1 Ibrahim Wane Leonardo da Vinci 10 th grade (Born April 15 th 1452 Vinci, Italy Died May 2 nd 1519 Aged 67 Amboise, France) Leonardo da Vinci was the most curious man and most ahead of the Middle Ages. He was a painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, military engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and writer. His curiosity led him to learn more. Some people say he is the most intelligent man that ever lived. He was obsessed with the idea of flying. He studied the art from the skies to the seas. He created objects that were related to skies (the first prototypes of helicopters, airplanes, parachutes,) to the ground (tanks, weapons, anatomy...) to the seas (scuba gears and revolving bridges) and modified the anemometer to measure the force of the wind before attempting flight.

His goal was to study the birth, life, and death of man in his Treatise on Anatomy, started in 1489.

2 Anatomical studies: Da Vinci dissected bodies at night, by candlelight, drawing with a piece of cloth covering his mouth and nose, a world away from the comfortable surroundings associated with his portrait paintings. Leonardo was the first to draw a three-dimensional dissected body. He was also the first to accurately draw the child before birth. His goal was to study the birth, life, and death of man in his Treatise on Anatomy, started in This work was never published, and knowledge that would have certainly advanced the medical science of the time was overlooked for years. Air level: Da Vinci was so obsessed about the idea of flying that he studied the way of flying of birds that led him to make prototypes of flying machines. The first airplane prototype i the one shown at the left. In our days about 1.5 billion peopl travel with airplanes daily. Most of his projects couldn t be established because of the missing materials. The first flying machines have been created hundreds of years after da

Vinci s death. The parachutes helped save lives even though that wasn t the purpose of it.

The first has been built approximately 500 years later.

3 Vinci s death. The parachutes helped save lives even though that wasn t the purpose of it. The helicopter called aerial screw also known as the "Helical Air Screw". The first has been built approximately 500 years later. Some people think da Vinci s helicopter inspired the creators that created the first ones in the 1940s. Helicopters are used for private use and not for the pleasure of flying. The designs of flying machines are not exactly the same that he did. Ground level: As a military engineer, Leonardo da Vinci built many heavy weapons and infrastructures. He built the first tank (called armoured

car) in 1485. It had a number of flight cannons arranged on a turning platform with wheels. A large protective cover, reinforced with metal, covered the platform.

Later he built triple barrel canons, during his time, canons were generally used at home in stationary positions rather than on the battlefield.

The model shown below has been opened to have a better view of how it is composed. Later he built triple barrel canons, during his time, canons were generally used at home in stationary positions rather than on the battlefield. This was because they were heavy and took a lot of time to reload. Da Vinci designed his triple barrel canon to solve both of these problems a fast and lighter weapon that could do a lot of damage on the battlefield. The giant crossbow. Da Vinci knew that the fear weapons inflicted towards

enemies was just as important (if not more so) as the damage they were capable of. This was one of the main ideas behind many of da Vinci s war we can see it because of this giant crossbow.

5 enemies was just as important (if not more so) as the damage they were capable of. This was one of the main ideas behind many of da Vinci s war we can see it because of this giant crossbow. Designed for pure intimidation, da Vinci s crossbow was. The device would have six wheels (three on each side) for mobility, and the bow itself would be made of thin wood for flexibility. 33 barreled organs that became machine guns in modern days. This powerful weapon was formed of 33 small-caliber guns interconnected. The cannons were divided into three rows of 11 guns each, connected to a platform. On the sides of the platform, wheels were attached Sea level: The scuba gear: Once again for a military purpose while working in Venice in 1500, da Vinci designed his scuba gear for sneak attacks on enemy ships from underwater.

The revolving bridge: It was designed for the Duke Sforza, Leonardo da Vinci s revolving bridge has designed and built to be quickly packed and transported easier for the use of armies to pass over

6 The revolving bridge: It was designed for the Duke Sforza, Leonardo da Vinci s revolving bridge has designed and built to be quickly packed and transported easier for the use of armies to pass over unexpected bodies of water. The bridge was able to swing. The device had wheels and a rope to pull for quick employment and easy transport. It was also equipped with a counterweight tank for balancing purposes. Even though many of Da Vinci s inventions couldn t have been made the ideas have been revised and have been executed. Those inventions are the most useful to the new world.
