In this video we assemble a DIY micro drill rig (tiny DC motor + drill bit + frame) and a submersible water pump, then test drilling a small “well” and pumping water through tubing. I explain the mechanism, torque limits, and 3 upgrades for better performance.

[pdf] The Archimedes' screw, also known as the Archimedean screw, hydrodynamic screw, water screw or Egyptian screw, is one of the earliest documented machines. It was so-named after the Greek mathematician who first described it around 234 BC, although the device had been developed in earlier in the century. It is a reversible hydraulic machine that can be operated both as a pump or a power generator.
