    Lifting Jack: Ice-Cream Sticks Flexi-Tube

    Uploaded by

    Hermy E. Feliciano
    The document describes how to make a lifting jack using ice cream sticks, copper wire, syringes, and a flexible tube. Key steps include: 1) Joining sticks with copper wire to form lazy tongs that can stretch and shrink. 2) Attaching syringes to both ends of a flexible tube and filling one with water. 3) Tying the syringes to the lazy tongs so that pushing one plunger lifts the other end. When complete, the device uses incompressible water pressure to lift objects with the tongs.
