PREFACE • The focus of this report is to present an explanation of a newly identified mechanical advantage in hydraulic applications. With this mechanical advantage applied, we are able to assist in facing one of our planets greatest threats; Climate Change. Quote from Donald Gorber Ph. D., P. Eng. “ I believe that Mr. Strain's invention will advance the scientific community's understanding of thermodynamics relating to pressurized fluids and energy to a new level. If fully developed the invention has the potential to reduce energy and as a result a reduction in the use of fossil fuels, thus assisting in the battle against climate change.” Three peer review letters are presented on pages 13.276 to 13.282 from Scientists/Engineers who tested the actual models, concluding that the DiamondShaped Actuator has >15% more mechanical advantage over conventional hydraulic piston actuators. Apparatus used is presented in photo (IMAGE 1). • The current scientific understanding of the working capability of pressurized liquids accepts the hydraulic formula Work = Pressure X Volume change (W=P∆V) in designing conventional hydraulic piston systems. • The newly identified fluid-driven mechanical advantage, presented in an altered hydraulic actuator design, requires an extended assessment of the formula (W=P∆V). • This report illustrates a method where a lesser volume of fluid at a lower pressure generates a larger volume of fluid at a higher pressure. • Applying the formula W = P∆V to both the larger volume of fluid (Workout), at a higher pressure, and the lesser volume of fluid (Workin), at a lower pressure, concludes with Workout > Workin . • The formula W=P∆V does not apply to the diamond-Shaped Actuator. 13.274
