Description

No nails, no rope, no glue. Leonardo da Vinci sketched a bridge of identical wooden beams woven over and under each other: the weight presses them together and friction locks them in place. Soldiers could build it in minutes, and pulling out one beam brings it all down. #engineering #davinci #shorts
