 this huy was born in April 15, 1452
Leonardo
di ser Piero da Vinci was an Italian Renaissance polymath: painter,
sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer,
inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer
He
is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and
perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived.[2]
According to art historian Helen Gardner, the scope and depth of his
interests were without precedent and "his mind and personality seem to
us superhuman, the man himself mysterious and remote
He
conceptualised a helicopter, a tank, concentrated solar power, a
calculator,[6] and the double hull, and he outlined a rudimentary theory
of plate tectonics. Relatively few of his designs were constructed or
were even feasible during his lifetime,[nb 3] but some of his smaller
inventions, such as an automated bobbin winder and a machine for testing
the tensile strength of wire, entered the world of manufacturing
unheralded.[nb 4] He made important discoveries in anatomy, civil
engineering, optics, and hydrodynamics, but he did not publish his
findings and they had no direct influence on later science.[7]
as well as plans for several flying machines, including a light hang glider and a machine resembling a helicopter.[17]
