5 Renaissance Inventions
Eyeglasses
In 1400's the printing press were created and became more popular for people to wear glasses. The first eyeglasses were made in Italy in 1287, but they got better and increased by the 1500's. They were first made by wood with to glass lenses. Other materials were used on the Frames of the glasses like copper, lead, and thread to help make the frame lighter on the noise and eyes of the face, so people can easily see the words, but up until 1352 most people couldn't afford it eyeglasses so these major eye pieces were mainly for very rich noblemen.

Submarine
The first submarine was created by Leonardo Da Vinci but he did finish out with the blue prints. Later in 1578 a man named William Borne drew plan for a more advance submarine. This submarine had extra tanks filled with water to lead more pressure for the submarine to go downward. If empty can lead submarine back to surface of the water, but sadly this more advance submarine was never built. Soon in 1620 a dutch inventor built a rowboat with oars to let up to 12 people to ride in the submarine and could stay under salt water for at least 4 hours and down to 15 feet.

Flush Toilet
During the renaissance period one of the first name of the Flush Toilet was known then
as the Water Closet. The invention of the Toilet dates back all the way to 1589. A man
named Sir John Harrington invented the flush toilet. From the inventor's name other people have called
the Toilet other names like The John, The Royal Throne, The Lou, The Potty, and the Powder Room. Sir
John was the godson of Queen Elizabeth and made the first toilet for her. He died before making a new one and two hundred years later it was reinvented with a bowl a hinges by three other men to become what we know as sour modern day toilets.

Microscope
The first develop microscope was made in the netherlands between the year 1590 and 1608. Three inventors Han Lippershely, Hans Janssen, and his own son named Zacharias. All these inventors all contributed major parts for the Microscope successes. People said that Galileo created the microscope, but he actually popularized the microscope in the 17th century. Up until the 19th century many did not like and feared the microscope because of many improvements that didn't understand, but when the lenses was created it gave everting a more clear image to give many big advances in today world.

Clock
The oldest clock appeared in the late 1300's once people began telling, and how time was measured in 24 hours. In 1581 an Italian scientist named Galileo had interest in time. He soon came about discovering the pendulum. The pendulum was used to help moved the hand and point to what time it is in stead of looking at the your shadow to tell if it is morning or afternoon. The pendulum was also used for clock towers to ring a specific time. Soon, hourglasses began to be widely popular in the 1500's and by the 1600's screws were made and used to make repair on clocks.
