A hydraulic accumulator is a pressure storage reservoir in which an incompressible hydraulic fluid is held under pressure that is applied by an external source of mechanical energy. The external source can be an engine, a spring , a raised weight , or a compressed gas .
[4] [5] Hydraulic "active boost" winches control the oil flow from the pump(s) to the winch so that the target position is reached. Hydraulic winch systems can use accumulators and passive heave compensation to form a semi-active system with both an active and a passive component. In such systems the active part will take over when the passive ...
Hydraulic circuits can perform a sequence of operations automatically, such as trip-and-reclose three times, then lockout, of an oil-interrupting recloser. [7] Shuttle valves provide a logical or function. Check valves are one-way valves, allowing an accumulator to charge and maintain its pressure after the machine is turned off, for example.
However, a charging pressure above P lo will not allow the pump to turn on when the water pressure is below P lo, so it is kept a bit below P lo. Another important parameter is the drawdown factor ( f Δ V ), which is the ratio of the drawdown to the total tank volume:

Diagram of recoil mechanism, British 60-pounder gun Mk.I, 1916 The idea of using a water brake to counteract the recoil of naval cannons was first suggested to the British Admiralty by Carl Wilhelm Siemens in early 1870s, but it took about a decade for other people (primarily Josiah Vavasseur) to commercialize the idea.
The groom disagreed with his wife, countering that his friend was "just joking." "But I don’t find anything funny about that," the bride insisted.
A hydraulic cylinder is the actuator or "motor" side of this system. The "generator" side of the hydraulic system is the hydraulic pump which delivers a fixed or regulated flow of oil to the hydraulic cylinder, to move the piston. There are three types of pump widely used: hydraulic hand pump, hydraulic air pump, and hydraulic electric pump.
