Designs for Hydraulic DevicesLeonardo da Vinci

These sketches (c. 1500) illustrate Leonardo’s exploration of water-lifting systems and fluid mechanics. Through pumps, valves, and gear-driven mechanisms, he envisioned efficient ways to control and elevate water. Merging engineering with nature, these studies highlight his role as a pioneer of hydraulics during the Renaissance.
