A fully functional hydraulic crane
The Project
This project depicts the wonders of motion, friction, thrust, and propulsion through the sheer power of water pressure that can help in carrying out daily tasks. With this hardware assemble, we will learn the fundamentals of hydraulic machines, crane mechanics, pressure, movement and rack-and-pinion mechanism.
Team Comments
I chose to make this project because...My inclination towards hardware and physics motivated me to pick this project. Also, I wanted to test myself about how does the combination of water, syringes and the pipes work Additionally, I also wanted to make something ecofriendly for the environment as it would not release any green house gase
What I found difficult and how I worked it outThe air bubbles that were continuously blocking the path of water to reach the other syringe and vice versa were my biggest blockers. It was really hard to eliminate all the air bubbles out of the water, especially after pulling out the plunger from the syringe.
Next time, I would...I would certainly paint the project and enhance it by adding push buttons and LED lights.
