The Archimedes' Screw: Attributed to the Greek mathematician Archimedes (3rd century BCE), this simple yet effective device uses a rotating helical surface inside a cylinder to lift water efficiently. Used for irrigation and draining ships, its principle is still applied today in modern pumps and conveyors. This invention demonstrates ancient understanding of fluid dynamics and mechanical advantage, providing a durable solution for water management.
