The screw.

Archimedes is known for 1) the Archimedes Principle or his Eureka moment when he realised about the displacement of water.

2) inventing the Screw Pump which is basically a machine with a revolving screw shaped blade inside a cylinder. It can be used to transfer water from low lying areas into irrigation cannals.

3) The Claw of Archimedes that was used for lifting great weights eg ships out of water by the use of a crane 4) principles of the Parabolic reflector or use of strategically placed mirrors to reflect sunlight
