Wherever necessary, the miner taps them, and either uses the water in his ordinary sluice-way, or else by his hydraulic pipes hurls it against the hills, and literally washes them to the plain.
This hydraulic mining seemed to be most in favor there, and the power developed by some of these streams was immense.
The hydraulic piston machine not only costs a great deal more in proportion to the power it produces, but it costs more to maintain it, and it costs more to run it.
Hydraulic piston compressors are subject to the laws that govern piston pumps, and are, therefore, limited to a piston speed of about 100 feet per minute.
The hydraulic piston compressor has one solitary advantage, and that is, it has no dead spaces.
This hydraulic compressor seems to have a certain charm about it, which has resulted in its adoption in Germany, France and Belgium, and by one of the largest mines in the United States.
The hydraulic piston or plunger compressor is largely used in Germany and elsewhere on the Continent of Europe, but the duplex may be said to be the standard type of European compressor at the present time.
It is known as the 'Amsterdamsche Peil,' and every hydraulic undertaking in the country is measured by its standard, as having a level of so many metres or centimetres above or below the usual level of the sea.
Armature cores constructed of the number of plates stated, and forced together by means of screws and heavy hydraulic pressure, contain from 80 to 90 per cent.
Recently an important post was filled up, connected, let us say, with road-making andhydraulic structures.
The crude anthracene is separated from the mother oils by filter presses, followed by centrifugals or by hot hydraulic presses.
This is a loss that does not occur in establishments equipped with the best hydraulic presses.
The ramming is done by hand, the final squeeze being imparted against the presser D by the action of the hydraulic ram E pushing the plate, mould and box up against D.
But there are many large articles manufactured which do not strictly come under the term forgings, in which the aid of dies actuated by powerful hydraulic presses is utilized.
No modern engineer, civil or military, accustomed to rely on machinery, steam and hydraulic apparatus, could hope to emulate the feats of the legionaries.
The important point is that the perpendicular movement, being under the coercion of the vertical guides provided in the hand machines, or the hydraulic ram in fig.
The dies used for some of these are massive, and a single squeeze from the ram of the hydraulic press employed bends the steel plate between the dies to shape at once.
The riveted frame is constructed of two cast iron flanges between which the stator laminations of sheet steel are securely clamped and riveted under hydraulic pressure.
In the field construction, the core laminations are assembled in a closed box frame, and clamped by heavy rings while under hydraulic pressure.
It seemed as if the door were buckling and being literally wrenched off its hinges by the irresistible ten-ton punch of the hydraulic ram.
In some portions of the mountains hydraulic mining is more common than quartz-mining.
Washing it from the gravel is called placer-mining; and if the gravel is deep and a powerful stream of water is required, the work is called hydraulic mining.
The principle was that of a huge swinging saloon, moved by hydraulic power, while a man directed the movement by a sort of spirit-level.
We could see the curious 'swinging saloon' fitted into the vessel, with the ingenious hydraulic leverage by which it could be kept nicely balanced.
The insulation of the strand was found to be perfect under these circumstances, and continued so even when the core was subjected to hydraulic pressure, amounting to five tons on the square inch.
The scenery here is not set by hand, but is moved by machinery, by means of immense hydraulic rams beneath the stage, and the changes are made with such regularity and precision that they have very much the effect of "dissolving views.
About a dozen little girls are employed in the press-room in laying the sheets, of the best description of Bibles, between glazed boards, and so preparing them for being placed in the hydraulic presses.
The hydraulic machinery for the Tower Bridge and the Manchester Ship Canal were both produced by this great firm.
At first the enterprise chiefly consisted in the manufacture of hydraulic cranes, engines, accumulators, and bridges.
Collot exhibited at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1878 a patented hydraulic apparatus styled a filtering press, the principle and construction of which it will prove of interest to describe.
The entire filter thus constructed is attached to one of the columns, C', of the hydraulic press in such a way that it can revolve around it.
Hydraulic brakes, worked by means of water forced through pipes into proper mechanism for transmitting its force to the brake-shoes.
The whole internal harbour system is furnished with powerful hydraulic cranes and lines of railway running alongside the quays.
Soon the high-flying crowds of birds drew down, and swept for a few minutes low over the willows, from end to end of the eyot, with a sound like the rush of water in a hydraulic pipe.
Thus at Mottisfont Abbey on the Test an old mill stream is used to work an hydraulic ram, and also to supply eels for the house; the water is diverted into the eel-trap, and the fish taken at any time.
First the old roads with auto-cars, then the old mills with hydraulic lighting and low-power dynamos will come to the front again.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "hydraulic" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: aquatic; liquid; plashy; sloppy; splashy; watery
