Hydrolics

The sound of an actual hydraulic lift!

media type="custom" key="5160113" Hydraulics are based on Pascal's Principle. The definition of hydraulics is when force is applied to a confined fluid, the change in pressure is transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid.(Jones 91) [|If You don't understand this concept please click this link. To enter http://science.howstuffworks.com/hydraulic1.htm]. Hydraulics are mainly used for cars. An example of a hydraulics system is the machine the mechanics use to lift up a car for repair. Another example is when a person 'pimps out their ride' by putting a hydraulics system in the car so it can bounce up and down.

In ancient times hydraulics where used in everyday life. Ancient Civilazations such as Greece, China, Rome, and Machu Picchu used hydraulics in most early invention. In Machu Picchu, field research of the spring, canal, and fountain system at the ancient Inca site of Machu Picchu show that the sites have hydraulic characteristics. An analysis of the Machu Picchu water system showed that it had some hydraulic characteristics. China used hydraulics to bring water to their villages.



Still confused? Visit [] and put in the code cgp-3033. The force exerted from the second side of the hydraulics system depends on the area of it. The larger the area, the larger the force.

"The hydraulic brake is an arrangement of braking mechanism which uses brake fluid, to transfer pressure from the controlling unit, which is usually near the operator of the vehicle, to the actual brake mechanism, which is usually at or near the wheel of the vehicle."(Wayne)

A car uses hydraulics because when the person pushes down on the brake, the brake exerts a force into the fluid, which then exerted a larger force onto a lever which stops the car's tires.



Elevators also use hydraulics. For a cool demonstration, go to []. Elevators use hydraulics because a panel pushes fluid upwards, making the elevator move upwards.



An aircraft flight control system consists of flight control surfaces, the respective cockpit controls, connecting linkages, and the necessary operating mechanisms to control an aircraft's direction in flight. Aircraft engine controls are also considered as flight controls as they change speed.
