There exist two kinds of force, hydrostatic energies and external forces. When used against a level surface, the liquid applies equal force against all points of that surface. All points on an object’s surface are affected by vertical pressure when the object is entirely submerged in a liquid that’s in a state of equilibrium. This applied force is known as buoyancy, while the principle itself is known as Archimedes’ principle. Hydrostatic pressure is formed by hydrostatic force, when the force exerts itself on a point of liquid. A city’s water supply system, fountains, and artesian wells are all samples of the application of these principles on containers.

Inventors of the First Water Fountains Multi-talented individuals, fountain designers from the 16th to the late 18th century frequently worked as architects, sculptors, artists, engineers and highly educated scholars all in one person. Leonardo da Vinci as a creative master, inventor and scientific virtuoso exemplified this Renaissance creator. He methodically captured his observations in his now renowned notebooks, following his immense interest in the forces of nature guided him to examine the properties and movement of water. Coupling inventiveness with hydraulic and horticultural mastery, early Italian fountain designers transformed private villa settings into brilliant water displays loaded with emblematic implications and natural wonder. The humanist Pirro Ligorio provided the vision behind the wonders in Tivoli and was renowned for his virtuosity in archeology, architecture and garden design. For the assorted lands in the vicinity of Florence, other water feature designers were well versed in humanistic subject areas as well as ancient technical texts, masterminding the phenomenal water marbles, water attributes and water antics.
