Mercury have a density of 13.5 (hydraulic oil about 0.88), which within a 2.5 meter long line from rear to front would create a pressure of 13.5 Bar under 4g deceleration. If this pressure would affect an 80 mm diameter hydraulic cylinder it would create 6800 N (680 kg) of force, probably enough to lift the suspension on each front wheel to raise the nose.
So if that's what it was all about, clever, no wonder they wanted to spend time on it, such a shame if it was banned?
Myself, I hope to see something like the above, at least I'm sure they were toying with it, perhaps banned now?
Anyway, an inactive member has done an outstanding job developing the concept, working both front and rear actually.
