 * Water fascinated Da Vinci, he call it "the driver of nature". He once planned to write a book on the movement of water, but never succeeded. instead he left sketches and notes on his thoughts about water. He also excelled in hydraulics, water engineering. His ideas spanned from canal digging to new lock gate designs. He found a way to measure water in a reservoir, using his knowledge of hydraulics. He made plans for what resembles a modern day air lift pump, this device makes bubbles rise. He also made plans to help improve natural difficulties like draining swamps, Most of his plans never excelled due to his lack of funding. || The Pilgrims had to cross the Atlantic in two months, and Leonardo decided to further investigate their ships in hopes of speeding up their voyage and ensuring a safe trip. As his investigations continued he discovered that they had many defects and sought to improve them. He studied the movement of the water to better understand a ships travel. Along with water research, came land ones as well. He mad many small discoveries on his rode to larger ones. This included the large wheel, he learned that a large wheel turns easier than a small one. This information was added to his already vast knowledge of friction studies. || Ptomely was a map maker. He probably made the most important map ever used. He was the first to make a complete map of the world during the Renaissance times. His map was extremely influential, It led to other discoveries like the invention of latitude and longitude lines. They where invented by Pablo Toscanelli, who noticed that Ptomely used linear perspective to make his map, and Toscanelli copied his approach. Ptomely's map also helped navigate Christopher Columbus to the Americas. ||
