Leonardo was impatient with philosophers who gathered knowledge only from books. He shaped his ideas by experiment. Consider his wind-up car. It is a laboratory of big ideas. Construct cars that are designed for experiment: measure for distance (stored energy); knock over towers (momentum); engage in duels (game theory); and design your own challenges.
