Since Archimedes had so many ideas, the answer to this question is a matter of opinion. My choice is the "Archimedian Screw" which was a "spin off" of his basic mechanical screw. His Archimedian Screw was basically a tube or pipe, bent into a helical form [sort of like enclosing the threads on an ordinary screw, OR wrapping a water hose around a barrel in a spiral fasion]. When the lower end was inserted into a body of water and the screw was turned on its axis, it lifted the water up through the tube. Some very large, very high volume pumps pumps in use today still operate on his principle. I agree with what is said above, but I just wanted to add that Archimedes was a Greek Mathematician and Inventor Tashidog
