水利工程(Hydraulic projects)
在全面复兴的文艺复兴时期,水管理一直是欧洲城市和州的主要电力问题。水路成为运输货物的新“高速公路”。达芬奇(Leonardo da Vinci)非常迅速地了解了液压科学的关键作用。该旋转桥通过垂直枢轴固定在其中一个立柱上,从而使其能够自行打开。绳索和滑轮系统可帮助桥梁在短短几分钟内移动,从而为船舶腾出空间或撤出水上通道。该列充当平衡点。
This swing bridge is fixed on to one of the banks with a vertical pivot that allows it to turn on itself. A system of ropes and pulleys help the bridge move in just a few minutes to make room for the ships or withdraw access across the water. The column acts as the balance point.
弗朗索瓦(François)请达芬奇(Leonardo da Vinci)进行一个连接卢瓦尔河和罗纳河的项目。主人构思了船闸,河道建设,吊桥,甚至是王国的航道的明轮船。
François I asked Leonardo da Vinci to work on a project which linked the Loire and Rhône rivers. The master conceived locks, river construction, swing bridges, and even paddle boats for the Kingdom's channels.
