Hydraulics is used in many applications that we see or use every day. The brakes in a car or the elevator in the bucket of a tractor are two very common applications. We can experiment with simple hydraulic systems using plastic syringes for cylinders and small plastic tubes for hydraulic hose. One definition I read for hydraulics was "the movement of pressurized liquids through confined spaces."
Working with gears, pulleys or levers; A mechanical advantage can be achieved by using cylinders of different sizes at the end of the hydraulic connections. By the distance of trade moved with the amount of force the advantage is realized.
"JCB hydraulic four-axle with syringe", demonstrates a large arm of JCB excavator with four simple axles. The arm mounted on the front of the flat plate can move up and down. All movements are connected with syringes. These syringes are connected with a transparent elastic tube. Hydraulic pressure is generated in these syringes by the liquid. At the industrial level, mainly oil is used to create hydraulic pressure, but we use water.
Excavators are heavy construction equipment consisting of an arm, pole, bucket and cab on a turntable. It has mobility of 4 axes and is able to pick up and place any object. Due to the high cost and less availability of hydraulic pumps and pistons, we have put our idea on the real-life scenario using medical syringes like hydraulic piston.
