Edu-Science Da Vinci Series Kits

The scientific genius of Leonardo Da Vinci is brought to life through

these snap-together replicas are taken from the pages of Da Vinci’s

priceless and awe-inspiring notebooks.

Aerial Screw

The Aerial Screw design is a precursor

of the modern day helicopter.

The drawing of Da Vinci’s concept

illustrated the compression of air

that was intended to lift

the upper part (propeller or screw)

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.
