The Academy 18175 Da Vinci Leverage Crane brings da Vinci's lever-based solution into a compact model that highlights simple machine theory. This kit is part of Academy's series celebrating historical engineering and invites careful assembly and study.
Leonardo's sketches show a deep grasp of leverage and load control well ahead of modern crane technology. This model reproduces those ideas so builders can examine how forces are applied and distributed in a classic mechanical arrangement.
Assembly is focused on fitting and alignment, rewarding attention to small details. Because the parts are produced in colour and assembled without glue, the completed crane makes an effective display element for any collection interested in inventive design history.
