Hydraulics is the science that studies the use of fluids, in particular water: the name derives from the Greek and is made up of hydor, water, and aulos, which means pipeline. Discovering hydraulics and its future prospects Among the oldest examples of the use of this technique we certainly find impressive works carried out by the peoples of Mesopotamia and those of the Far East, but among the most important constructions we find the Romans in first place, by right. Thanks to their technical advancement and the continuous expansion of the imperial territory, the Romans were able to equip their cities with aqueducts and sewers, exporting this technology to the conquered places. Even in the Middle Ages there was no shortage of major hydraulic works, such as the diversion of rivers and the creation of canals for the irrigation of fields. But it was later, after the seventeenth century, that hydraulics radically changed human life: it allowed the creation of energy. The mills began to spread, for obvious reasons: just think that before their use, a maximum of 4 kg of wheat were ground per hour, while thanks to this invention it could reach up to 180 kg. What will make life easier for us? All that the future of hydraulics holds And starting from the mills, we have come to the present day to hydroelectric plants, which allow us to create clean energy in very large quantities. But what should we expect from the future of hydraulics? Until now, it has allowed us to move enormous weights, to have running water at home, to create green energy: the uses that can be made of it are infinite and all aimed at improving our lives!
