DA VINCI…. my POV…
… had many ‘technical’ ideas, but was unable to realize most of his ‘projects’….
Was he really a genious ? 😀 …… That was my conclusion after visiting -this week in Brussels- a ‘fantastic’ exhibition about his ‘wild imaginings’…
so, I agree with wikipedia ;
Leonardo is revered[2] for his technological ingenuity. He conceptualised a helicopter, a tank, concentrated solar power, a calculator,[6] and the double hull, and he outlined a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics. Relatively few of his designs were constructed or were even feasible during his lifetime,[nb 3] but some of his smaller inventions, such as an automated bobbin winder and a machine for testing the tensile strength of wire, entered the world of manufacturing unheralded.[nb 4] He made important discoveries in anatomy, civil engineering, optics, and hydrodynamics, but he did not publish his findings and they had no direct influence on later science.[7]
