Book
An extraordinary and passionate voyage of the discovery of mysteries concealed in Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings of the Robot-car, the Mechanical lion, the army of Mechanical knights and hundreds of other machines. The book puts into practice Leonardo’s approach, allowing images to explain rather than using written descriptions. In well over 800 unpublished illustrations of manuscripts, designs and three-dimensional images, the “visual language” is applied. From in-depth studies in mechanisms and historical research emerges a new approach defined as “a multimedia archaeology of da Vinci”.
Model kit
For the first time, it’s easy for anyone to build the incredible “car” Leonardo designed. This pack contains all the gears and wooden and metal parts needed to build the small-scale model (1:4) of this robot. Enjoy following the instructions that will reveal the hidden mystery of folio 812r of the Codex Atlanticus: an idea no one managed to understand in over 500 years!
