In this article, I'd like to explain "What is 'Archimedes’ screw'". Let's characterize it and answer some popular questions.
So the fastest answer is…
A device for raising water by means of a rotating broad-threaded screw or spirally bent tube within an inclined hollow cylinder.
The Archimedes screw is a form of positive-displacement pump.
A positive-displacement pump traps fluid from a source and then forces the fluid to move to a discharge location.
The Archimedes screw consists of a screw (a helical surface surrounding a central cylindrical shaft) inside a hollow pipe.
The screw is usually turned by windmill, manual labor, cattle, or by modern means, such as a motor.
As the shaft turns, the bottom end scoops up a volume of water.
This water is then pushed up the tube by the rotating .
These are questions that people still ask:
