I'd say, the design can work, but from the looks of it, his design covers too smal of a area to create a lift. Helicopters' rotors covers a much wider area than their own bodies, but since his helicopter has huge limitations, he may need to cover a much wider area and have lighter, but sturdier materials to work with and also create a system that uses a person or 2's own weight to generate greater power than what could achieve by hand or pedaling.
for me its very interesting since I just recently saw a wind turbine that used the screw design, similar to the davinci's design and it was way more effective at power generation.
I'm not really working on any great projects, but for school we have to make a presentation on a great inventor of our choice. I chose Leonardo Da Vinci, but I want to make the presentation interesting, by creating a simple model - it doesn't have to work - to furthermore describe how it revolutionised technology. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything simple enough to model, however. Great video though!
This model is in hobby lobby for 12 bucks too bad I am here too late
I wish you could put a motor on it to see if it would actually take off. I am looking for a motorized da Vinci flying screw.
Some guys tried that with a human-size one, and it didn't work.
@@thejupiter2
It would if it spun fast enough and was made out of a durable enough material, like lightweight metals.
@@michaelfixedsys7463 it doesn't generate lift.
@@miamiwax5504
It generates thrust like a turbine
@@michaelfixedsys7463 anything will generate lift with enough power. So?
Very cool. Awesome to see one of his great works done in real life(or in my case over a video. Nicely done
Would it work in a denser environment, such as under water?
it works in the ground
Yup
You need basically a way to capture the air and push it through

Yes it’s called a propeller
The water screw had been in use for 2000 years. Leo was just thinking laterally, its the prototype of a propeller. A bit more experimenting and they would have been motoring around in gondolas.
Pode não funcionar. Mas a ideia é brilhante. É o começo do sonho de voar. Parabéns pelo modelo.
I'm building one of the plastic clocks now but also got this. I'm surprised no one that I'm aware of has tried to make a balsa or styrofoam model and use a small electric motor. Likely will only go up and down though.
First of all, GREAT JOB! I wish to make my own, or just buy one. I have a couple of ideas to make this actually work:
1) I noticed there was taper to the screw. First make that screw a uniform diameter. Now place a cylindrical shell around it; a shroud (paper). Make it a close fit around the screw. It should function like an Archimedes screw. But led me to a 2nd idea.
2) Instead of that cylindrical shroud idea, which adds weight, how about if we just add a LIP to the underside of the screw? This lip should be large enough to keep the air spilling out.
I would start with idea #2. It's not that hard to just add the lip that I'm thinking of.
Busy building one from the kit - this is a great video!
Very awesome job
hey david you will have the measurements you used, they let me do your mechanism for an exam
Water pumps use a screw to pull water and not just pumps but this amazing simple machine is used in many other complex tasks. So yes, it 'may' work in water. There are a lot of variables here. Noone except people without much scientific knowledge is interested in this idea as we have got propellers and impellers which are a lot better. Modern Helicopters are more like the Chinese bamboo copter than this Italian device.
I built this model last night, it was a lot of fun! Next stop, catapult.
How to find the model
This is really cool and I would like to know how efficient such air screw is. Has it ever been seriously tried out with modern technique? And will a longer screw give more thrust?
someone did it sort of by attaching it to a drone
I used this design for an egg drop competition. It was pretty hard to make from scratch in just under 4 hours but I did!!
Holy shit. That sounds impossible :D 4 hours??
Wow this is cool a little surprised it didn't work I just finished his clock and it's sweet to look at and this one also can't work for a clock I would say it's more like a timer or a hour glass but it's sweet how it works
Niceone ❣️..BTW Which flexible wood u are using ???..
DaVinci has a spiral spring to spin the device quickly for a short moment
Most of Leonardo's inventions were conceptual and would have required more development to actually work, but they're great nevertheless.
Тонкий бамбук и калька , вот материалы для летательных аппаратов ! А фанера , древесина и бумага тяжелы через чур ! И вращающий момент при пуске побольше ( за счёт разницы диаметров колёс , и никаких зубчатых передач , только пассики ) , лишь так покоряется небо !
I was hoping to find someone that aged this kit to make it look hundreds of years old...have you ever done that to one of these kits?
Make wooden material interchanged with areosol and power the rotator faster with bigger area and light wight wings
Can’t it generate torque if faced into the wind? Would be good to power electric motor for sailing up wind
i bet if he combined this idea with the bike they could've done it
I'm working on a giant machine that let's us to walk through air
I want to see that :D
thanks for everything
Can u make his tank design next?
