What are hydraulics?

hydraulics is the use of an incompressible fluid to perform work by displacing areas, which will create either linear or rotary movement of actuators.


Why are liquids good for Hydraulics?

Liquid is needed to use hydraulics. It's what makes hydraulics work.


What types of things use hydraulics?

Cars use hydraulics in the brakes and steering, and planes use hydraulics by adjusting the wings and rising and lowering the landing gear :P


Examples of hydraulics?

Hydraulics is a topic of science and engineering dealing with the mechanical properties of liquids. Hydraulics is part of the more general discipline of fluid power. Fluid mechanics provides the theoretical foundation for hydraulics, which focuses on the engineering uses of fluid properties. 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.The word "hydraulics" originates from the Greek word ὑδραυλικός (hydraulikos) which in turn originates from ὕδραυλος meaning water organ which in turn comes from ὕδωρ (water) and αὐλός (pipe).


Do hydraulics work in space?

Yes, hydraulics can work in space, but they require careful design to function in microgravity. The lack of gravity affects fluid behavior, so hydraulic systems must be sealed and use special fluids that can operate effectively without relying on gravity for fluid movement. Additionally, astronauts often need to ensure that the hydraulic components are designed to avoid issues like bubbles or leaks in the fluid. Overall, while hydraulics are feasible in space, they present unique challenges that need to be addressed.
