Making Hydraulic JCB From Cardboard,
in this course teaches students how to design and build a miniature model of a JCB excavator using the principles of hydraulics and simple, eco-friendly materials. This hands-on project introduces Pascal’s Law, showing how pressure applied to a fluid is transmitted equally, allowing a small force to move larger parts of the machine. Learners will use syringes, plastic tubes, water, and cardboard to create the arms and bucket of the JCB, which can be raised, lowered, and moved just like a real excavator. Step-by-step instructions guide the process from cutting and assembling the cardboard structure to connecting the hydraulic system for smooth operation. The course not only demonstrates hydraulic engineering but also highlights real-life applications of such systems in construction and heavy machinery. Ideal for school projects, science fairs, or hobby learning, this activity encourages problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork. By the end, students will confidently explain hydraulic technology and proudly showcase their working JCB model. howtofunda
