    Took one look at that thumbnail and knew it was a Steve Mould creation. He has a very distinctive style to his water models.

      Nope. The airlock effect inside the mechanism produces an additive effect with each coil that builds the pressure way beyond what a normal screw pump is capable of (he shows a friend who has one that pumps water to a garden 8 meters above just from the force of the river spinning it). That’s what makes it worth its own whole Steve Mould video.
