How to Learn the Hydraulic System
Learning the hydraulic system of fluid pressure energy transfer requires a mastery of college level physics. Such an education includes the principles of hydraulic drive and determining factors such as torque and transmission. One should commit to a collegiate physics education before attempting to learn the hydraulic system.

1
Enroll in a college level physics course. If you are in high school, Advanced Placement physics is sufficient. Learning the hydraulic system in an academic setting gives you the benefit of a professor's direction and supervised laboratory work.
-
2
Purchase a college level physics text and workbook containing at least one section dedicated to applied physics. While it is not recommended, you may attempt to learn the hydraulic system independently. Read the text and perform the corresponding work for sections dedicated to pressure change effects.

Study Pascal's law thoroughly. Pascal's law explains the basic principles of the hydraulic drive effect. Hydraulic drive uses the manipulation of fluid pressure to move objects and, in turn, drive machinery. Pascal's law explains how this pressure manipulation affects fluid-driven systems.
