  2. Hydropneumatic device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_device

    "Hydro" because a liquid (like water) is involved. "Pneumatic" because a gas (like air) is involved. "Accumulator" because the purpose is to store or accumulate liquid volume by easy compression of the gas. These devices are typified by having only one liquid connection that goes to a "T" on the system.

  3. Hydraulic recoil mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_recoil_mechanism

    The usual recoil system in modern quick-firing guns is the hydro-pneumatic recoil system. In this system, the barrel is mounted on rails on which it can recoil to the rear, and the recoil is taken up by a cylinder which is similar in operation to an automotive gas-charged shock absorber , and is commonly visible as a cylinder mounted parallel ...

  4. Hydraulic accumulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_accumulator

    [note 1] An accumulator enables a hydraulic system to cope with extremes of demand using a less powerful pump, to respond more quickly to a temporary demand, and to smooth out pulsations. It is a type of energy storage device. Compressed gas accumulators, also called hydro-pneumatic accumulators, are by far the most common type.

  5. Hydropneumatic suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_suspension

    The principles illustrated by the successful use of hydropneumatic suspension are now used in a broad range of applications, such as aircraft oleo struts and gas filled automobile shock absorbers, first patented in the U.S. in 1934 [31] by Cleveland Pneumatic Tool Co. Similar systems are also widely used on modern tanks and other large military ...

  6. Hydraulic compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_compressor

    The other type of hydraulic compressor uses potential and kinetic energy of a stream of water to entrain air ad carry it to a separating chamber at a higher pressure where the air accumulate above the water, and the water is allowed to drain, The system has few if any moving parts, and is also inefficient, so is used where kinetic or potential ...

  7. Paul Magès - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Magès

    Paul Ernest Mary Magès (1908–1999) is known for his invention of the first self-leveling automobile suspension, known as hydro-pneumatic suspension.This system replaced conventional steel springs with an adaptive system of hydraulic struts, resulting in a motoring experience that felt like no other automobile of the era.

  8. Hydraulic pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_pump

    [clarification needed] They were used on board ships where a constant pressure hydraulic system extended through the whole ship, especially to control ball valves [clarification needed] but also to help drive the steering gear and other systems. The advantage of the screw pumps is the low sound level of these pumps; however, the efficiency is ...

  9. Fluidics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluidics

    A module with two input streams at the top, an AND output bucket in the middle, and an XOR output stream at the bottom.. Fluidics, or fluidic logic, is the use of a fluid to perform analog or digital operations similar to those performed with electronics.
