We are the inventors group, and we are going to talk to you about two different inventors and some of their inventions of the renaissance.

A real one was made that actually worked though. All of this was happening somewhere in Italy. Da Vinci was an inventor as well as an artist. Why he drew this, it is hard to tell. But he did and it actually worked. Well, Da Vinci never made it, but if he did he 23 would have made a lot of money. Ornithopter The ornithopter was created by Leonardo Da Vinci, around 1505. It was created in Malin in Da Vinci’s workshop. The reason the ornithopter was created was because Da Vinci had a theory of flight. How it was created the prototype was paper and stick. Da Vinci had a lot of theories and it was a really good theory that we used today. Some Inventions Leonardo drew most of his inventions but did not build them, like the Giant Crossbow, but he did make some pretty great inventions like the Ball Bearing which he made in 1498 -1500, the Parachute, the Machine gun technically it was a rapid fire machine, and a Revolving bridge. Most of these machines are still use today some of his drawings led to some of the things we use today like his drawing of the Diving gear which lead to the modern day diving …show more content…
He first commenced work on his printing press in Europe, Germany 1438 and had finished it by 1460. The printing press was made for the monks so they did not have to write books. This was a big deal because if monks would mess up on a book they would have to restart on the whole book. He got the idea from Bi Sheng, the first inventor of the printing press but never made the machine. “Nearly 600 years before Gutenberg, Chinese monks were setting ink to paper using a method known as block printing, in which wooden blocks are coated with ink and pressed to sheets of paper.” In conclusion, Leonardo Da Vinci and the printing press were some of the most successful people and things ever created. The printing press was able to make books faster than Monks and normal people could write them and some of the inventions that Da Vinci revolutionized the world that we know, Especially the ball bearing that allows most of the machines that we know work. All in all, those things we talked about were the most important things to that time period, and to the
He worked on building it but failed. 1830: A French man named Barthelemy Thimonneir was able to convince people about the usefulness of the machine and made a batch of machines to make uniforms for the French army. 1845: Elias Howes’ brother got sent off to England to find anyone else interested in the sewing machine.
Exploration or Reformation: Which Was the More Important Consequence of the Printing Press? Historians around the world believe that the printing press was one of the greatest and most rebellious advances in world history. The printing press was created around the 1450s by a goldsmith, Johannes Gutenberg. However, woodwork printing was first modernized by the Chinese in 600 CE. The Chinese experimented with this because they believed that it would be an easier way to keep their 50,000 characters rather than having to carve them.
His scientific discoveries are still used today for research and to gather an understanding of science. Also, da Vinci was the first to conceive and sketch his ideas for the tank, helicopter, submarine, and crossbow. Many of his inventions are now used. Leonardo da Vinci was a noteworthy Renaissance artist.
Leonardo Da Vinci was one of the greatest inventors of the Renaissance Era, a Renaissance man. A pioneer in art, engineering, and philosophy, there wasn’t something the man had thought over. However, he was a passive man who despised violence against animals or humans, but as an inventor and artist, he had to take commissions from some of the most unsavory and bloodthirsty figures of Renaissance Italy. With many Italian city-states looking to conquer each other, advancements in military tech had been celebrated ever since the war mongering days of the Middle Ages.

Kira Farmer AP11 Research Paper 3.19.2015 Galileo: The Father of Modern Science Every day, students, teachers, doctors, and scientists ponder the great minds of the past with respect.

Leonardo Da Vinci didn’t benefit everyone. He only benefitted 4 humans. Those four humans are Faust Vrančić, The Wright Brothers, and Igor Sikorsky. Since he only made diagrams, those four people used the diagrams and finished what he was going to make. They benefitted from the diagrams because they became famous for improving and completing Leonardo Da Vinci’s inventions.
What was fascinating about his plans was that the design for the tank, although it was drawn with intricate detail, there was a flaw in his drawings. “The powering cranks when turned went in the opposite direction.” (Leonardo Da Vinci - inventions) This meant that the gearing was made in a way that the front wheels of the tank would move backwards instead of forward. The theory behind this was that he purposely made a mistake in the designs because of the fear that his work might be put in the wrong hands.
