How Can Hydraulic Flow Be Controlled Between Two Pistons?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on controlling hydraulic flow between two pistons, emphasizing the challenges posed by fluid viscosity. Participants express skepticism about stopping hydraulic fluid once it begins to flow through a mechanical actuator. The conversation also touches on inductance coupling and motor control arrays, highlighting the complexities involved in hydraulic systems. The consensus indicates that hydraulic fluid cannot be easily halted once in motion due to its inherent properties.

I have considered myself versed on a topic as broad as hydrolic and recently came to doubt myself on a simple idea of what it takes to actuate a hydrolic flow between a junction of two piston's, so taking in mind the simple shape in the image Could this be stopped once the flow is pushing only slightly into an expanding cylinder and what kind of current flow are we talking about, I have just read a literal ton of information on the inductance coupling and have the design for an inductive(single wire) motor control array(I'd be happy to share).

Your posting does not make any sense at all . Please try to explain the problem more clearly .
 
hydrolic fluid probably cannot be stopped once it has started flowing through this simple mechanical actuator. My math says viscosity prohibits it.

Hello BrockLee... I think the correct technical spelling is Hydraulic... :oldsmile:
