Original Video Credit: IG/villagertrud Hundreds of rubber ducks are released into Denmark's largest pump-sluice facility in Kolding as enormous Archimedes screw pumps begin turning. Instead of being damaged, the floating toys travel smoothly through the rotating screws, demonstrating how gently the system moves objects with the water. Each Archimedes screw pump slowly rotates inside a trough, trapping water between its spiral flights and carrying it uphill with every revolution. Because the screws operate at relatively low speeds and move water in a continuous flow, fish and other aquatic life can often pass through with far less risk of injury than with many conventional pump designs. The Kolding pump-sluice facility was built to help protect the municipality and harbor from storm surges and flooding while maintaining a fish-friendly method of moving large volumes of water. Combining centuries-old Archimedes screw technology with modern flood-control engineering allows the system to manage extreme water events while reducing impacts on the surrounding ecosystem.
