The Circulation of Garden Water Fountains Engineering Knowledge in Europe Dissiminating pragmatic hydraulic knowledge and water feature design ideas throughout Europe was accomplished with the published papers and illustrated books of the time. A globally celebrated leader in hydraulics in the later part of the 1500's was a French fountain designer, whose name has been lost to history. By creating landscapes and grottoes with integrated and ingenious water features, he began his profession in Italy by receiving imperial commissions in Brussels, London and Germany. He wrote a publication titled “The Principles of Moving Forces” toward the conclusion of his life while in France which turned into the basic tome on hydraulic technology and engineering. The publication modified key hydraulic advancements since classical antiquity as well as detailing contemporary hydraulic technologies. Archimedes, the creator of the water screw, had his work showcased and these integrated a mechanized way to move water. A pair of hidden containers heated up by the sun's rays in an area next to the ornamental water fountain were found in an illustration. What occurs is the heated liquid expanded, goes up and closes up the pipes leading to the fountain, and thus leading to activation.
