2.  Hydraulics are a liquid form of pneumatics  Pneumatics are when pressurized gasses are used to produce mechanical rotation.  They are used for the generation of control, and transmission of power through fluid.

3.  Hydraulics can produce huge amounts of power making them great for construction equipment, like excavators, skid-steer, and bulldozers.  Shocks, weather it be on a car or bike.  Mechanics tools like floor jacks or lifts.

4.  There has always been a need for a transmission of power to make greater force  The invention of the steam engine created a spark that began the base hydraulics as we know it.  Steam pushed pistons like oil does in hydraulics.

5.  Hydraulics pistons get their power from pressurized oil being pushed against a cylinder  They can exert tens of thousands of pounds of force.  Lines or hoses that contain hydraulic oil are under so much pressure that they burst..

6.  The hydraulic fluid is controlled by a pump that continuously rotates pushing fluid through the line in a cycle.  There size varies,depending on how much pressure is needed for the task at hand.

8.  Hydraulic power is transferred through a medium which would be based off mineral oils or water.  Most mineral oils are a by-product of the distillation of petroleum to make gasoline.  It is most commonly sold in 5 gallon buckets with an average cost of:100$ to 135$

9.  All work and no play make for a dull day  Starting mid 1970s people found out that adding bigger or more batteries to power the hydraulics in there low-rider's to get the wheels off the ground  This is caused by a jolt of electricity making the pump pressurize and extend the hydraulics in the suspension.
