I've never seen a child who's never seen a tank, helicopter, etc draw out plans on how they could be built, find out why the sky is blue, why people die from old age, etc.The anatomical studies were something all great artists did if they truly wanted to be able to show the human figure in art. Lucky for us we have DVDs showing us all the info so we don't have to get our hands dirty. You can’t just toss out everything he’s ever done as “child’s amateurish impressions”.

It's done to just make another step for a thief to have to do so stealing his work isn't as good an idea. It could make them think it's useless if they don't think it out or take it to someone that knows how to fix it. Also finding someone willing to make a prototype of something is hard as is without passed up plansIt wasn't just Da Vinci's idea, it was common place.

Prepare to be very jarred in your opinion of Leonardo and his “Silent years”.

The Vitruvian Man? A doodle, done on an etch-a-sketch. The tank, the helicopter, the parachute? A child's amateurish impressions, filched from the Florence military. The anatomical studies?

Or was it a strong set of fundamentals bred from his youth in the forests, and desire to prove himself, as an illegitimate son? Had he influenced his peers on a grander scale the essence of scientific approach so commonly seen in everything he notes down or makes a study of, the world might have turned out to be a rather different place.His emphasis and appreciation for nature, combined with the multiple talents and that insatiable curiosity for almost anything, makes him one of the most original and superior thinkers ever. It is this "divine" understanding of all things that made him invent working objects meant for the sky, a place man can only dream to be floating in at that time.In response to the petty comments below, as brilliant as Michelangelo is, Leonardo is a person far more worthy of modern day study. It isn't his work, rather, it is his comprehension of the world that is fascinating. His coming from a wealthy background is almost completely out of point, as it was, he made his capabilities rather well known early in life, and had no troubles obtaining commissioned work, until perhaps when his pursuit of perfection pissed off the kings.Above all, Leonardo's notebooks clearly reflects that he challenges the common census that we all use to determine truth. That itself could have propelled humanity forward, had the people around him not lack the foresight to appreciate his thoughts.Pity these people die without any descendants. Was it genetic mutation?

Pity these people die without any descendants.

I am so sick of these blockages; I realize it's not YouTube's fault, but it is definitely the fault of corporations that are so anti-consumer and out of touch with the reality of information exchange and modern technology. I have no words to express my contempt for these people. Same here.

First if designs on paper were always 100% correct there would be no reason to go through the prototyping stage. The first build is where u find and correct the bugs. Secondly any one who had the ability to crate one of his designs wouldn’t just scratch their head if something didn’t work rite and walk away. building it would present the problem and you could address it. this is prototyping I’ve never been able to buy into the theory Da Vinci drew the mechanics of his designs on incorrect purpose as some sort of security measure.
