This document is the first chapter of a basic hydraulics textbook. It covers fundamental hydraulics concepts like the Egyptian water wheel, the first water pumping devices and turbines, Pascal's hydraulic lever, Bramah's hydraulic press, hydrodynamic and hydrostatic devices, atmospheric pressure, pressure gauges, pressure in series and parallel circuits, how pressure is created by force and resistance to flow, and how liquids seek level. It introduces key topics that will be expanded on in later chapters on hydraulic terms, fluids, symbols, and system components.
