Over 500 years ago, when Leonardo da Vinci conceived the tank, car, helicopter, glider, parachute, submarine, lift, and telescope, he was deemed a visionary or even mad. However, in today's perspective, he is revered as a genius, far ahead of his contemporaries. This book encompasses a diverse range of ancient and modern inventions, some of which are groundbreaking, others amusing, and others deemed implausible. Nevertheless, each of these creations bears witness to the extraordinary creativity of their inventors. Within these pages, you will discover a flying bicycle, bubble telegraph, passenger clouds, and passenger birds, mechanical chess players, a water clock, a concentration hood, and numerous other awe-inspiring ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 612g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 254 x 210 x 18 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781776571703\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Malgorzata Mycielska","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44097385791738,"sku":"9781776571703","price":10.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/bd5f664aa5905a5e06dfe5bb88b5f551.jpg?v=1630380118","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/impossible-inventions","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
