The Circulation of Water Fountain Industrial Knowledge in Europe
The Circulation of Water Fountain Industrial Knowledge in Europe Spreading practical hydraulic information and water feature design ideas throughout Europe was accomplished with the printed documents and illustrated books of the time. An internationally renowned pioneer in hydraulics in the later part of the 1500's was a French fountain designer, whose name has been lost to history. By developing gardens and grottoes with built-in and ingenious water features, he began his profession in Italy by receiving imperial commissions in Brussels, London and Germany. “The Principles of Moving Forces”, a publication which turned into the essential text on hydraulic technology and engineering, was authored by him toward the end of his life in France. The publication updated key hydraulic discoveries since classical antiquity as well as explaining modern hydraulic technologies. As a mechanized way to push water, Archimedes invented the water screw, fundamental among vital hydraulic discoveries. Sunlight heating water in two vessels unseen in a room next to an beautiful water feature was shown in one illustration. The heated liquid expands and then ascends and closes the water pipes consequently triggering the fountain. Pumps, water wheels, water features and backyard pond designs are covered in the book.
