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

What kind of simple machine is a bumper car?

machine. However, it incorporates several simple machines within its design: Wheel and Axle: The wheels and their axles on the bumper car allow it to move smoothly across the floor. Lever: The steering mechanism can be considered a lever, where you apply force to turn the car. Electric Motor: While not a simple machine, the electric motor in a bumper car drives the wheels, enabling motion. These simple machines work together to make the bumper car function effectively. Simple machines are things we use every day; a simple machine is something without a motor that helps to pull, lift, move, or change the direction of another object. Our bodies can become simple machines, too, when used in a certain way. We use our arms to pick things up and move them about, and our arm as a lever; there are so many more ways that your body is a machine. An example of a simple machine seen often is a ramp. A ramp can be used to make moving a box from a truck to the ground easier. When simple machines work together, it is called a complex machine. A complex machine we use almost every day is a car. Cars are considered complex machines because they have motors and are composed of several simple machines to help make them run. Let's explore the six types of simple machines that we see in cars: inclined planes, levers, pulleys, wedges, wheels and axles, and screws.
