Scientific Principle
An ancient water-lifting unit, the screw uses rotational motion to carry water up along its coiled thread from a lower to a higher level. It was one of the first pumps, used for irrigation.
Operation
Guests rotate the crank to rotate the screw and lift water upward. They view how a simple spiral moves water against gravity.
