1
You are attending a festival in Milan.
2
The year is 1495.
3
In front of you, you see a knight sitting on a chair.
4
Suddenly, he stands up, raises his arm and waves at you.
5
Then he opens his visor.
6
To your surprise, there's no human inside.
7
It's virtually a robot, more than 400 years before the first humanoid robot was made. But how?
8
Behind the invention was none other than Leonardo da Vinci.
9
And in this video, we take a closer look at his most incredible inventions,
10
and ask the question, would they actually work in real life?
11
We'll see how he envisioned the first ever diving suit,
12
a military tank, and of course,
13
how he made the mechanical knight.
14
But first, let's take a look at how Leonardo imagined humans could fly.
15
Leonardo was really fascinated by the idea of flight,
16
and even though it took hundreds of years after Leonardo's death for humans to finally achieve it,
17
he was surprisingly close in the late 15th century.
18
Take this design as an example.
19
It's essentially an early version of the helicopter.
20
It consisted of a linen sail arranged around a wooden mast,
21
resembling a giant screw.
22
He also added four bars to be able to rotate the mast.
23
By turning it, Leonardo believed the screw would push against the air in the same way a screw drives into wood,
24
creating lift and allowing the machine to rise into the sky.
25
As with most of his inventions,
26
Leonardo never built the aerial screw,
27
but his vision for it would be something like this.
28
Leonardo would have four people standing on a central platform,
29
operating the machine to create enough rotation to finally achieve lift.
30
Some people believe Leonardo made the aerial screw to actually make humans fly,
31
while others claim that it was designed for theatrical purposes only.
32
However, experts agree on one thing,
33
Leonardo's helicopter would not have been able to take off.
34
But in 2019, at the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci's death,
35
scientists at the University of Maryland set out with one goal,
36
make Leonardo's design work for actual flight.
37
The experiment included detailed descriptions of the changes needed to make Leonardo's helicopter actually take off.
38
Instead of one rotary propeller,
39
they redesigned it to have four propellers.
40
This would make the aircraft more balanced and easier to control.
41
With a few other modifications to the aerial screw itself,
42
and switching out manpower for an electric engine,
43
they made a real-life miniature of the machine.
44
It was a drone, using Leonardo's theory to hopefully achieve lift-off.
45
But would it work?
46
The drone lifted into the air.
47
Leonardo's vision was finally flying,
48
500 years after his death.
49
With Leonardo's original design, he would likely never be able to fly,
50
but with this next invention, he actually might have.
51
And one person even took it to the ultimate test.
52
But first, let me tell you about the browser I've been using for a while now,
53
and why you might want to try Opera as well.
54
During my research on Leonardo's inventions, I used split-screen.
55
It makes browsing and writing at the same time super easy.
56
I just dragged one tab next to another to enable it.
57
That way I can research on one side while writing on the other.
58
And thanks to the video pop-out feature,
59
I can detach the videos I watch,
60
so it can follow me around even outside of the browser.
61
It's perfect for watching tutorials or documentaries while working.
62
Opera also has tab islands,
63
which let me group related tabs together.
64
This is helpful when doing research because it lets me keep relevant sources in multiple islands.
65
And when I need more space, I can collapse them.
66
It's by far the cleanest browsing experience for deep research.
67
It's also quick and easy to customize the browser,
68
making Opera personal and fun to use.
69
I love using the Mirage theme when writing darker stories,
70
and Midsummer when I'm in a creative mood.
71
If you want to try opera,
72
use the link in the description.
73
Now let's get back to Leonardo's next invention.
74
For ages, humans have dreamt of defying gravity.
75
Some have been successful, like André-Jacques Garnarin,
76
the Frenchman who performed the first ever successful parachute jump in 1797.
77
Others were not so successful,
78
like Franz Reichelt, who tried to show off his homemade flying suit by jumping from the Eiffel Tower in 1912.
79
The results?
80
Well, let's say I can't show it here on YouTube.
81
But more than 400 years before that,
82
Leonardo da Vinci designed what's believed to be one of the first concepts of a parachute ever to be made.
83
The design was nothing like the modern parachutes we know today.
84
Leonardo imagined a square frame made from solid wood.
85
Around it, he wrapped a sealed linen cloth,
86
making sure the only opening would be at the bottom, towards the frame.
87
In the air, the cloth would be filled with air,
88
making a pyramid shape, hopefully capable of slowing the descent.
89
Leonardo wrote in his notes,
90
If a man has a tent made of linen,
91
of which the openings have all been stopped up,
92
and it would be twelve braccia across and twelve in depth,
93
he will be able to throw himself down from any great height without suffering any injury.
