A corkscrew is a type of simple machine known as a screw. It consists of a helical ridge wrapped around a central core, which allows it to convert rotational motion into linear motion, enabling it to penetrate corks easily. By twisting the handle, the screw drives into the cork, allowing it to be removed from a bottle. This mechanical advantage makes it easier to extract the cork with minimal effort.
