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

Actually just watched this before I saw this post. Great video and very informative!
Matt Parker looks so insanely different with that beard.
Steve Mould is a great YouTuber. Up there with Technology Connections
Isn’t this a scroll pump?
No, beyond both being spiral shaped they have basically nothing to do with each other
So, basically an Archimedes Screw.
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.
Also: I don’t know why they’re making them as strict spirals. It looks to me like anything that’s just a coiled hose with a large coil radius will work just as well, and you don’t have to carefully construct this strictly flattened shape for your machinery.
