Most people think of infrastructure as roads, bridges, and electrical lines. Yet many essential services that support daily ...

Can AI outperform decades of human expertise in mechanical design? Well, the researchers from Pusan National University gave ...

Imagine you have a natural stream running through a low-lying area on your farm. It’s a great source of fresh water, only you really need it to irrigate some crops sitting at a higher elevation. The ...

Converting mechanical energy to fluid form provides the "muscle" in a fluid-power system. The power source is the key element in a fluid-power system. In a pneumatic system the power source is an air ...

Researchers at Purdue University have shown how to reduce fuel consumption and dramatically improve the efficiency of hydraulic pumps and motors in heavy construction equipment. The new designs ...

Hydraulic gear pumps are deceptively simple: just two gears rotating together, forcing the hydraulic oil from one side to the other where the teeth don’t meet, and thus providing the ability to ...

Hydraulic fluids have become integral to construction, manufacturing, agriculture and numerous other industries. Without them, companies would have less efficiency and power in multiple applications.

Mechanical lifters were once commonplace in internal combustions engines, but they've been mostly replaced by hydraulic ...

It might not look perfectly stable in the air just yet, but a company called Flowcopter is building the world’s first hydraulic drone that trades batteries and electric motors for pumps and gas ...
