Weapons of War:
- 33 Barreled Cannon, 3 rows of 11 to reduce loading time
- Giant Crossbow (27 yards across) that fires flaming bombs or rocks
- Triple Barred Cannon, designed as an adjustable rack for easy movement and rapid deployment
- A more accurate clock, with springs instead of weights to help it move
- Ideal city, based around easy transportation with water also acting as a sewage system, wide roads. Basically, improved medieval cities
- Spring powered cart that was coiled up and could move along a track after being coiled up
- Parachutes, based on a square pyramidal structure with the floor of that being the fabric designed to slow you down.
- Anemometer (wind speed meter)
- Scuba Gear that is far too complicated for me to explain, but could've been used to sink enemy ships.
- Revolving bridge that used a rope and pulley system that could be used to isolate armies or evacuate armies rapidly.
Thanks for Reading!
