Physics Project

The document describes how to build a model of a hydraulic lift using simple household materials. A hydraulic lift uses liquid pressure to lift loads, operating based on Pascal's law. The model uses syringes, tubes, cardboard and a toy to demonstrate how hydraulic pressure allows a small force to lift a larger load. Building the model allows students to learn about hydraulic systems, pressure, and related science concepts in a hands-on project suitable for science fairs.

What is Hydraulic Lift ?

” Hydraulic lift is a machine that is used to lift a load with application of force on a
liquid medium with in a piston. “

We can see a lot of examples of hydraulic lift around us. It is vastly used in
factories and machinery.If we want to learn about this device then it can be best
done via making working model. We can learn about many science terms via this
school science projects such as pressure, force, piston ,etc.

If you are searching some science fair ideas for school students. This physics
project can be great topics. Hydraulic lift model experiment is best suitable for
school students from class 6,7 and 8 grades.
Working model of Hydraulic Lift  helps us to answers many questions like :
 How does Hydraulic lift works ?
 What is Hydraulic lift ?
 Principle of hydraulic lift.
 Science fair ideas.
 What are uses and advantages of hydraulic lift ?

Materials Required for Hydraulic Lift Model :

We have made this cool science project using simple materials found around our
house. Some of materials needed for making lift experiment are :

 Cardboard is a main component of lift project. We have to cut cardboard at


different measurements for proper design. For frame structure we can also
use ply wood or a plexiglass. Some of the measurements are,
1.  Four cardboard with length 15cm and breadth of 5.5cm.
2.  Three cardboard with length of 10cm and breadth of 7.5 cm.
3.  One cardboard with 7cm length and breadth of 5cm.
4.  And lastly two cardboard having trapezoid shape of length 6.5cm and
breadth of 4.5cm.
 Main component needed for this project is syringe. We have used two
different 10ml syringes. You can also use different size syringe such as
15ml or 20ml as availability. You can get syringe from pharmaceutical shop
(medical store).
 With syringe we also need a tube and connector for this project . These
materials can be purchased from same medical shop.
 We need a ink. We have used a red colored ink for coloring water.
 For better and perfect work we need a dropper.
 A small toy is need for acting as a load. We have used a small toy dog for
this purpose. You can also use different toys such as small car.
 Some of other basic materials are also needed such as hot melting glue,
diy knife, metal scale, etc.
 

How To Make Hydraulic Lift Model :

As we have collected all the materials, it’s let us start our science project. Here
we have provided step by step guide to make hydraulic lift.

 First of all cut all the the cardboard as above measurements. For this we
have used a diy mat, a metal scale and X-ACTO knife. I suggest you to
handle this device properly other wise it may cut our body part.
 After the cardboard is ready we have glued color paper.
 Now its time to glue this cardboard. Note ( We have to make a small hole
on the base part. We have to pass a tube.)
 A syringe is fixed vertically so that when we press syringe from other end
load is lifted.
 Tube is fixed at the end of syringe using connector. Similarly another
syringe is fixed at the other end.
 At last we have to glue the top rectangular cardboard where we put load.
 A red color ink is used as a liquid material.
 Finally our school science project is ready for demo.

Hydraulic Lift Model Explanation :

We can learn many things via this science experiment. Some of the important
topics are noted bellow.

 Principle of hydraulic lift :


This project is based on famous law known as Pascal’s law. Pascal’s law can be
stated that when we apply pressure on the fluid inside a closed container. This
force is transmitted to liquid and wall of container.
 Pressure
Pressure can be defined as “The ration of force applied perpendicularly per unit
area.” Unit of pressures is pascal. There are many types of pressure some of
them are absolute pressure, gauge pressure,atmospherics pressure, etc.
 Hydraulic system
Hydraulic system is a system where a liquid fluid is main component. Some of
the examples of hydraulic system are vehicles break, hydraulic jack, Hydraulic
shock absorbers, etc.

Advantages of Hydraulic Lift Project :

There are lots of advantages of this cool science experiment. We have mention
some of the merits below :

 Hydraulic Lift Model


By doing this science project we can get good knowledge about the
working of hydraulic system.

 Some of the terms such as force, pressure, hydraulic, Pascal’s law, etc
can be better understand via this project.
 This type of science experiments always attracts students towards study of
science and also helps to answer many questions.
 We can also get good knowledge about the concept behind Hydraulic lift.
 Hydraulic lift helps to make our work easier and faster. Can also lift heavy
load with small force.
 This system is easy to use. And its mechanical advantage is high.
 This science project can be great science fair ideas.
 It also motivate us in science work shops.
