Handleiding

If you leave your ship set up like this for a long

while, the water might evaporate and air bubbles

might appear in the tube. If that happens, you’ll

need to push the plunger very carefully inward,

otherwise

the tube may burst. Make sure to

change the water

from time to time, or conduct

some air-based experiments!

WHAT’S

HAPPENING

Your entire ship will rise and fall, as

though it were sailing over a series of

waves. If you push one plunger inward,

the water will pass through the

tube into

the other syringe, pushing its plunger

the

same distance outward. The plunger

presses against the tabletop and lifts

the entire ship upward.

Insert the cabin into the base panel, and

position the tube ﬁrmly between the syringe

and the top of the cabin so that it can’t move.

Make sure that there are no kinks in the

tube.Slowly push the plunger of the full

syringe inward.

WHAT ARE HYDRAULICS?

The word hydraulics comes from Greek and

means water (“hydro”) and pipe (“aulos“). In

science, hydraulics is the study of the ﬂow

behavior of liquids. That sounds prey

complicated, but you’ve actually already

explored what it means using your model, i.e.

how a liquid is used to transfer aforce. The

pressure that is exerted on a pump

istransmied to the water, and the water then

passes this pressure to a piston, which

performs some kind of work. This is a

hydraulic transmissionsystem.

WHERE ARE

HYDRAULICS USED?

Today, hydraulics are used for transferring

forces in very big machines. For example, they

are used in agriculture and construction for

forklifts, cranes, and diggers. Have you ever

noticed the tubes on your bike that run from

the handlebars right to the brakes? Even

there, you’re using a hydraulic system with

brake ﬂuid. Instead of water, special oil is

often used

it doesn’t evaporate when it

gets warm, or freeze when it gets cold.
