input pressure X area = output pressure X area
Information that is processed by the computer and transmitted to a monitor or printer is called output.
Force is equal to pressure times area. By increasing the area of the output force, the force goes way up. This is because water cannot be compressed, and therefore the pressure cannot change. In this way, a hydraulic device works almost like a lever. It increases the area of the output force and therefore decreases the amount of input force needed.
Hydraulic mining used a water cannon (called a monitor) to wash the hillside down and into a huge sluice box which separated the Gold from the dirt and gravel.
Hydraulic oil and hydraulic fluid are different. Hydraulic fluid is used in small systems such as car brakes. Hydraulic oil is used in large systems such as loaders.
