Hydraulic propeller, a device for propelling ships by means
of a stream of water ejected under water rearward from the
ship.

Hydraulic ram, a machine for raising water by means of the
energy of the moving water of which a portion is to be
raised. When the rush of water through the main pipe d
shuts the valve at a, the momentum of the current thus
suddenly checked forces part of it into the air chamber b,
and up the pipe c, its return being prevented by a valve
at the entrance to the air chamber, while the dropping of
the valve a by its own weight allows another rush through
the main pipe, and so on alternately.

Hydraulic valve. (Mach.)
(a) A valve for regulating the distribution of water in the
cylinders of hydraulic elevators, cranes, etc.
(b) (Gas Works) An inverted cup with a partition dipping into
water, for opening or closing communication between two
gas mains, the open ends of which protrude about the
water.
[1913 Webster]
Hydraulical
(gcide)
Hydraulical \Hy*drau"lic*al\, a.
Hydraulic.
[1913 Webster]
Hydraulicon
(gcide)
Hydraulicon \Hy*drau"li*con\, n. [NL. See Hydraulic.] (Mus.)
An ancient musical instrument played by the action of water;
a water organ. [Written also hydraulis.]
[1913 Webster]
Hydraulics
(gcide)
Hydraulics \Hy*drau"lics\, n. [Cf. F. hydraulique.]
That branch of science, or of engineering, which treats of
fluids in motion, especially of water, its action in rivers
and canals, the works and machinery for conducting or raising
it, its use as a prime mover, and the like.
[1913 Webster]

Note: As a science, hydraulics includes hydrodynamics, or the
principles of mechanics applicable to the motion of
water; as a branch of engineering, it consists in the
practical application of the mechanics of fluids to the
control and management of water with reference to the
wants of man, including canals, waterworks, hydraulic
machines, pumps, water wheels, etc. Some writers treat
hydraulics and hydrostatics as subdivisions of
hydrodynamics.
[1913 Webster]Mechanics \Me*chan"ics\, n. [Cf. F. m['e]canique.]
That science, or branch of applied mathematics, which treats
of the action of forces on bodies.
[1913 Webster]

Note: That part of mechanics which considers the action of
forces in producing rest or equilibrium is called
statics; that which relates to such action in
producing motion is called dynamics. The term
mechanics includes the action of forces on all bodies,
whether solid, liquid, or gaseous. It is sometimes,
however, and formerly was often, used distinctively of
solid bodies only: The mechanics of liquid bodies is
called also hydrostatics, or hydrodynamics,
according as the laws of rest or of motion are
considered. The mechanics of gaseous bodies is called
also pneumatics. The mechanics of fluids in motion,
with special reference to the methods of obtaining from
them useful results, constitutes hydraulics.
[1913 Webster]

Animal mechanics (Physiol.), that portion of physiology
which has for its object the investigation of the laws of
equilibrium and motion in the animal body. The most
important mechanical principle is that of the lever, the
bones forming the arms of the levers, the contractile
muscles the power, the joints the fulcra or points of
support, while the weight of the body or of the individual
limbs constitutes the weight or resistance.

Applied mechanics, the principles of abstract mechanics
applied to human art; also, the practical application of
the laws of matter and motion to the construction of
machines and structures of all kinds.

orbital mechanics, the principles governing the motion of
bodies in orbit around other bodies under gravitational
influence, such as artificial Earth satellites.
[1913 Webster +PJC]
