How do you make an Archimedean screw?
The Archimedean screw can be constructed using two simple ideas. The first is a screw, which in an inclined plane wrapped around a central core or axis. The second idea is to closely confine the screw by placing it inside a cylinder the length of the screw. One variation of the Screw is to coil a flexible tube around a core shaft. As the shaft is turned, the tube will work in the same way and lift the water up, with the problems caused by an actual Screw's operation. A picture is probably worth a thousand words at this point, so drop down below and find a link to an explanation of the device. It comes complete with an aplet showing the the machine in operation. Check out how it is set up and how it works.
What other kind of simple machine is a screw related to?
It is one simple piece it does not need multiple pieces to make it.
What is a screw made up of wrapped around a post or rod?
A screw is a threaded fastener that is made up of a helical ridge wrapped around a cylindrical post or rod. The threads on the screw allow it to be rotated and driven into a material, providing a secure hold.
Is a screw an insulator or conductor of electricity?
A screw is typically made of metal, which is a conductor of electricity. However, if the screw is coated with a non-conductive material like plastic or rubber, it can act as an insulator.
How does the Screw Pump work?
The trick to designing a screw pump is to set the slope of the shaft so that the water caught in the flanges in constantly flowing uphill. ADDED: Assuming this means the Archimedean Screw, a screw thread is essentially an inclined-plane wound into a helix, so it acts rather like a long wedge in raising the material it is acting on. For raising a fluid the screw also needs to be a suitably close fit in its cylinder to minimise leakage round the thread crest.
What is an archimedean screw?
An Archimedean screw is another name for an Archimedes' screw, a screw which, when twisted inside a cylinder, raises water from a lower level to a higher level, allowing irrigation of fields.
What was purpose of the archimedean screw?
Its Purpose was to irrigate and lift water From mines and Ship Bilges
What did the water screw do to help the Greeks?
The Water Screw helped to bring water from a lower level to a higher one. :)[ADDED] It's normally called the "Archimedean Screw".
What makes a simple machine simple?
The twist drill uses flutes that act as an Archimedean screw to lift swarf from the hole.

What is an Archimedean solid?
In geometry an Archimedean solid or semi-regular solid is a semi-regular convex polyhedron made of two or more types of regular polygons meeting in identical vertices.

What is an Archimedean property?
An Archimedean property is the property of the set of real numbers, that for any real number there is always a natural number greater than it.
