Archimedes is remembered (among many other things) for the Screw Pump which he invented to pump water out of a ship.

It is an inclined,circular pipe containing a helix with its lower end dipped in the water. Turning the helix/screw around its shaft raises the waterin the pipe, thus liftingit and 'pumping' it to a higher level.
