The Leonardo da Vinci Bombard is a working re-creation of his 15th Century design. As well as being an artist, Leonardo was a military engineer who drew many designs of weapons for the Dukes of his time. This bombard re-creates one of Leonardo's iconic images of a cannon and exploding cannonballs. Launch projectiles and re-live those whimsical Renaissance days!
The Bombard is a type of cannon that was used during the Middle Ages and early modern period. Leonardo da Vinci's Bombard was designed with an eploding hollow projectile that contained many more small projectiles that would rain down on the enemy.
Powered by elastics, this working model has hollow projectiles, great for scientific testing of how weight, and trajectory angles affects distance when launched.
- Easy to make in about an hour
