The document discusses hydraulic systems and devices. It defines a hydraulic system as using a liquid like water or oil to transmit power. It describes hydraulic lifts and presses that use small forces to lift large loads based on Pascal's law. Hydraulic accumulators are also discussed, which store pressurized energy in the form of a loaded ram or piston in a cylinder. The capacity of an accumulator depends on the area of the cylinder, the lift height, and the pressure of the contained liquid.
