Leonardo Da Vinci – an artist, scientist and inventor recognized by many for his famous works such as the Mona Lisa and the Creation of Adam – made several contributions to human society, including sketch designs for the ball bearing (a rolling device used to create space between moving parts). His conception of the device was a way to reduce the friction of a rotating axis in his design for a helicopter – another creation of the Renaissance man.
