What is the physical principle that allows the Archimedes' Screw to work?
Can you tell me about the physical principle that allows the Archimedes' Screw to work?
Of course! The Archimedes' Screw works on the principle of a simple machine known as the inclined plane. The spiral of the screw is essentially a set of inclined planes wound around a central shaft. When the screw is turned, water or other fluids are pushed up the inclined planes of the screw, and eventually out the top of the casing.
