Leonardo da Vinci - namesake of this site, born this day April 15, 1452 --lived to May 2, 1519 - genius da Vinci: Italian inventor, artist, architect, and scientist, Da Vinci had an interest in engineering and made detailed sketches of:
the airplane
the helicopter and other flying machines
the parachute
the submarine
the armored car
the ballista (a giant crossbow)
rapid-fire guns
the centrifugal pump (designed to drain wet areas, like marshes)
ball bearings
contact lenses
the worm gear (a set of gears in which many teeth make contact at once, reducing the strain on the teeth,
allowing more pressure to be put on the mechanism), and many other incredible ideas that were
centuries ahead of da Vinci's time.
