Patent attributes
A hydraulic transformer is disclosed. The hydraulic transformer may have a housing, and a first pumping mechanism disposed within the housing and rotated in a first direction by fluid pressure. The hydraulic transformer may also have a second pumping mechanism disposed within the housing and rotated by the first pumping mechanism in the first direction to increase the fluid pressure. The hydraulic transformer may further have a common shaft connecting the first and second reversible pumping mechanisms. One of the first and second pumping mechanisms may also be rotated in a second direction opposite the first by fluid pressure. The other of the first and second pumping mechanisms may also be rotated by the one of the first and second pumping mechanisms in the second direction to increase the fluid pressure.
