My BIL, who is kind of a genius, made an opener with a bunch of relays, sensors and other electronic wizardry. He had it on a duck house, and a couple minutes before it closed the door, it would play "When the Saints Go Marching In." The idea was that the quackers would learn to march into the house when the song played, then be safely tucked up for the night. Door would automatically open in the morning. He knew there would be a learning curve, so he went out when he heard the music and manually put the ducks in the house.

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
