Fluids are incompressible, relatively speaking, hence the pressure applied through the system is directly transmitted to the object which you want to lift. If you used a gas, you would waste a lot of energy compression the gas-hence the system would be inefficient.
AnswerThere's another reason. Hydraulic systems using gases instead of liquids can be very efficient indeed--witness the brakes on a big truck. They are ALL gas--specifically, air--powered, and they work very well. The compressor in a gas system doesn't enter into efficiency calculations because in a liquid system, with the exception of something like car brakes, there's a pump. And in some cases you can't use a liquid hydraulic system. On a big printing press, there are a lot of compressed-air roller lifters because no one wants a book that has hydraulic fluid spattered on the pages, and if your press springs a leak in the roller lifters that is what will happen.The biggest advantage a liquid hydraulic system has is the nearly complete lack of lag. In a fluid power (the industrial term for a hydraulic system using liquid fluids) system, the whole system is charged with fluid. When you press against the fluid at one end, or pump some more in depending on what the system is, the force is instantaneously transferred to the thing you are attempting to move. OTOH, in an air system you've got to fill the lines with air before anything moves. (This is another reason why you shouldn't cut off semis on the interstate--at 55mph the truck has no brakes for 32 feet after the driver steps on the pedal.)

What causes pressure in a hydraulic system?
Hydraulic pump that produces pressure in a hydraulic system. It takes energy to pump the electric motor or engine mechanical.
What is the operation of pump in hydraulic jack?
The operation of the pump in a hydraulic jack is to generate pressure. This causes the jack to rise and lift as needed.
What causes pressure to be created in a hydraulic system?
The force of whatever the size of whatever dick your using breaks the condom and thats how you were born
How does a hydraulic gauge work?
Normally using a calibrated bellows or bourdon tube. As pressure is sensed by the device it inflates the tube or bellow which in turn causes the needle to rotate. Pre-seventies pitot and static systems on aircraft use this very technology to relay information like true air speed to the pilots.
What are the most common causes of hydraulic system failure?
The most common causes of hydraulic system failure include contamination of hydraulic fluid, which can lead to wear and damage of components; leaks in hoses, fittings, or seals that result in loss of pressure; and inadequate maintenance, such as not changing filters or fluid regularly. Additionally, overheating can occur due to excessive load or insufficient cooling, causing components to degrade or fail. Lastly, improper system design or installation can lead to imbalances and stress on the system, contributing to failure.
How do liquids in hydraulic brakes help stop an automobile?
Liquids in hydraulic brakes help to stop an automobile by creating pressure and moving a set of pistons to generate force. This force is applied outward and causes friction that stops the automobile.
What causes pressure in a hydraulic system?
Hydraulic pump that produces pressure in a hydraulic system. It takes energy to pump the electric motor or engine mechanical.
How does Hydraulic machines work by applying what?
It uses Pascal's Principle, which says pressure that is applied to a fluid is transmitted unchanged throughout the whole fluid. Just an additive, the reason it works is because the pressure is the same but the area is different. This makes the total pressure multiply.
What is the operation of pump in hydraulic jack?
The operation of the pump in a hydraulic jack is to generate pressure. This causes the jack to rise and lift as needed.
What force causes the bulk flow of fluids (gases and liquids) in a system?
The force that causes the bulk flow of fluids in a system is typically pressure difference. This pressure difference drives the movement of fluids, such as gases and liquids, from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
How does a hydraulic pump create pressure?
A hydraulic pump creates pressure by converting mechanical energy from a motor into fluid flow energy. The pump forces fluid into the system, which causes the pressure to increase. The pressure builds up as the fluid is confined within the system, creating the necessary force for hydraulic applications.
How is pressure transferred through a liquid?
Because liquids are basically just a collection of particles with barely enough energy to separate them, they are very closely packed and any pressure applied must be very high to force them closer. As you apply a force to them, they cannot easily compress, so they pass the force on. (This is the principal of hydraulic pressure.)
How water in brake fluid causes a loss of braking force?
The water will boil when the fluid gets hot. Steam in the fluid will causes a loss of hydraulic pressure.
What causes pressure to be created in a hydraulic system?
The force of whatever the size of whatever dick your using breaks the condom and thats how you were born
Variation of pressure in liquids and gases in everyday phenomena-?
Pressure variation in liquids can be observed when squeezing a water bottle, which increases the pressure inside. In gases, pressure variation can be seen in weather systems where high pressure brings clear skies and low pressure brings storms, also in inflating a balloon causes an increase in pressure inside.
What causes 'sponginess'in a hydraulic braking system?
Air in the hydraulic fluid
What causes your thumb to burn?
Any result around heat (liquids,steam,fire,etc) or too much pressure.
