Nope -I didn't watch the video. You wrote that the pressure generated by freezing water had never been used in a machine before. Does the video contradict you?

And as for the context that makes this more viable than common hydraulics? That would be space and anywhere cold.

There is no free lunch. In cold places, it will be difficult to prevent premature cooling and/or reheat the medium, in hot places the reverse will be true.

Before you tear it to pieces please watch the video, and even try it at home.

I went to school so that I could answer some applied-physics questions after only hearing them and thinking about them.  After thinking about this, I didn't tear anything to pieces. If you can come up with a commercially viable way to exploit the volume change water or some other material(s) goes through when it is heated/cooled, I'm serious - Go for it.
