Labels:text | screenshot | font OCR: Although this seems a straightforward experiment, it is doubtful that Leonardo ever carried it out, since the expansion ratio of steam to water is 1600:1, and the mathematics do not compute. On page 15r, another series of drawings shows variations of this proposal. The great difference between the volume of water and that of steam represents a contin- uing flaw in Leonardo's thought experiments, one that seems inherited from his predecessors On this page we can see Leonardo adjusting the design of the experiment to gain the results he wanted.