94
The parachute's simple shape and heavy weight made many experts doubt its ability to fly,
95
but British skydiver Adrian Nicholas believed the 500-year-old design could work and he was going to put it to the test.
96
Instead of using modern, lighter materials,
97
Nicholas insisted on using materials true to the time.
98
Ignoring warnings that it would never work,
99
he built the wooden frame and mounted the linen and ropes,
100
all based on Leonardo's sketch from 1485.
101
The total weight was now 84 kilograms,
102
around 10 times the weight of a modern parachute.
103
The experiment was controversial, but Nicolas believed in Leonardo.
104
In fact, he was willing to risk his life that it would work.
105
Secured to the bottom of the parachute,
106
Nicolas was lifted 10,000 feet into the air by a hot air balloon.
107
Now it was the moment of truth.
108
Leonardo da Vinci's idea work?
109
The balloon descended to fill the parachute with air.
110
Then they released Nicholas.
111
Mr. Da Vinci, maybe you were right!
112
Luckily it worked.
113
Nicholas was enjoying the view for about five minutes before he had to disengage the parachute.
114
Due to the heavy wooden frame,
115
it was safer for Nicholas to land using modern equipment.
116
When interviewed about the stunt,
117
Nicholas said, "...it took one of the greatest minds who ever lived to design it,
118
but it took 500 years to find a man with a brain small enough to actually go and fly it."
119
Leonardo was obsessed with humans experiencing the skies,
120
but he also imagined how we could explore life underwater.
121
First, let's take a closer look at his vision of warfare on land in the 15th century.
122
Leonardo didn't really care much for wealth and money,
123
but he still needed funding for his ideas.
124
When he left Florence and moved to Milan in 1492,
125
he was looking for a stable yet prestigious job.
126
That's when he pitched his skills to the Duke of Milan in a now famous job application letter.
127
After writing in detail about his ideas on warfare,
128
he wrote, almost as a footnote,
129
that he could also paint better than anyone else.
130
He got the job, and between 1492 and 1499,
131
Leonardo made several designs for advanced war equipment.
132
The problem, however, was that his inventions were so advanced they would never be realized in his lifetime.
133
Let's start off with one of his most futuristic visions, the military tank.
134
Leonardo da Vinci's tank was designed for eight people, stationed across two floors.
135
The roof was specifically designed to be sloped at a 30 degree angle,
136
a strategic choice to make it more likely for enemy attacks to bounce off the armor.
137
In his drawings, the tank was armed with heavyweight cannons all around.
138
Underneath the tank, four wheels would help the vehicle move.
139
The wheels were powered by gears and connected to a handle,
140
allowing the crew inside to operate the vehicle.
141
However, the drawing included a critical error.
142
Leonardo's design of the gears would result in the wheels turning in opposite directions,
143
effectively making the tank unable to move.
144
The mistake would have been easy to fix for an experienced engineer like Leonardo,
145
but this error has experts divided.
146
His notebook included far more complicated gear construction than this one.
147
That's why some experts think he intentionally added mistakes to his designs to protect them from misuse.
148
Others argue that it might just have been a result of his mirrored writing,
149
or a casual error that he didn't care to correct.
150
Either way, with the weight of the cannons,
151
Leonardo's tank was too heavy to be powered by humans alone,
152
and it was never constructed or used in real combat.
153
But this next invention would have been much more plausible and potentially deadly to its opponents.
154
The year is 1490.
155
You're a soldier standing in the battlefield,
156
ready to fight for your life.
157
In the distance, over a hill,
158
you hear a loud creaking noise.
159
Gradually, a dark silhouette is getting more and more visible over the horizon.
160
You can't figure out what it is, but it's huge.
161
It turns out your opponent has brought with them a giant crossbow,
162
measuring an incredible 24 meters in width and 22 meters in length.
163
They aim the frightening weapon at you and fire.
164
The crossbow was designed to be horrifying to the enemy.
165
Mounted on six wheels, it allegedly had to be operated by over a dozen people.
166
But again, Leonardo's vision would never come to life.
167
The military most likely deemed the weapon too expensive and too high maintenance to actually construct.
168
But if ever created, it would arguably serve its main purpose,
169
to be incredibly intimidating and a show of force.
170
Moving on from the battles on land to the battles at sea,
171
let's take a look at how Leonardo designed the first diving suit.
172
After France's seizure of Milan in 1499,
173
Leonardo saw no other option than to look for work elsewhere.
