Archimedes' Screw Model

Product Code : SCL-PLE-11585

Quick Answer: The Archimedes’ Screw Model is a working tabletop model of the ancient water-lifting machine: a helical screw inside a transparent cylindrical pipe, turned by a hand crank, carries water upwards against gravity.

Last updated: 18 October 2026

Key Features

  • Transparent pipe lets students watch the water climb the helix.
  • Helical surface wrapped around a central hollow shaft.
  • Turned by a manual crank handle.
  • Water-resistant base for tabletop demonstration.
  • Supplied ready to use.

How It Is Used

With the lower end of the tube in water, turning the crank rotates the screw so that pockets of water are carried up the helix and released at the top. The model shows rotary motion being turned into the lifting of a fluid, and suits lessons on simple machines and the history of engineering.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Archimedes’ Screw Model operated?

By hand. Turning the crank handle rotates the helical screw inside the transparent pipe, and the water is lifted along the screw against gravity.
