Hydraulic press works on principle of Pascal's law - a principle in fluid mechanics that states that a pressure change occurring anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere
It states that a small force applied on a smaller piston is transmitted to produce a large force on the bigger piston.
