Hi guys & girls,
I stumbled about something very interesting that I wanted to share with you. Apologies if you allready heard about it, or if this is the wring forum.
I searched the forums and found nothing, and I think it fits in the science & technology category.
Anyway, this is about the show "Doing Davinci". Please dont be irritated by the somewhat strange title, this is actually quite interesting.
The show is about a Team of builders that get to build several of Leonardo´s inventions full scale and working. A (somewhat dull) Professor chooses
the machine they are supposed to build, and the team tries to recreate the drawings with the materials they would have had at the time.
This is a 6 episode Season and the builds are quite interesting. I have allways been fascinated by Davinci, and seeing his drawings come to life was
quite amazing.
They build a Tank, a spring propelled "car", a pretty clever catapult and some other neat things.
All the episodes are available on youtube under this link:
www.youtube.com...
Excuse me if I implemented the link wrong, I am kind a new here. If the link won´t work, simply look for "Doing davinci" on youtube and you will
find what you are looking for.
so, I hope you enjoy this as much as I did, and moderators please feel free to move this thread where you think it belongs.
Seeya,
Alex
