Description

Leonardo da Vinci's proposed concept of a Tank which is propelled by two men powering crank shafts. It was once constructed in a BBC documentary by a military team and one of the gears was changed in order to make the machine work. It has bee suggested that Leonardo left this error in the design on purpose to prevent unauthorized people from using it.
