Hydraulic power

Hydraulic power is a form of energy based on the forced movement of liquid, typically water. Generally speaking, liquid is forced through tube-like conduits, such as glass hydraulic pipes, metal hydraulic pipe(favilink error!), and plastic hydraulic pipe(favilink error!) until it reaches a mechanism that can receive and utilize the hydraulic power.

Hydraulic systems are found in Grit Gate and Yd Freehold.

Objects That Generate Hydraulic Power

• fusion pumping station
• hydraulic brass foaminator

Notes

Hydraulic power is distinct from the mechanical power generated by a wooden water wheel. Mechanically speaking for Caves of Qud, these are unrelated. Conceptually speaking, one might imagine the water wheel as an object that converts hydraulic power into mechanical power.
