James Bruton | Why this Screw Drive is Really Weird @jamesbruton | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Will an Archimedes Screw work if the screw stays still, but the tube it's in turns? I set out to find out what happens, and I also looked for other commercial uses for this application. I 3D printed my screw which worked really well without any support material. After that it was just a matter of testing the Archimedes Screw drive to see what would happen as the tube was rotated in various ways. Initial results looked good so I went on to motorise the screw drive.

Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.
