Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, more
commonly Leonardo da Vinci (15 April 1452 – 2
May 1519) was an Italian polymath. He was a
painter, sculptor, architect, scientist, musician,
mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist,
geologist, astronomer, cartographer, botanist,
historian 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 in the Western world. He is
referred to as the Father of paleontology
alongside Georges Cuvier. His genius, perhaps
more than that of any other figure, epitomized
the Renaissance humanist ideal. Leonardo has often been described as the
archetype of the Renaissance Man, a man of "unquenchable curiosity" and
"feverishly inventive imagination". 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".]
Marco Rosci states that while there is much speculation about Leonardo,
his vision of the world is essentially logical rather than mysterious, and that the
empirical methods he employed were unusual for his time.

2. Triple Barrel Cannon
As a military engineer, one of Leonardo da
Vinci’s key beliefs was that mobility was
crucial to victory on the battlefield. This idea
is seen in many of his war inventions, from
his mobile bridges and ladders to many of his
weapon designs. A prime example is da
Vinci’s triple barrel canon invention. During
da Vinci’s 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 light weapon that
could do a lot of damage on the battlefield.
