Hello everyone! I have recently been having a look at some of Leonardo's inventions, and was wondering which of them would either be effective in their field or not? And could they have altered Renaissance Society?
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
Architectural Inventions:
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
Flying craft:
Parachutes, based on a square pyramidal structure with the floor of that being the fabric designed to slow you down.
Anemometer (wind speed meter)
Water and Land Machines:
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.
