	Another notable invention made by Archimedes was called the Archimedes' Screw. The purpose of this invention was to pump out water front he hulls of massive ships that were so heavy they would leak a considerable amount. So Archimedes took it upon himself to find a solution, and he did find a genius one at that. The Archimedes screw is a hollowed out cylinder with a screw/twisted platform coiling up the inside of the cylinder. The machine was hand cranked and proved very successful! This design is still in use today and has been since in many industries and factories. [3]		Another notable invention made by Archimedes was called the Archimedes' Screw.

	Syracuse is not a typical beach side landmass, it has very high, steep, and rocky cliffs. Archimedes understood this and came up with an invention that would harness the energy of the sun to be used against incoming enemy vessels, it later became famously known as Archimedes' Heat Ray. This heat ray would be made up of a series of mirrors and reflectors (possibly bronze and copper shields in his time) that would be placed in different locations along the cliff and pointed and a single point in which the suns rays would be amplified together to catch ships on fire. This invention actually works according to resent more modern tests, but the conditions for it to works are very hard to come by due to weather patterns and strength of reflectors. But it is possible! This idea was also supported and practical based off of the terrain of Syracuse because there are high cliffs that are perfect positions for reflecting the suns rays on enemy vessels. However, since Syracuse lies on the eastern location of Sicily, the enemy raiders would have to have had attacked in the earlier mornings for the heat ray to have worked.

	~~Short Description~~ of ~~Topic~~		Archimedes was a great "Renaissance Man" even though he was not in the Renaissance. He invented many outstanding machines that were practical in their time and some that seemed a little out there. Archimedes also led the way for areas of physics such as in the field of buoyancy and hydrostatics. He was also a brilliant mathematician and could accurately give the answer to the square root of 3 to a good amount of decimal place accuracy even though his explanation for how he did it is mysterious and a little foggy. Archimedes is a notable scientist and deserves recognition for his work.

	~~Are there related topics or categories~~ in ~~this wiki resource~~ for the curious ~~reader~~ to ~~explore? How does this topic fit into that context?~~		For more information, it will be in your interest to explore density and volume and other physical properties of matter, because Archimedes laid out the foundation for these concepts and allowed the advancement of knowledge to diverge into many different areas in physics and mathematics. Also, if you find yourself even more curious, try reading his actual works! They are very fascinating and ancient, but still relevant to how we perceive the world.
