About Leonardo da Vinci and Studies for the Design of a Mechanical Perpetual Wheel (1515)

Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) made this work around 1515. Like many engineers of his time, Leonardo studied designs for perpetual-motion machines such as self-turning wheels and self-powered pumps. Unusually, he concluded that such machines could never work, and his careful analysis of why they fail is an early lesson in physics. It is preserved in the Veneranda Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan.
