Aerial Screw
The Aerial Screw design is a precursor
of the modern day helicopter.

illustrated the compression of air that
was intended to lift the device off the ground.

Mechanical Drum
Leonardo da Vinci’s mechanical drum was
designed as a cart equipped with an amply
sized drum. When pulled by its handle,
the gears turn the two lateral drums,
which are fitted with pegs. The pegs move
a total of ten drumsticks that cause
them to beat the large drum.
The scientific genius of Leonardo Da Vinci is brought to life through
articulated models offered by Edu-Science. The inventions that inspired
these snap-together replicas are taken from the pages of Da Vinci’s
priceless and awe-inspiring notebooks.
