Hydraulic Technology

From the Paper:

"Primitive man used simple machines such as levers, the inclined plane, the pulley, the wedge, the wheel, and axle. It was considerably later that man discovered that it was possible to employ liquids and gasses to exert forces at a distance, leading to the introduction of a complex array of new machines based upon what is now known as fluid mechanics and/or hydraulics (Hydraulic pressure, 1998). A machine that transmits pressure by a liquid is a hydraulic machine, a technique discovered by Pascal, who found that a pressure applied to any part of a confined fluid transmits to every other part with no loss. The pressure acts with equal force on all equal areas of the confining vaults and perpendicular to the walls' in other words, pressure results from the interactions of pipes and cylinders and produces motion of various types (Hydraulic pressure, 1998). While hydraulics are regularly..."
