How Technical Designs of Water Fountains Spread

How Technical Designs of Water Fountains Spread Spreading pragmatic hydraulic facts and water feature design ideas all through Europe was accomplished with the written papers and illustrated publications of the time. An internationally recognized innovator in hydraulics in the later part of the 1500's was a French fountain engineer, whose name has been lost to history. His experience in creating gardens and grottoes with built-in and brilliant water features began in Italy and with mandates in Brussels, London and Germany. In France, towards the closure of his lifetime, he wrote “The Principle of Moving Forces”, a publication which turned into the primary text on hydraulic mechanics and engineering. Updating principal hydraulic findings of classical antiquity, the book also explains modern hydraulic technologies. The water screw, a mechanical way to move water, and invented by Archimedes, was highlighted in the book. An beautiful spring with sunlight warming the water in two vessels hidden in an nearby area was presented in one illustration. The end result: the water fountain is triggered by the heated liquid expanding and rising up the pipelines. Models for pumps, water wheels, water features and garden ponds are also mentioned in the book.
