A light-hearted ramble through the history of hydraulic fluid power from its birth at the end of the 18th century up to the modern day. The talk includes numerous animated illustrations, including such topics as the raising of the Britannia Bridge, the launch of Brunel’s Great Eastern, the first hydraulic excavator and the virtual reality ship which could accommodate 700 passengers.
