Hydraulics

Hydraulics is a branch of science that explores the application of liquids in motion and under pressure. Humans have leveraged the power of hydraulics since ancient times. In this topic we will explore the basic science behind hydraulics and discuss some of the practical application of hydraulic both in ancient times and modern times.

In modern hydraulics, fluids are used to make objects move by applying pressure to an incompressible fluid to push and to pull different items.
