Is it a car....????


Several Italians recorded designs for wind driven vehicles. The first was Guido da Vigevano in 1335. It was a windmill type drive to gears and thus to wheels. Vaturio designed a similar vehicle which was also never built. Later Leonardo da Vinci designed a clockwork driven tricycle with tiller steering and a differential mechanism between the rear wheels.

Marco,

Are you Marcos Aurelio?
I´ve included your blog in our PAGEFLAKES under Danubia´s groups. Loved the pictures you´ve included and the topic you chose. One of my favourite programs on TV is Auto Esporte. I love hearing about new and old cars and imagining about cars in the future. The idea of a car which runs on air is superb, isn´t it? It would solve many of our problems.

Keep up the good work!

Visit other blogs and start interacting. Remember this is real interaction!
