A man who used the combination of his own intellect and imagination to record his designs of the inventions and innovations that could of revolutionized the world. The visionary that studied plenty of disciplines in his lifetime. Taking part in engineering, painting, sculpting, architecture, literature, anatomy and many other scientific subjects. Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci added his ingenious mind to such an abundant amount of subjects during his study of them that he epitomized the term Polymath. Leonardo da Vinci was born in Vinci, Italy 1465 yet his intellect was beyond the time he was born in. He was a scientist, inventor, engineer and most notably known as an artist. Though people believe he should be known as a scientist …show more content…
Leonardo da Vinci was a scientist, an artist, and an engineer and in all of these placements he planted his unorthodox mark them, historians are learning from his research papers to this day. Da Vinci created marvelous inventions and designed plenty ideas of Architectural innovations, war machines, and flying machines. Though none of his inventions were built in his lifetime, his records have used for their knowledge. And inventions created centuries after his passing used his ideas, what seemed to be unorthodox at the time, as the foundation of their inventions. Leonardo legitimately had a full life as he discovered the world for what is and the inhabitants that live within it. Exploring through Da Vinci’s designs and research, one could truly see his inventive, creative, and unconventional mind. Leonardo was a pacifist and one the first vegetarians in history, but that did not stop his benefactor from using his high intellect and creativity in order to design the most devastatingly powerful machine known to man for war. Da Vinci was famous during the time of he was offered a profession as a military engineer, but was not wealthy at all. In order to survive and to support his other research he had to take up on the job. He invented …show more content…
Da Vinci saw that the cannons of the time had a lower firing rate, it took too reload in order to fire again quickly. His solution to this problem was the invention of the 33-Barreled Organ. The Organ was consisted of 33 small caliber guns placed on a revolving triangular platform with wheels on either side of it. There would be 11 guns placed in a row on all sides of the platform. During battle, all of the guns would be loaded, then the first row would shot off. The platform would then rotate to the second row, and fire its projectiles quickly while the first set cools off. Once it gets to the third set, operators would reload the first set so it could be fire after the third. This created a constant efficient cycle of firing which potential could make its firing rate endless. The 33 barreled organ was the proto-machine gun and ended the limited firing rate of cannons. Another issue with the cannon Leonardo Da Vinci saw was its mobility. The reason for this was that the standard canon was too heavy and took too long to reload making it hard to move around anywhere one would want. Leonardo fixed this mobility problem by designing the Triple barreled cannon. This cannon featured 3 thin front-loading cannons with adjustable height. The Triple barreled cannon was able to fire 3 shots before reloading increasing its firing
