The Pythagorean screw, also known as the Archimedes screw, is a device used for raising water, traditionally consisting of a helical screw encased in a cylinder. It operates by turning the screw, which lifts water from a lower elevation to a higher one as the screw's rotation moves the water upward. This principle can be applied in various engineering and irrigation applications. Its design is attributed to ancient mathematicians, including Pythagoras and Archimedes, who explored principles of geometry and mechanics.
