Sounds like a cool dude. Modern systems are far too complex to make in a home workshop, but hydraulics are simple at heart if you can use a little logic.

I’m a hydraulic fitter. I repair and maintain hydraulic systems, primarily on earthmoving equipment.

Ships are much more efficient than cars. Having said that, this wouldn’t have a huge range, nor is it terribly big by container ship standards.

Cooking food probably started us down a path to become as intelligent as we are today.
