Using a standard contract; you agree to buy a place and put down a deposit to show you are sincere. This is called earnest money. The title company or real estate broker holds the money. This money is used to pay your closing cost or returned to the buyer at the time of the sale.
If the buyer backs out of the sale a small cancellation fee is taken out of the deposit and given to the seller. All remaining is given to either the buyer or seller by the terms of the contract. Usually if you just change your mind the seller gets the money; but if the buyer finds something wrong with the house; or is not approved for the final loan; the buyer usually gets all the deposit back. And being pre-approved for a loan does not guarantee you will get the final loan.

The original post says he offered more than the house was worth. That is reason enough for the bank to turn down the loan.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
