With imperial commissions in Brussels, London and Germany, he began his career in Italy, developing experience in garden design and grottoes with built-in and clever water hydraulics. He authored a publication entitled “The Principles of Moving Forces” toward the end of his life while in France which came to be the essential text on hydraulic mechanics and engineering. Detailing contemporary hydraulic systems, the publication also updated key hydraulic breakthroughs of classical antiquity. Archimedes, the creator of the water screw, had his work featured and these integrated a mechanized means to move water. Sunlight warming liquid in a pair of vessels hidden in a room adjacent to an beautiful water fountain was presented in one illustration. The hot liquid expands and then ascends and closes the water lines thereby activating the fountain. Garden ponds as well as pumps, water wheels, and water feature concepts are included in the book.
