How to Build a Hydraulic Press Model?

Im doing a Physics project, where I have been asked to create a hydraulic press. It must use pistons and syringes will not suffice. However finding the right guides to building such a thing has been a hassle. Anyone have any insight? Pictures demonstrating what needs to be done also would be of great help. Thanks!

Answer:

A hybrid car is a car that runs on both gasoline and another source of power. The other source of power is usually electric or hydrogen, though there aren't any production hydrogen cars yet.
I suggest that you go to google and search the image section for a basic hydraulic press, to get a 'view' of the simplicity and complexity of a presses,,,,,then attempt the following:: Build yourself a very strong(steel) rectangular framework... Then, using either a 'hydraulic bottle jack', or parts of a hydraulic car lift jack to be the pressing element. You need to attach the jack to one end of the rectangular framework, then as you apply hydraulic pressure(hand pumping the jack) the cylinder's rod will extend and press against the other end of the framework. This press can squeeze whatever you place between the rod and the end of the framework....modify as necessary to press something IN or OUT. This is a very basic beginning.....good luck ...If you have access to hydraulic and air cylinders, along with either high pressure oil pumps, or high pressure air supply, you can build a sophisticated unit, approaching a more realistic press.
