Da Vinci's Paddleboat.

A mechanical spring creates continous paddle rotation by using the power of the gear inside the wheel to propel the boat.

"Leonardo from Vinci", born April 15, 1452, was an Italian painter, draftsman, sculptor, architect & engineer who epitomised the cultural exploration and innovativeness of the Renaissance period. While most known for his paintings such as The Last Supper (1495-98) & Mona Lisa (1503-19), he was also an inventor and mechanical engineer with inventions utilising modern science and technology centuries ahead of their time.
