Hydraulic Machine – Mind Map

1. Definition

  • A hydraulic machine uses a fluid (usually oil or water) to transmit force from one point to another using Pascal’s Law.

2. Principle Used

  • Based on Pascal’s Law: Pressure applied to a fluid in a closed system is transmitted equally in all directions.

3. Working

  • A small force applied on a smaller piston creates pressure in the fluid.
  • This pressure is transmitted to a larger piston, generating a greater force.
  • Thus, a hydraulic machine multiplies force.

4. Important Components

  • Small piston (input)
  • Large piston (output)
  • Incompressible fluid (usually oil or water)
  • Cylinder

5. Applications

  • Hydraulic lift (used in garages)
  • Hydraulic brakes (in vehicles)
  • Hydraulic press (used in industries)
  • Hydraulic cranes and excavators (e.g., JCBs)

6. Skills Students Learn

  • Understanding force multiplication
  • Applying physics in real-world systems
  • Analyzing mechanical advantage
  • Problem-solving using physics principles

7. Values Developed

  • Scientific curiosity
  • Appreciation for engineering and machines
  • Awareness of safety and technology use
  • Respect for innovation and design
