A hydraulic ram is a simple machine that uses moving water to lift a portion of the supply to a higher level, such as from a valley to a cistern or a water tower.
This edition explains the principles of hydro-mechanics and describes the ram’s construction, fitting, and operation with clear examples.
The text shows how the ram works automatically, using two working valves and sometimes one air valve, to push water up into a storage chamber. It connects theory to practice with diagrams and practical notes on drive pipes, air vessels, delivery valves, and dash-valves, helping you understand why the system can raise water efficiently.What you’ll experience
- A clear explanation of the power of moving water and how momentum drives the ram’s action
- A step-by-step look at the main components: drive pipe, air chamber, delivery valve, and the ram body
- Insights into common fittings, valve designs, and how to size and install rams for different water supplies
- Examples of experiments and real-world setups that illustrate performance and adjustments

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