174
Venice was a rich city nearby,
175
under threat by the Turkish.
176
Leonardo saw this as an opportunity to make a living by designing different types of military equipment for the Venetian army.
177
In a meeting with the Council of Venice,
178
Leonardo suggested to create an underwater army.
179
To support this army, Leonardo designed the first diving suit in history.
180
He argued that the city would not stand a chance against the Turkish on land,
181
and proposed a solution to sink their ships while they were still at sea.
182
The design featured a full-body waterproof leather suit.
183
For the diver to be able to stay underwater for longer periods of time,
184
Leonardo suggested an oversized snorkel.
185
On the surface, a container made of cork would provide the diver with fresh oxygen.
186
The cork was designed with two tubes,
187
one for fresh air and one for used air.
188
In 2002, Scott Cassel and Jackie Cozens set out to recreate the diving suit on mission by the BBC.
189
And to their surprise, it actually worked.
190
The diver was able to walk along the seabed while still getting fresh air from above.
191
But just like the wheels of the military tank,
192
it's believed Leonardo intentionally left small mistakes in the design.
193
By moving the ventilation on the cork,
194
the design would not only work as a simple snorkel,
195
but also as an oxygen tank.
196
With the ventilation further down,
197
the container would create an air chamber.
198
This would allow the diver to pull the cork down under the surface,
199
fully hiding from enemy forces.
200
The experiment showed that Leonardo's diving suit wasn't just theoretical.
201
It could function, and in theory,
202
it might have given Venice the world's first underwater soldiers.
203
But how would the soldiers sabotage enemy forces underwater?
204
Well one suggestion was to use an underwater drill.
205
Leonardo designed a drilling device that could sink ships by drilling a hole into a vessel's planking below the waterline.
206
Just imagine the faces of the Venetian council when Leonardo presented his vision for an underwater army.
207
Moving on from Leonardo's military designs,
208
we find a collection of incredible inventions using gears and wires.
209
Through his paintings, Leonardo is famous for his advanced understanding of anatomy.
210
He was able to paint the human body in ways few others could at the time.
211
But his knowledge of anatomy did not only benefit his art,
212
he also made incredible creations for theatres and events.
213
With the use of gears,
214
Leonardo da Vinci created almost life-like movements in his designs.
215
But Leonardo understood that gears could do so much more than just imitate birds.
216
That brings us back to the Mechanical Knight from 1495.
217
In the middle of the ceremony,
218
the mysterious knight has just revealed that it is not a human.
219
Inside the helmet is only gears and wires,
220
but Leonardo's mechanical knight could do more than just open its helmet.
221
The knight was able to stand up,
222
move his arms, turn his head and sit back down again.
223
Some sources also claim the knight may have produced an automated drum roll.
224
Unlike most of Leonardo's other sketches,
225
the mechanical knight was likely built and demonstrated at a ceremony in 1495.
226
The secret was in its construction.
227
Leonardo's knight was built from wood,
228
leather and metal and powered by a clever system of pulleys and cables.
229
Movements of different limbs were linked together.
230
When one arm moved up,
231
the other moved down, creating a human-like behavior.
232
But what inspired Leonardo to create the mechanical knight?
233
The answer is quite sinister.
234
A dark evening in Florence,
235
Leonardo's assistant arrives carrying something heavy.
236
With him, he has a body,
237
most likely a diseased criminal.
238
With occasional permission from the church,
239
Leonardo would start to study human cadavers.
240
And not only on the outside,
241
he dissected the people, carefully taking note of every little detail he could find about the human body.
242
Few people would ever want to work in the dissection rooms of this era.
243
there was no way to preserve the bodies,
244
which meant they began to rot within 48 hours.
245
But the dissections gave Leonardo important knowledge.
246
Some sources suggest that Leonardo's study on human anatomy inspired him to design the first mechanical machines.
247
To figure out how he could recreate motion using levers and pulleys,
248
Leonardo would compare human skeletons side by side with mechanical designs.
249
By comparing bones to levers and muscles to pulleys,
250
Leonardo created detailed drawings of a mechanical knight,
251
a mechanical bird, and even a mechanical lion.
252
By understanding the muscles and how the body was put together,
253
he could create machines that gave an illusion of life.
254
The mechanical knight has been reconstructed in 2002 for a BBC documentary.
255
Robotic expert Mark Rocheim argued that Leonardo's robot could have been fully automated by using water and gravity,
256
making the knight even more impressive.
257
And according to the documentary,
258
Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical knight directly inspired robotics used in NASA's space stations.
