This is about boosting power with automotive hydraulic clutch principle.# . A hydraulic bottle jack allows you to lift quite a bit of a car with just your arm. You need that power to go in a circle with out having to work the valve..So hydraulic clutches used on cars/trucks connected to crankshafts.. GOES IN A CIRCLE NOW..You work out the piston ratios...endless potential..I have had a sketch for years. . I was jacking up the car one day with a bottle jack one day and said " I need this power to go in a circle on a little motor to get this same kind of muscle boost " ! Later I looked at that rusted out 280zx with that great 5 speed & hydraulic clutch.. then thought HYDRAULIC CLUTCH SYSTEM ON A CRANKSHAFT WILL GO IN A CIRCLE..THEN IT WAS " EAT CROW EVIL GREED " you can't patent none of this so you'll have to be humble ! Looks like damn near free energy for the world ! But there is " A CATCH " ..Hydraulic fluid at high speed will need either : A = a cooling system or : B= ugh a non flammable/ non- combustible hydraulic fluid and that might bring in THE PATENT VAMPIRES !

A hydraulic clutch is not actually hydraulic, but is actuated by a hydraulic cylinder. There are such things as hydraulic motors that have been used on bikes before.

The bearing goes in the circle, not the piston.

There are all kinds of hydraulic motors that will run in a circle like a brush cutter for one. The problem is nothing is free. You will notice with your jack, you have to move the handle a long ways to make the piston move a few mm.
Yep..it's like a liquid cable..If you are familiar with Howard Hughes's SPRUCE GOOSE.. Tail fin controls were a long distance from the cockpit to use cables and they were going to require alot of muscle to operate so he used FLUID HENCE : " HYDRAULICS "...I am going to stick with the terminology HYDRAULIC CLUTCH as the common LAYMAN will know what I am referring to ..Feel free to conduct your presentations your way .

I understood what you meant, however you were asking about a way to help with engine power from hydraulics.(atleast that's what I got from your post). A hydraulic clutch and a mechanical cable clutch aren't all that different other than the actuation. On an MB a hydraulic clutch isn't necessary.

No, op is on some free energy goofiness. While it would be possible to use a hydrostatic transmission in a motorized bike or a mini bike. Not the best idea because of how inefficient those are but it is possible.
He's definitely on something alright...lol.

As a Fluid power tech I have no idea.
