School Project - DIY Hydraulic Excavator Experiment Kit

DIY Hydraulic Excavator Experiment Kit

Discover the power of hydraulics with this hands-on DIY Hydraulic Excavator Experiment Kit. Once assembled, the wooden model uses water-filled syringes and flexible tubing to control the movement of the excavator arm and bucket—without electricity or batteries.

This engaging construction project introduces learners to hydraulic pressure, mechanical movement and basic engineering principles. It also encourages problem-solving, concentration, creativity and practical building skills, making it ideal for school science projects and educational activities at home.

Features:

• Buildable wooden excavator arm model
• Operated using water-powered hydraulic pressure
• Syringes control the arm and bucket movements
• Demonstrates hydraulics and mechanical engineering concepts
• Encourages problem-solving and hands-on learning
• No batteries or electricity required
• Ideal for STEM activities and science projects
• Can be displayed after assembly

Package Includes:

• Wooden construction pieces
• Plastic syringes
• Flexible connecting tubes
• Screws and assembly components

How It Works:

After assembling the model, connect and fill the syringes and tubes with water. Pressing and pulling the control syringes transfers hydraulic pressure through the tubing, causing the excavator arm and bucket to move.

Please note: Assembly is required. Adult supervision may be necessary when assembling the kit and filling the hydraulic system.
