3D CAD simulation Leonardo DaVinci's self propelled cart
(OP)
Hello all,
Here is a 3D CAD simulation of Leonardo DaVinci's self propelled cart using SolidWorks:

If anyone knows of other interesting 3D CAD simulations of ancient or renaissance engineering please post them here.
cheers,

Thanks for your post. The simulation in SolidWorks appears to show that this particular idea from Leonardo Da Vinci was workable. Not sure if you looked at the simulation, but you may want to have a look at it and comment. Of course, there could be errors in the simulation. And perhaps the cart was not practical enough to be used day to day. But am still impressed how Da Vinci could visualize these mechanisms without CAD.
Cheers,

This cart was on a show and it had programmable steering, if I remember correctly.

Thanks, Pressed
Those videos are really interesting! I had not seen the second one from the institute and museum of history of science.

Luck is a difficult thing to verify and therefore should be tested often. - Me
