Explore hydraulics and engineering wih build your own hydraulic crane hydraulics uilizes liquids hrough varying pipes and channels o move large amouns of weigh. By puing he liquid under pressure, such as in a cylinder, a very small device can lif a large amoun of weigh. In order o illusrae his, you can design an experimenal hydraulic crane. Explore hydraulics and engineering wih build your own hydraulic crane if youve read how hydraulic machines work, you know ha he hydraulic crane is based on a simple concep -- he ransmission of forces from poin o poin hrough a fluid. Mos hydraulic machines use some sor of incompressible fluid, a fluid ha is a is maximum densiy. Oil is he mos commonly used incompressible fluid for hydraulic machines, including hydraulic cranes. In a simple hydraulic sysem, when a pison pushes down on he oil, he oil ransmis all of he acual force o anoher pison, which is driven up. o operae, you push in he plasic cylinder-pison wih waer, so ha he conneced empy plasic cylinder-pison moves up he pison. his in urn pushes he wooden sick up. Depending which cylinder-pison you push makes ha par of he crane move.
