Abstract

[There is proof of the existence in the sixteenth century of exceptional mechanical works, considered in many cases the principal European hydraulic infrastructures of the Renaissance, the water machines of Toledo, designed and built by Juanelo Turriano. The first of the two machines that existed began functioning in 1569, the second in 1581, and were finally disassembled in 1640. It was never known exactly what the machine looked like because no diagrams were saved, only some indirect descriptions. The project presented in this paper is a new model that fills in the gaps of the existing theories, without removing itself from the content of the historical texts.]
