De Marssumermolen, Marssum 57 cogs. This drives the "wallower" (31 cogs) at the top of the "upright shaft". At the bottom of the "upright shaft" there are two "crown wheels"' The upper "crown wheel", which has 17 cogs drives an Archimedes' screw. The axle of the Archimedes' screw is diameter and long. This screw is used to pump water into the polder. The lower "crown wheel", which has 43 cogs, drives a gearwheel with 38 cogs on the axle of an Archimedes' screw, which is used to drain the polder. The axle of the screw is diameter and long. The screw is diameter.
SS Archimedes the Archimedes' screw, named after Archimedes of Syracuse who lived in the 3rd Century BC. It was not until the 18th century however, and the invention of the steam engine, that a practical means of delivering effective power to a marine screw propulsion system became available, but initial attempts to build such a vessel met with failure. In 1807, the world's first commercially successful steam-powered vessel, Robert Fulton's "North River Steamboat", made its debut. As this vessel was powered by paddlewheels rather than a propeller, the paddlewheel thereby became the "de facto" early standard for steamship propulsion. Experimentation with screw
