In the Footsteps of da Vinci

04/22/2006 11:54 AM

PBS has been airing once again this year the fascinating 2005 documentary of two British engineering teams attempting two build designs that Leonardo Da Vinci created more than 500 years ago. ""Leonardo's Dream Machines" shows the technical highs and lows of modern-day engineers obsessed with building a wooden glider with a 30-foot wingspan, and what was intended in da Vinci's time to be the ultimate weapon of war - an 80-foot-wide crossbow to fire cannon balls. A captivating tribute to history's ultimate "artist engineer." If you missed the telecast, get it on DVD.

Leonardo was THE master engineer. Was crptex really invented by him? I'm so amazed by its ingenious design.
