The '''Archimedes' screw''' otherwise called as Archimedean screw or [[Screw Augers]], It is a machine speaking historically, it is mainly used for transferring water from a low-lying body of water into irrigation ditches. The screw pump is commonly attributed to Archimedes Screws on the occasion of his visit to Egypt, but this tradition may reflect only that the apparatus was unknown before Hellenistic times and introduced in his lifetime by unknown Greek engineers | |||
