The document describes a student project to build a model hydraulic bridge. It begins with acknowledgements and an introduction describing the real hydraulic bridges. It then lists the aims, materials, and construction steps to build a model bascule bridge that uses a hydraulic system of syringes and tubes to lift its leaves and allow boats to pass through. The working explains how hydraulic pressure from pushing one syringe is transmitted through the water to lift the bridge leaves. Examples of real hydraulic bridges and limitations of the system are also provided.
