Screw

by Lianna

 

A screw is a cylinder with an inclined plane wrapped around it. There is a special type of screw called the Archimedes Screw. It works like this: someone cranks it to pull the water either up or down. The screw is slanted so that when it is turned, the water automatically goes with it.
