Three views of the ice fountain apparatus: top shows the hydraulic jack with pressure gauge, central cylinder, and conical nozzle on a demo bench with tools; bottom-left shows the outer cylinder filled with crushed ice and the nozzle visible at top; bottom-right shows an extruded ice cylinder emerging from the nozzle

Ice Fountain

Crushed ice is forced through a conical nozzle by a hydraulic jack. The pressure melts the ice, and it refreezes into a solid cylinder as it exits the nozzle — …

Hydraulic jack mounted in a frame with two vertical guide rods, a hand pump lever on the right, a pressure gauge (0–5000 psi) on the front, and a piece of 2x2 wood positioned between the piston and the upper compression plate

Pascal's Law, Hydraulic Press

Students observe Pascal's Law in action as a hand-pumped hydraulic jack crushes a section of 2x2 lumber. The dramatic fracture demonstrates how hydraulic systems transmit pressure through incompressible fluid to …
