Bookwheel

3D Model

The bookwheel is one of the most famous designs from the book “Le diverse et artificiose machine del Capitano Agostino Ramelli”, (or The various and ingenious machines of Captain Agostino Ramelli), book published in 1588 by italian engineer Agostino Ramelli. The book contains 195 designs, over 100 of which are water-raising machines, such as water pumps or wells. Other designs include bridges, mills, and a possible forerunner to the Wankel engine. 3D model made in Blender for the Machine Thinking youtube channel, for the video talking about the Printing Press (one of my most know 3d models). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZEHNbmz_9A
