Basic Hydraulics
Force through fluids
Hydraulic systems apply pressure in fluids to multiply force via pistons; Pascal's principle underpins brakes and lifts.

Principle
Pressure applied to a confined fluid transmits equally.
Apply
Pistons of different areas change force/speed tradeoffs.
Maintain
Prevent leaks, use correct fluid, and bleed air.

How it works
Air Traffic Control
Air traffic control coordinates aircraft movements to maintain safe separation.
Comparison
Hydrogen Car vs EV
Hydrogen cars make electricity from fuel onboard, while EVs store electricity directly in batteries.
Examples
Lever Simple Machine
A lever multiplies force by pivoting around a fulcrum, trading distance for mechanical advantage.
