Piston Virtual liquid

Secondary savings
Virtual liquid piston

If the conical cavity in Figure 1 with a solid element such as a piston (1), it will prevent that this space is occupied by incoming hydraulic fluid. The surface occupied by such an element will not exert any motive action, but the exchange of motive force/fluid saving will be very beneficial to this system, being this secondary savings the most important, since although the surface of the piston (1) represents a small fraction that subtracts thrust from the total surface of the larger base of the cone (3), as the assembly unfolds, this small fraction of surface gains height and therefore acquires a volume equivalent to this surface multiplied by the stroke of the larger base of the cone (3), thus taking up space inside the cone-shaped chamber shown in Figure 1; this space also does not need to be replenished with incoming liquid:

Figure 4 shows a view in which the segments are folded as in Figures 2 and 3. stationary piston which exists solely for the purpose of taking up space. Due to the low compressibility of the hydraulic fluid, the no. 2 is a liquid extension of the pistonNo. 4 represents a virtual extension of the piston which behaves as if it were a solid element. No. 3 represents an external view of such Figures 2 and 3. No. 5 represents the same moving part through which the immobile piston (1) circulates, from which the liquid extension (2) is spread when Figure 2 is unfolded and forms the geometry of Figure 1.

Thus, when hydraulic fluid is injected through port 4, the concentric rings expand as shown in Figure 1 and in doing so tend to surround the liquid extension of the piston (2), so that the latter adds to the liquid (7). This means that a minimum amount of incoming liquid is sufficient to displace all the concentric conical segments. No. 5 is also part of the thrust mechanism to a connecting rod; no. 6 shows the outer appearance of the expanded segments:

Section in which the numbers 2 and 7 show the volume resulting from the two saving methods of hydraulic fluid. In this example, they add up to a total of 1.53 litresThe 2.09 litres of the total volume of the cone, the actual hydraulic fluid requirement is only 0.56 litres per cycle.

Numbers 2 and 7 show a picture of the hydraulic fluid saving impeller of this system, which in this example implies an overall economy of 1.62 L, which means a decrease in the need for the system by around a ratio of 9,16 : 1 with respect to that required by a standard hydraulic cylinder of the same surface area of its piston with respect to the larger base of the cone, the result of which is that the injection pump can be 9.16 times less powerful than a standard hydraulic cylinder would require.
