Water Screw, Archimedes' screw variant.
Description
Designed And Modeled By Myself. Water Is The Most Basic And Most Important Thing For A Good Quality Of Life. You Need To Drink It, Grow Food With It, Cook With It, Wash With It, Travel On It And There Are So Many Activeties That Use It. So Idecided To Make An All Plastic (With Some Nuts And Bolts) Water Transport Device. This Device Can Be Used To Move Water Out Of Rivers Onto Feilds, Empty Water Out Of Containers And All Sorts Of Usefull Things. This Is A Moduler Water Screw Based On The Archimedes' Screw. It Has Been Changed To Be Built Out Of Many Parts Allowing The Length And Design To Be Easily Altered. The Screw Has Been Fixed To The Inside Of The Tube So That Water Cannot Flow Backwards Between The Screw And The Tube Increasing Its Efficency. This Does Mean Bearings Have To Be Added To The Supports To Allow The Tube And Screw To Turn. This Is Designed To Be Built On A 3D Printer With A Build Area Of 200X200X200Mm. It Is Recommended That Bylon And Abs Is Used To Make The Model And Isopropynol, M6 Nuts And Bolts Are Used To Fix It Together. A Wood Screw Is Needed To Fix The Crank Handle To The Crank. This Model Can Be Easily Scaled Bigger Or Smaller Though The Crank And Handles Will Need To Be Modifyed As They Will Get Way To Big Or Small Fast. If You Quarter The Model Reducing The Print Area Needed To 100X100X100Mm You Can Use M3 Nuts And Bolts To Hold It Together And It Will Be Alot Faster To Print. On The Negative Side Only A Quature Of The Water Will Be Moved Per Revolution. I Have Not Tested This Model As I Do Not Have A 3D Printer. If You Have Made It And Found A Problem Please Contact Me So I Can Improve The Model.
