Talk:Hydraulis

The article currently claims that the hydraulis "operated by converting the dynamic energy of water (hýdōr in Greek) into air pressure to drive the pipes". As far as I know, water was only used to regulate the air pressure generated by bellows or something. The idea that it somehow converted "the dynamic energy of water" into air pressure is new to me. I might look up some sources and possibly edit the article eventually, but for now, can anyone point to evidence that the current text is true? EldKatt (Talk) 13:44, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * This seems accurate. Like early European organs, I think an assistant pumped it with bellows, making air the generator for the sound, isn't that right?  Badagnani 19:22, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

I have a problem with the part at the end about electricity. This presupposes that the reader lives in an area where "hydro" is used to refer to electric power, this is relatively uncommon in most of the english speaking world. I believe that it is Canadian slang, but this usage of the term is unheard of in the US. Furthermore, this section has little relavence to the article, espescialy the mention of the "hydro meter". -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.91.147.60 (talk • contribs)
