Archimedean
Screw or spiral-shaped
Archimedean describes things relating to the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes or his discoveries.
An Archimedean screw is a device for raising water, consisting of a spiral tube around a central shaft.
Archimedean solids are convex polyhedra with regular polygonal faces.
The Archimedean property in mathematics states that any quantity, however small, can exceed another through sufficient multiplication.
