The Greatest Inventions Ever

I'm always impressed to our scientists that have put their best effort to invent new things. To give them proper credit, I am listing couple inventions that I think are the greatest ever. Hope you like it.

Leonardo Da Vinci 

Leonardo Da VinciAs an engineer, Leonardo conceived ideas vastly ahead of his own time, conceptualizing a helicopter, a tank, concentrated solar power, a calculator, and the double hull, and outlining a rudimentary theory of plate tectonics. Relatively few of his designs were constructed or even feasible during his lifetime, 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. As a scientist, he greatly advanced the state of knowledge in the fields of anatomy, civil engineering, optics, and hydrodynamics.

Archimedes 

archimedesArchimedes of Syracuse (c.287 BC - c. 212 BC) was an ancient Greek mathematician, physicist and engineer. Although little is known about his life, he is regarded as one of the most important scientists in classical antiquity. In addition to making important discoveries in the field of mathematics and geometry, he is credited with producing machines that were well ahead of their time.

I've been watching water fuel car inventors for a few months. After Stanley Meyer was murdered, others took his invention and are continuing to experiment. Ravi Raju and more. See http://www.squidoo.com/waterpoweredvehicle
