Excerpt from Hydraulic Rams: Their Principles and Construction, Including Some Experiments Carried Out by the Author at the Regent Street Polytechnic and Various Parts of the Country
A hydraulic ram is a machine with no moving parts, excepting two working valves and some times one air valve, and is used for raising a portion of the water which works it to a height, such as from a valley to a cistern in a house, or a reservoir or water tower, in some elevated position.
Before describing the ram and its capabilities it will be advisable to explain certain principles in hydro-mechanics and thus help to make the action more Clearly understood.
In earlier lectures the principles of what is commonly known as water-hammer in pipes were explained, and also the appliances used by plumbers for preventing the objectionable noises made when the flow of water in pipes is suddenly arrested.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an instructional guide to installing and maintaining hydraulic rams, with emphasis on their use in raising water from a lower to a higher elevation. The author provides a thorough description of hydraulic ram construction and operation, proceeding to walk the reader through setup and adjustment, including a discussion of factors such as drive pipe sizing and air compression. The practical examples provided are particularly valuable. While the book is somewhat dated, its insights on the principles of water dynamics and its clear explanations of the mechanics of hydraulic ram operation make it a worthwhile resource for homeowners, engineers, and anyone else interested in this technology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