That is not flying helicopter. It is part of the industrial steelmaking blast furnace. It is air compressor. Steelmaking needs air pressure.
Wait...
@@sirnikkel6746 Wait what? A new subscriber?
Maybe...
Hello by any chance can you help me with the measurements or a plan because I would like to make this machine on my own.
I appreciate your videos Julian! I have just finished my first stop motion video called 'Dead Guy Rap' and posted it to You Tube a couple of days ago. I'm really enjoying this hobby.
Thank you! I totally agree, its one of those hobbys where you can deep dive into the great corners of the internet and find yourself hours later reading about powder printers and replacement faces or the usage of green screens on the set of "isle of dogs" :D
How DaVinci got famous wasn't his invention, it was the ideas of flying with mechanical objects.
The man was literally a 1000 years ahead of his time.
Search RUclips for "Crimson Spin: A New Take on da Vinci's Aerial Screw." You can watch the concept actually work!
Bruj it don’t work
As of 4 days ago this question was answered .a resounding kinda ...
Genius
It is too narrow to fly, compared, say, to a helicopter. The outer parts of the rotor move much faster; the inner parts do not contribute much lift. So the design is inherently flawed. You don't need "rotor area" close to the axis, it only increases weight without contributing much. Another thing that da Vinci's design does not take into account, is that the centrifugal force pushes the rotors away, and this is what tensions them to bear the weight of the helicopter. I mean, try to hang a helicopter from its rotors while they are static = the rotors will break. But when the rotors rotate, they do bear the weight of the helicopter. I don't think da Vinci's design should be taught at schools as a "precursor to helicopter".

What is is the name of the book which you shord in first.please reply
No way this side of hell will that fly. No pitch control, no roll control, no yaw control. Pity the test pilot.........
You're giving me ideas.. I should make a test flight video with a tiny stunt dummy and and just try how hard I can distroy it :D
Amazing video...I your newest sub. Thanks and greetings from Cork
Hello, I want to build a helicopter, but the noise of the propellers bothers me. Do you think the Leonardo Da Vinci helicopter could fly and make less noise. I would use an electric motor as a drive.
I'm afraid the screw is actually kind of impractical. You're probably best off with some super efficient Drone motors.
@@AnarchyAutomatons there is also a quieter solution, i d´ont like noise
BTW there are also modern helicopters with this type of rotorblades rather then airplane type. Most of RC helicopters work like that.
What paper do you use?
Davinci was a great artist and a fun mind.
He did not understand Airofoil and so so he did not Invent anything but a toy of the mind, still fun but an aircrew is of no use.
So, news flash, it has been tested and it works.
Imagine it with a tiny screw-thread tail rotor to stop it spinning horribly as soon as it leaves the ground.
Or use 4 rotors and try and make a Da Vinci Drone
The Da Vinci Drone, I love it.
Somebody did it! Search RUclips " "Crimson Spin: A New Take on da Vinci's Aerial Screw."
What is the use of the flying screw
What gonna happen if I use a high rpm motor to fly this screw ??
Mayhem 😁
I inventeing flying machines 💖
It can. Drone just proved it.
Can this design actually generate positive lift at high rpm’s?
I don't think so. Though modern rotors surely are somewhat inspired by this, the screw isn't very economical with the energy. Maybe it could propell you through water a little bit.
@@AnarchyAutomatons thank you for your insight!
Yes! Search RUclips: "Crimson Spin: A New Take on da Vinci's Aerial Screw."
This is missing a rear rotor so I don't think it can fly no matter how fast you spin.
Spin it the other way see what happens
Highly dubious
Highly dubious indeed.
How does this make him genius? Flying device that doesnt work.
So you think this was the only thing da Vinci thought about? He invented so many things even parachutes. You need to investigate more
He lived in 1400, and he tried to invent a flying machine (which would have been invented after 500 more years) while most of the people at that time didn't know how to talk neither, he invented a prototipe of a tank, he invented a machine gun. Da Vinci was a genius or way beyond the average person in multiple fields, not only engineering. How in 2020 with an internet connection can you ignore his discoveries? Quite sad.
@@riemanndiy6693 Not to mention his progress in anatomy, undeniable genius
Guess I just looked for a title that makes you watch my video... AND I SUCCEEDED... Muhahahaha!
Like si te apareció un anuncio antes del video
Make this super light and it will bit not with all tha ply wood not for shit lol make it out of realy light flex wood and use a hollow core
Wind turbine
This don't fly
