La catapulta / ballista a torsione come sistema meccanico e la riscoperta moderna di conoscenze antiche. Un percorso didattico (2021)

unapi

This paper reviews a few educational activities for secondary-school students, designed to raise their historical awareness in the technological sphere. The topics have been rearranged to follow a journey from the individual bow to the catapult / ballista of the third century bc that helps understand the development of the concept of a complex machine – in the sense of a mechanical system intended to exploit some motive power – and reconsider the traditional chronology of the discovery and use of some mechanisms – the issue of the πρῶτος εὑρετής.
