Description
Italiano: La macchina è stata disegnata da Leonardo per produrre specchi concavi. Azionandola, la mola verticale si muove circolarmente e, grazie alla combinazione di ruote dentate, trasmette il movimento anche alla base sulla quale è posizionato uno specchio che, girando, assume una forma concava.

Gli specchi concavi, all’epoca, erano usati per convogliare l’energia solare ed il suo calore in un punto facilitando le operazioni di saldatura di ampie superfici.

Molta curiosità infatti destarono, all’epoca, le saldature eseguite per realizzare la palla di Santa Maria del Fiore. Leonardo condusse studi ed esperimenti sugli specchi parabolici perché si riteneva potessero consentire la produzione e l’accumulo di energia.
English: The machine was designed by Leonardo to make concave mirrors. When operated, the vertical grinding wheel moves in a circular motion and, thanks to a combination of gearwheels, it also transmits this motion to the base on which a mirror is placed, which takes on a concave shape as it rotates.

At the time, concave mirrors were used to concentrate the sun's energy and its heat, making it easier to weld large surfaces.

Indeed, the welds used to make the Santa Maria del Fiore sphere aroused great curiosity at the time. Leonardo carried out studies and experiments on parabolic mirrors, believing that they could be used to produce and store energy.
Français : La machine a été conçue par Léonard pour produire des miroirs concaves. En l'actionnant, la meule verticale se déplace de façon circulaire et, grâce à une combinaison de roues dentées, transmet le mouvement à la base sur laquelle est posé un miroir qui, en tournant, prend une forme concave.

À l'époque, les miroirs concaves étaient utilisés pour canaliser l'énergie solaire et sa chaleur vers un point, facilitant ainsi le soudage de grandes surfaces.

En effet, les soudures utilisées pour réaliser la boule de Santa Maria del Fiore ont suscité beaucoup de curiosité à l'époque. Léonard a mené des études et des expériences sur les miroirs paraboliques car on pensait qu'ils pouvaient permettre de produire et de stocker de l'énergie.
Deutsch: De machine werd door Leonardo ontworpen om concave spiegel te produceren. Um die Maschine zu bedienen, bewegt sich der vertikale Schlitten auf eine kreisförmige Art und Weise und dank einer Kombination von Drehknöpfen wird die Bewegung auch auf die Basis übertragen, auf der ein Spiegel platziert wird, der, während er sich dreht, eine konkave Form annimmt.

In de tijd worden hoole spiegel gebruikt om zonne-energie en de harte ervan naar een punt te leiden, waardoor het lassen van grote oppervlakken vergemakkelijk is.

Veel nieuwsgierigheid werd in de tijd gewekt door de lassen die gebruikt werden om de bol van Santa Maria del Fiore te maken. Leonardo da Vinci untersuchte und experimentierte mit Parabolspiegeln, um herauszufinden, wie man damit Energie erzeugen und speichern kann.
