hydraulic rams
Fluid-pressure lifting devices
Hydraulic rams are devices that use water pressure to generate mechanical force.
In plumbing and engineering, a hydraulic ram pump harnesses the momentum of flowing water to lift a portion of that water to a higher elevation—requiring no external power source.
In machinery, hydraulic rams are cylinders where pressurized fluid drives a piston to produce linear force: The excavator's hydraulic rams control the boom and bucket.
