  [V.5C  The fury of the elements]    
 
     

Along with studies aimed at exploiting natural energy, Leonardo shows a fascination for the uncontrolled explosions of the elements. Bearing witness to this are a conspicuous number of drawings depicting scenarios of cosmic devastation produced by the combined action of the forces of air and winds, water and fire. The furious action of the elements is however portrayed in a manner perfectly in keeping with Leonardo's conclusions on the modes of diffusion of natural energy.
