1. parachute
Although Leonardo da Vinci was not the first person to put forward this concept, it is traditionally believed that it was invented by Leonardo da Vinci.
A sketch of a device very similar to Leonardo da Vinci appeared in the manuscript of an unknown author. It is earlier than the pyramid parachute and wooden frame drawn by Leonardo da Vinci in the famous Atlantic Code.
In addition, as early as 1 1 century, there is evidence that China has been using parachute-type equipment, but it is more complicated. In 2000, British parachutist Adrian Nicholas proved this by parachuting from Leonardo da Vinci's sketches.
2. The proponent of the helicopter concept
This is another invention of Dan Finch, which is more like the technology of the 20th century and 2 1 century than that of the Renaissance. In fact, his aerial screws look similar to modern helicopters.
According to records, it can fly. But according to most experts, it is impossible to operate effectively because muscle strength is not enough to keep the machine flying in the air.
Nevertheless, Leonardo da Vinci is usually regarded as the founder of the helicopter concept, or at least the founder of the vertical flight concept.
3. Flying wing-many principles have been proved to be the basis of modern aviation development.
Leonardo da vinci put forward some plans for flying machines, including bird planes. Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's Bird's Nest. It is lifted and operated by flapping its wings, which are powered by muscle energy.
Due to the limitation of human physiology, the pilot of artificial bird's nest can fly, but only for a short time and a short distance (several hundred yards).
Leonardo da Vinci's notes and sketches show a deep understanding of aerodynamics and flight concepts, many of which have been proved to be the basis of modern aviation development.
4. Robot-a robot that can move without human intervention.
Leonardo da Vinci did not build a robot in the modern sense. He built an automatic machine that can move without human help/intervention.
In the mid-1990s, according to Da Vinci's description, famous scientists designed the so-called Da Vinci robot or mechanical knight, a humanoid automaton that can sit, stand and move its arms.
A few years later, he also built a mechanical lion that could move independently.
5. Machine gun-owns 33 barrels
The machine gun invented by Leonardo da Vinci has 33 barrels, unlike modern machine guns. In order to fire bullets from three rows of single guns, each gun contains 1 1 guns.
However, Leonardo da Vinci's invention has never been made or used in war, but what is striking is the introduction of the concept of modern machine guns. The latter entered the battlefield in the19th century, and initially appeared in the form of fast weapons.
