Lecture
Da Vinci's Gearbox Experiment
Description
This lecture presents a Da Vinci-inspired design challenge focusing on a thought experiment from the Codex Atlanticus involving a gearbox that multiplies rotational speed. The team aimed to stay true to Da Vinci's sketch by building a wooden machine, studying forces, moments, and heat analysis. Despite reaching impressive results, the gearbox ultimately failed due to torque.
