Leonardo was a multi-faceted genius. It does his reputation no harm to say that very few of his inventions were actually tried by him or even by other men of the time. Sadly, many of his inventions could not have worked using the materials and techniques available then. Some of these could have worked using modern materials; and some had fundamental flaws.
The battle tank was a good idea, but required an engine; a steam engine might have worked, but muscle power just couldn't do it. To make a modern tank requires an internal combustion engine and high-tensile steel for armour.
The helicopter was a nice idea but flawed in detail. An engine is a must, and high strength, lightweight materials.The type of rotating wing drawn by Leonardo is fundamentally flawed - it just won't do the job even with todays materials.
The flapping-wing flying machine drawn by Leonardo has the strange distinction of being theoretically impossible and at the same time already achieved ! Working models of this invention were on sale in the street market in Montmartre (Paris) more than 25 years ago. But, a model is only a model; the drawing shows an ornithopter carrying a man and powered only by a man's muscles. That simply can't be done. Man powered flight has been achieved, just, but only with a fixed wing and a large propeller.
no he just made sketches in his notebook. (also wrote backwards because lefty.) they were not created until later in time.
I should say , yes.
The most famous paintings Leonardo da vincis were : The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper
He never built one of his inventions. They were all drawn by him, but not created.
he improved it by letting everybody know about his gayness and all of his inventions were really amazing....
Leonardo helped shape the world by inventing EVERYTHING! this guy had and idea for EVERYTHING. he was insanely talented and can not be bothered to have all his triumphs on one page thank you :)
It is not possible to say exactly where Leonardo was when making this or any other sketch. The thing is: All his inventions were made in his sketchbooks, not in any sort of mechanical workshop.

well his life was all about art and his destiny to be the master of art.
It was not made in anything. All Leonardo's inventions are in his sketchbooks. None have been executed.
He never built one of his inventions. They were all drawn by him, but not created.
Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, and Virgin of the Rocks are all representative of Leonardo's great insights and inventions in art. If the Mona Lisa is not his most famous work, then the sketch called, "Etruscan Man" is.

Leonardo produced art work (sculpture and painting) and inventions, (he drew the first helicopter and invented war machines).
Da Vinci kept track of all his inventions by writing in reverse script on a notebook so no one steals his ideas
Yes, Leonardo Da vinci did indeed invent the paddle boat, BUT he did not build it. He only made sketches of his inventions, and people who had the ability, would make the invention a few years later.
