      I have the first edition book, which says that there aren’t good, reasonably priced models/kits for hydraulic lifts. Just wondering if that is still true or if anyone has found a kit that would let us have a hands-on component to this piece?

      Hear is a site that shows a simple device you can make that will show the idea of a hydraulic lift:
      http://www.ehow.com/how_7724623_make-hydraulic-lift-school-project.html
      However, it does not really illustrate the
      f x d = f’ x d’ principle. You will have to add that in.
      I hope others may find or create a more useful site. Thanks for your question Jackie. Bernie Nebel
