意大利冷知識:米蘭運河的水閘是達芬奇設計的
米蘭運河的水閘是達芬奇設計的
達芬奇真是個多才多藝的人,不光是個藝術家,還設計了那麼多機器。
他給米蘭運河設計的全球第一座“斜接門”水閘現已成為世界上最常見的水閘系統。
The first “conca” - “miter gate” water lock was constructed in Milan in 1496 to compensate the difference in the water levels between Naviglio di Martesana and the circular channel. It was conceived & designed by Leonardo da Vinci during his first travel to Milan in 1482 and nowadays it is the most common water gates arrangement worldwide.
世界上第一座“斜接門”水閘是於1496年在米蘭建造的(這種門在意大利語中叫conca),它被用以彌補納維利奧運河和圓形通道之間的水位差。它是由萊昂納多·達·芬奇在1482年首次前往米蘭時構思和設計的,如今,它已成為全球最常見的水閘系統。
