hydraulically
Through pressurized fluid
In a manner that uses fluid pressure to generate force or motion.
Hydraulic systems power heavy machinery, brakes, and lifts by transmitting pressure through liquid in enclosed spaces: The platform rises hydraulically.
The word also describes anything operated by such systems: hydraulically controlled landing gear.
