	Hydraulics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hydraulics is a branch of science and engineering concerned with the mechanical properties of liquids.
		One of the founders of modern hydraulics was Benedetto Castelli, a student of Galileo Galilei.
		Hydraulic topics range through most science and engineering disciplines, and cover concepts such as pipe flow, dam design, fluid control circuitry, pumps, turbines, hydropower, computational fluid dynamics, flow measurement, river channel behavior and erosion.

		In the construction of a hydraulic fill dam, the edges of the dam are defined by low embankments or dykes which are built upward as the fill progresses.
		Hydraulic fill is also a term used in hard rock mining and describes the placement of finely ground mining wastes into underground stopes in a slurry by boreholes and pipes to stabilise the voids.
		A hydraulic jump represents a wave that desires to move in upstream direction, but which it is unable to do, as the flow velocity of the water is larger than the wave's celerity (the speed of individual waves).

		A good way of demonstrating the basic principles of hydraulics is to join two syringes together with rubber tubing to make an watertight seal [see figure 1].
		With syringes of different sizes it is possible to demonstrate how to multiply force [see figure 2].
		A small mass on a small syringe can lift a much larger mass if it is resting on a bigger syringe.

	AIR/HYDRAULIC TOOLS: Easy to Handle
		Back in the late 1970s, when the compact hydraulic excavator was largely a European and Japanese phenomenon, the Connecticut-based U.S. distributor for Smalley Excavators held a small demonstration of a new mini excavator in its yard.
		Still, a hydraulic power pack can run other hydraulic tools and offers an excellent low-cost opportunity to be competitive for the small contractor or for rental operations at less than half the cost of an air compressor and breaker combination.
		Nevertheless, handheld hydraulic breakers have developed over the past 20 years from a rather crude technology into sophisticated tools for a broad variety of construction and maintenance applications, earning their rightful place in the rental fleet.

		The word "hydraulics" comes from the Greek wordὑδϱαυλικός (hydraulikos) which in turn comes fromὕδϱαυλος meaning water organ which in turn comes from ὕδωϱ (water) and αὐλός (pipe).

		This improved version of the Armfield sediment transport teaching facility allows demonstration of the full range of bedforms that arise in a mobile bed as the flow and/or slope are increased.
		The Channel can be used to perform most of the experiments and demonstrations usually undertaken in much larger laboratory flumes, but at much lower cost and without the need for technician back-up.
		To commence a demonstration, sand is placed evenly along the channel bed, between the inlet tank and the overfall discharge weir.

		I would say yes and leave it at that because you could say that the water being propelled from the nozzle is an act of mechanical hydraulics, regardless of what the water does afterwards (completes a circuit, tips a scale, reacts with a chemical to form your precipitate, etc).
		Some judges might want you to have the water push an object over or something to demonstrate that it is the water's force which continues the chain of events, rather than the water's chemical properties, but I am personally not going to bother doing that.
		In other words, the actual hydraulics of the device is moot to the operation of the device- the actual "transfer" is occurring at the trigger.

		The hybrid-hydraulic Ford pickup is used as a demonstration and test platform for senior mechanical engineering students, who will redesign the hydraulic system for use on a refuse truck.
		The hydraulics captures energy that is normally wasted during braking, which then assists the engine when it works the hardest, during acceleration.
		Recognizing the possibilities of such research, Ford Motor Company, Eaton Corp., and the EPA jointly agreed to donate to NIATT a concept 1998 Lincoln Navigator along with two hydraulic systems to be used for both education and research.

	Ocean Applications (Introduction)
		When ERS-1 was launched in 1991, one of the mission aims was to demonstrate the feasibility of commercial and operational applications of satellite based remotely sensed data.
		In Canada, ERS data are currently used to demonstrate the technical and market feasibility of sea state forecasting products and to optimise the processing chain for the provision of such products.
		In summary, the ERS system has not only met the original mission objectives in terms of the demonstration of the feasibility of commercial and operational services based on satellite borne microwave instruments, but has progressed far beyond these aims in some of these marine application fields.

		(There's nothing like being prepared!) There are demonstrations of the operation of the telescope and the observing platform at various times during the day.
		The demonstration showed just how well designed and constructed the telescope was - far from being a clumsy giant it was a precision instrument that pushed the technology of the day to its limits.
		He was more than happy to show us the telescope from close quarters and show us in detail the construction and control systems of the telescope.
