It is similar to a one-way hydraulic cylinder in operation. Instead of using oil to move the ram, exhaust from the engine is used to fill the expansion chamber and move the ram outward, and in turn move or raise the attached implement. There is a manually operated butterfly valve between the exhaust manifold and the collection tube to the muffler that redirects the exhaust into the lift mechanism. Sort of a Rube Goldberg arrangement, picture the way a syringe operates only in reverse, as fluid is forced into the needle end, the plunger will come out of the syringe due to icreased pressure. I don't think it would raise a fully loaded bucket or anything near that, but for resetting a cultivator, tiller or plow at the end of each crop row, it would sure beat using the same arm each time regardless of how the lift springs or counterbalance is set.
