Hydraulic and Lifting DevicesLeonardo da Vinci
In this sheet of sketches (late 15th – early 16th c.), Leonardo explores mechanical solutions involving water flow and lifting systems. Pumps, pulleys, and container mechanisms suggest experiments with fluid dynamics and vertical motion. These drawings reflect his broader quest to harness natural forces for human use—fusing observation, physics, and invention.
