Yes it is very possible........fluid pushes and rotates the drive.......as it pushes it goes back to pump and recycles itself.

 

soo nice....i wonder how that would revolutionize cars...maybe make it easier to make non AWD / 4WD drive cars AWD or 4WD

 

It would be very expensive, require a lot of room for the pressure tanks, and a lot of weight for the system but the bracing as well. It would be great for cars that don't have a lot of room under them to direct a "drive line" to the rear wheels. Unfortunately it would be another fliud to change, and if they used rubber hoses/fittings, it would be another maintenance area. Plus if you are using pressure tanks and one ruptures in an accident it could be a mild to moderate explosion ...

 

it would probably sound pretty cool going down the road though... or be very annoying. hydraulic pumps usually arent very quiet.

 

yeah it would probably be noisy

 

lol nice!

 

the HLA system is noisy and for heavy trucks and only "jump start" the unit off the line upto about 30 Kph,
and this is similar to a "bobcat" or a tank drive system and would need very large pumps / piping to for high speeds
