Which of Leonardo da vinci experiments ended disastrously?
The last supper ended disastrously because the type of paint quickly faded and chipped off.
Why did Leonardo da Vinci code his notebooks?
His notebooks aren't necessarily a masterpiece (of literature).
Leonardo's notebooks were actual notebooks, meaning that is where he sketched stuff, wrote down his ideas, drew his designs and even made notes about his personal finances. Leonardo's notebooks are a candid record into his life.
What did Leonardo da Vinci invent?
Leonardo Da Vinci was an Italian polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer. He has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance man, a man whose curiosity was equaled only by his power of invention. He made a contribution to everything known today.
Leonardo Da Vinci is remembered fr his technological ingenuity. He made many contributions to science and spent much time on his inventions. He conceptualized a helicopter and a tank. He constructed solar power, a calculator, and the double hull. He also outlined a primitive theory of plate tectonics.
Few of his designs were constructed or even possible during his life time. Some of his smaller inventions such as an automated bobbin winder and a machine for testing tensile strength of wire came into manufacturing unexpectedly.
In 1502, Leonardo made a drawing of a single span 720 foot bridge as part of a civil engineering project. The bridge was intended to span an inlet at the mouth of the Bosporus known as the Golden Horn. They didn't allow the project at the time because they believed that the construction was impossible. Leonardo, however, believed otherwise. Leonardo Da Vinci's idea was resurrected in 2001 when a smaller bridge based on his design was constructed in Norway. On May 17, 2006, the Turkish government decided to construct Leonardo's bridge to span the Golden Horn.
For much of his life Leonardo was fascinated by the phenomenon of flight. He made many studies of the flight of birds, as well as plans for several flying machines. These plans included a helicopter and a light hang glider.
No single person invented it. Like many things it evolved through the experimentation and adaptation of many brilliant men and women. The key issue here is considering a machine that could make sustained and controllable flights. There have been machines of various sizes and shapes that might have been able to lift into the sky, but designing one that could stay there for any length of time, or that could be controlled in all axes is the yardstick to be used to measure accomplishment. Igor Sikorsky is credited as building the first practical helicopter in the US (and the world's first mass-produced helicopter, the R-4, since the German machines built during WWII really weren't mass-produced), however the Germans had a flyable one several years before Sikorsky did (look up Prof. Focke and the Fw-61). And going back even further Juan Cierva of Spain can be credited with what is probably the most important invention in helicopter design when he developed an articulated rotor system for his autogyro (gyroplane).
Where are the original Leonardo da Vinci works kept?
Leonardo da Vinci died at his manor (Le Chateau du Clos Luce) in Amboise, France, on May 2, 1519. According to his wishes, he was interred at the St. Hubert Chapel at Le Chateau d'Amboise less than a kilometer from his manor.
Where was Leonardo's flying machine made?
The structure was to be wooden. It is not clear what he intended the wings to be made of.
What problem was Leonardo Di Vinci trying to solve?
Leonardo Di Vinci had a very inquisitive mind and liked to experiment with things. He was very intrigued with the idea of being able to fly and tried to develop some flying machines that would allow him to do that.
How is Leonardo da Vinci famous?
He was a great painter and the most known painting that he painted was the Mona Lisa. He has done a lot of things that make him a very known and loved person. Here are all the jobs that he has done through his life:
scientist
mathematician
engineer
inventor

What is the name of the gun that Leonardo da Vinci invented?
The Eight Barreled Machine Gun is a machine gun that has 8 barrels. It was designed by leonardo da vinci and was in his notebook (to find out more search online). This was soon given to someone else after he died and was made later. Its barrels are fanned out so that is can get a range of targets, and it can also change the angle of its shots. It was mainly used in battles in Europe during the 1800s (I think).
How did Leonardo da vinci's helicopter work?
No, he didn't have a power source that was strong enough.
What paintings were Leonardo da Vinci most famous for?
Technically his paintings are done quite traditionally in oil paint on wood panel.
This inventor painter and sculptor sketched ideas for a mechanical adding machine?
Leonardo da Vinci.
Experts mean the sketch does not really show an adding machine, but a ratio machine.
Was Leonardo da Vinci French or Italian?
No, he came from the village of Vinci, near Florence in Italy. He lived for quite a few years in Milan. The last two years of his life were spent in France, in the service of the King. That is why the "Mona Lisa" is in the Louvre.
What were some conflicts in Da Vinci's Life?
Leonardo Da Vinci was always upset with his mother because she was remarried to another man at such a young age. Leonardo hated that for the rest of his life.
What was the painting technique for the last supper?
If you mean Leonardo's painting it used the perspective, an invention which was then about 80 years old. Leonardo also invented some new paint to use here. It was a disaster and has deteriorated horribly.
What was Leonardo da Vinci's most important contribution?
He is most famous for having painted the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper.
