I gotta say, sawmills were already kinda old news when my grandparents were kids... but this Corneliszoon dude's invention was some game-changer. I mean, can you imagine trying to build a ship without one? It'd be like trying to hammer nails with a stick! His machine simplified the process so much that it basically made the whole industry faster and more efficient.
I love how he used these interconnected components to create this perfectly controlled sequence of motion. It's like, no wonder the Dutch were ahead of everyone else at that time. And I'm super curious to see what they come up with next...
um wait so like i was reading this article about some dutch guy inventing a sawmill thingy and i'm like wow that's cool but then i started thinking about how did they actually make the ships go fast on water and wasn't it like, sails or something? so yeah maybe corneliszoon's invention is kinda old news now but it's still pretty neat. as for greatest inventions deserving more recognition id say something like... a trash compactor because let's be real we're running out of space and stuff.
