Can anyone check this for me for any mistakes

He had an idea of creating flying machines, a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank, concentrated solar power, an adding machine, and the double null. A few of his designs were constructed or even possible during his life but some of his smaller inventions, such as a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobbin winder and a machine for testing the tensile strength of wire were not expected to be made. Unfortunately they weren’t published and had no influence in later science.

I had to re-write this text for my essay, it's taken from here, if anyone could slightly change it for me would be good thank you in advance

Original:

Leonardo is revered for his technological ingenuity. He conceptualised flying machines, a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power, an http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adding_machine,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci#cite_note-AddingMachine-7 and the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_hull, also outlining a rudimentary theory of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics. Relatively few of his designs were constructed or were even feasible during his lifetime,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci#cite_note-8 but some of his smaller inventions, such as an automated http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobbin winder and a machine for testing the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensile_strength of wire, entered the world of manufacturing unheralded.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci#cite_note-9 He made important discoveries in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_engineering, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_dynamics, but he did not publish his findings and they had no direct influence on later science.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci#cite_note-10

Unfortunately, your rewrite gets some of the facts wrong. 1. You don't even say who you are writing about.

Unfortunately, your rewrite gets some of the facts wrong.

1. You don't even say who you are writing about. You need to start with that. Leonardo.
2. You wrote "double null" instead of "double hull".
3. "relatively few" is not the same as "a few"; it fact, it's nearly the opposite. Use "few", not "a few".
4. "unheralded" means "without announcement", "unnoticed". It doe
