Arizona and now document what we did not know until we saw this exhibit.

He was involved in developing tools involving mechanics. He looked at improving mechanisms by using ball bearings to reduce friction.





A flywheel




A connecting rod





Lantern gear




Cam




Chain drive




Gearbox




A jack for lifting wagons to replace wheels




Leonardo was an amazing man, inventor and genius.

Till next time,

Bob and Jo
