Description
This model uses a hand pump to power the smaller hydraulic cylinder. A circular pipe transmits the hydraulic liquid from the smaller cylinder to the larger cylinder, with a check valve to prevent backflow. The larger cylinder lifts a load. The mass of the load can be changed to investigate the pressures generated in the hydraulic system.
