2. Water vascular system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_vascular_system

   The water vascular system is a hydraulic system used by echinoderms, such as sea stars and sea urchins, for locomotion, food and waste transportation, and respiration. [1] The system is composed of canals connecting numerous tube feet. Echinoderms move by alternately contracting muscles that force water into the tube feet, causing them to ...

3. Hydraulic fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_fluid

   A hydraulic fluid or hydraulic liquid is the medium by which power is transferred in hydraulic machinery. Common hydraulic fluids are based on mineral oil or water. [ 1 ] Examples of equipment that might use hydraulic fluids are excavators and backhoes , hydraulic brakes , power steering systems, automatic transmissions , garbage trucks ...

4. Tank steering systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_steering_systems

   Tank steering systems allow a tank, or other continuous track vehicle, to turn. Because the tracks cannot be angled relative to the hull (in any operational design), steering must be accomplished by speeding one track up, slowing the other down (or reversing it), or a combination of both.

5. Dynamic steering response - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_steering_response

   The main components of Dynamic Steering Response systems in automobiles are the control unit, sensors, and the electric motor. [5] The control unit acts as the computer of the DSR unit and gives instructions to the electric motor. Instructions are determined by evaluating data from sensors to compute appropriate steering corrections. [5]

6. Cross-drive steering transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-drive_steering...

   A cross-drive steering transmission is a transmission, used in tracked vehicles to allow precise and energy-efficient steering. It consists of the following main parts: two identical single-stage planetary gearings, a differential, a hydraulic pump connected to the engine (similar to an oil pump of cars), a hydraulic motor powered by the ...

7. Power steering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_steering

   Power steering is a system for reducing a driver's effort to turn a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, by using a power source to assist steering. [1]Hydraulic or electric actuators add controlled energy to the steering mechanism, so the driver can provide less effort to turn the steered wheels when driving at typical speeds, and considerably reduce the physical effort necessary to turn the ...

8. Hydraulic ram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_ram

   [13] In 1996 English engineer Frederick Philip Selwyn patented a more compact hydraulic ram pump where the waste valve used the venturi effect and was arranged concentrically around the input pipe. [14] Initially patented as a fluid pressure amplifier due to its different design, it is currently sold as the "Papa Pump". [15]

9. Skydrol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skydrol

   Skydrol is a brand name of fire-resistant hydraulic fluid [1] used in aviation and aerospace applications. It is a phosphate ester-based fluid that is known for its excellent fire resistance and ability to withstand extreme temperature and pressure conditions.
