ok, lets design a hydraulic AMP :)

what kind of "VALVE" will it use? certainly the russians made one!

Speaking of George, did you know that the same formulas for ohms law, are the 
same in hydraulics? The only difference is the terms are changed. Current = 
flow, and voltage = pressure. Resistance I'd say is still a resistance like 
placing a needle valve in line, or changing a pipe/hose size. I'm not sure what 
the term for resistance would be in hydraulics (restriction?) now since I've 
not done any of that in probably 7 years? I figure that George seen this in 
hydraulics, and converted it over to electricity when he seen they worked the 
same. Hydraulics formulas were out way before electrical. The US military used 
to teach electronics by using the water theory I think they called it. They 
compared how water acted being pumped through pipes as compared to a generator 
pushing electrons through a wire, tube = valve, etc..

Best,

Will
