Self-Supporting Bridge | No Nails, Just Physics!

Watch as this incredible self-supporting bridge—originally designed by Leonardo da Vinci—comes to life! 🏗️✨ This brilliant engineering feat requires no nails, screws, or extra fasteners, relying solely on precision, balance, and interlocking wooden pieces. Using just nine wooden beams, the bridge holds together through pure physics and smart design.

The way he steps on it shows how much faith he actually has on it.

Truly awesome.
Beautiful in its simplicity
Leonardo da Vinci was a genius

So not only a Brilliant Artist but Engineer too.

award-winning actor and a bridge inventor? not bad ngl

All that remains is to find a huge man who will support the entire structure with his hand during the construction process.

😮 Master Leonardo da Vinci was way ahead of his time & many of his imventions still in use today! 🙏🌷🌿🌏🕊🇮🇹

[canopy]

Intelligence and creativity displayed very well here

If ure wondering how it works, the center horizontal piece which supports the sides is supported by the other side pieces which are supported by the other horizontal pieces which are supported by the sides which are supported by the middle, so essentially it distributes the weight only to the ground

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication!

Wow! How clever and versatile was Leonardo Da Vinci. A truly intelligent man.

[IreneAchernar]

Even if it's useless, it's still a delightfully creative idea.

I miss Leonardo, it's been so long since I last talked to him.

[reubenmossley]

Some of the old stone chapels, for example, the year 1500. Had roofs built like this

[ColdWarVet]

Its what we now call a Truss, that holds up most bridges and roofs. Thanks Leonardo!

I am Italian and passionate (and expert) about Leonardo da Vinci, I have membership card no. 3 of the "Leo fan club".😊 of Vicenza.

[anneashley]

Well done young man for following Leonardo

[rajdipghosh]

Da vinci was an alien of his era.... massive respect to him

[james.]

Did this with popsicle sticks in grade school.

[rangerarmonika]

The way the rooster is looking at him. 😂😂😂

The Rainbow Bridge built during the Song dynasty (1085–1145) and shown on the Qingming Scroll predates Leonardo (1452 -1519)
