Archimedes’ Screws to Power Windsor
Archimedes’ Screws to Power Windsor
turbines based on principles developed by Archimedes.
The 40-ton Archimedes’ Screws were lowered into place at Romney Weir on the River Thames, on September 7. As their name suggests, the turbines look like the screw invented by the Ancient Greek mathematician and engineer Archimedes of Syracuse.The Archimedes’ screw, also called the Archimedean screw or screw pump,
is a machine used for raising water from a lower to a higher level. Archimedes invented the device while in Egypt. Since then, the machine is historically used mostly for irrigation projects, by transferring water from a low-lying body of water into irrigation canals.One of the greatest scientists of antiquity, Archimedes is known for his mathematical work, his theories of mechanics and his clever use of machines in the defense of his homeland Syracuse -then an independent Greek City-State- against the Romans.[Photo: Archimedes Thoughtful by Domenico Fetti (1620)]Queen Elizabeth II of England has given the green light to power Windsor Castle by hydroelectricity,using turbines based on principles developed by Archimedes.
