      Talhoffer also had some designs that were very difficult to figure out even by modern scholars. It is thought that he used the strange angles and construction mistakes were on purpose. Anyone interested in his designs would still have to pay him for building them.
      I think the 'tank design' that is pushed by horses was by him and I would be careful to disregard the design. I don't think anyone would wish to challenge the front gun and the side guns (especially if you use small shot) will ensure the enemy will keep his distance. Sure, the horses are vulnerable, but you could use it to force a hole into the enemy formation and if you have it follow up with troops they could provide defense for the horses.
      He also had a design for a functional diving suit. It is thought that the plan was to get a spy or saboteur through a moat or cross a river among other possible uses.

      This clearly was meant to fight alongside the flying saucers the army was also researching at the time. The tank would drive up to the battlefield on its economic regular tank engine before the saucer section would lift off and fly into battle returning to hunker down in case nukes started flying or to refule.

    funny thing about davinci's designs: he intentionally put critical flaws into nearly all of his sketches/renditions/etc because people were *CONSTANTLY* stealing his shit and quite frankly a lot of the stuff he came up with was stuff he never wanted to have actually built.
    the sucess rates of his actual prototypes and even a lot of the details in his artwork heavily support the idea that the majority of these critical issues were intentional.
    Tesla was pretty similar come to think of it, for exactly the same damned reason, eddison was quite literally the father of industrialized patent theft to the point where he managed to crowd out and outright kill off most of the thousands of other assholes hounding the area to steal anything trying to make it's way through the patent offices.

      Edison's on record for having more US patents than anyone else, but that's because he'd patent - under his name - anything invented by any of his employees, even if the idea was totally impractical, just in case somebody figured a way to use it. He still gets credit for things he didn't invent.

It was like the OP said, cartographers would often place roads to nowhere to know if someone had just hardcopied their work. For the purpose of keeping secrets, he had brilliant ways of concealing his truly secret work (that which would have had him executed for being a heretic). His IQ was estimated to be approx 220, which is up there. He didn't make simple mechanical mistakes concerning the direction of gears.

I think it does serve a purpose, maybe as a minor deterrent to your average Joe like Sebastian mentioned. This is highly theoretical but if he was smart enough, he could possibly have safeties against copyright that aren't obvious in the drawing, such as maybe he made the dimensions 2 times in all scales to make it too heavy to move or something, but my main point was just to say that I think Lindy gave him way too little credit.

    16:18 As a child I designed my own tank and it looked VERY similar to this, I feel really good about myself. Hahaha! Now I love your video buuuut on this particular tank? Unless those slits over the guns were added by the person who made the model, and the picture with the plans are made by someone other than the designer, It was designed to where you could see out of it. The tiny vertical slits above all of the cannons and guns were more than enough for someone to be able to see from especially considering the thing is basically two giant wheels. If a forward gunner needed to see something it would be nothing to stop and pivot left and right to pan the area, if the guns could not swing on their own, which honestly it does look like they could. Or even better serpentine until you sight something to shoot. Anything bigger than a slit on a tank is 5 alarm stupid when you actually have to have a person looking out of the literal HOLE in the tank... The only thing that would have honestly have been iffy, was the fact that it was gas tight..... Back then? Gas tight might have translated into AIR-TIGHT... and THAT might be a problem. Especially since I am willing to bet the engine heat alone might have made it unbearable.... Not to mention poor ventilation in the event of exhaust leaks. But who knows? Perhaps they would have worked all of that out? I wanna build one now.

    I think the Ratte was meant to be used as mobile artillery and not as a traditional tank. Using it that way would be more practical. I don't think that rail mounted guns were as large as the guns on the Ratte and since the Ratte was tracked, it didn't' depend on rails. Even with that said, logistics still would have been a major issue. Bombers would have been far more efficient than this type of artillery.

"I just thought 'Sturmhobbits' and thought of hobbits in Fritz helmets carrying MP40s piling out of the back of a Hanomag!" Well, the game came to a halt as we all came up with an elaborate scenario where Sauron won the War of the Ring, and eventually developed portals to allow his forces to conquer other worlds. We had Sturmhobbits, Dwarven tanks, Uruk-Hai Sturmtruppen, etc. What a great time.

    With some of the early tank designs like Ludwick's Battle Waggon I sometimes think the number of weapons drawn might be more to show where ports would be but not nesscaracily be an indication that you would fit and operator them all at the same time. You would make the smaller cannon movable with wooden mount points to slot it into and have a box of spears you poke out as needed. Maybe even have some wooden flaps on the outside to make it harder to poke in than it is to poke out. Probably mechnically simpler to have many semi-fixed mounts than a robust pivot that could survie the kick of fireing?
