Quick Answer:The DIY Hydraulic Jack Model is a school DIY science kit in which water-filled syringes and tubing lift a platform, showing Pascal’s law and how fluid pressure lets a small force raise a heavier load.
Last updated: 18 October 2026
Key Features
Interconnected syringes and tubing transmit force through water.
Pressing one syringe lifts the platform or load on the other.
Kit of syringes, pipes, platform, connectors and base structure for self-assembly.
Manually operated; no power needed.

How It Is Used
After assembly, the syringes and connecting tubes are filled with water, making sure no air bubbles remain, and joined securely. Pressing one syringe pushes water into the other, which raises the platform; swapping in syringes of different sizes shows how the force multiplication changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the DIY Hydraulic Jack Model demonstrate?
It demonstrates Pascal’s law, showing how force applied to one syringe is transmitted through the water to lift a heavier load on the platform.
