Hydromechanics Hy`dro*me*chan"ics, n. [Hydro-, 1 + mechanics.]
That branch of physics which treats of the mechanics of
liquids, or of their laws of equilibrium and of motion.
HydromedusaHydromedusa Hy`dro*me*du"sa, n.; pl. Hydromedus[ae]. [NL.
See Hydra, and Medusa.] (Zo["o]l.)
Any medusa or jellyfish which is produced by budding from a
hydroid. They are called also Craspedota, and naked-eyed
medus[ae].
Note: Such medus[ae] are the reproductive zooids or
gonophores, either male or female, of the hydroid from
which they arise, whether they become free or remain
attached to the hydroid colony. They in turn produce
the eggs from which the hydroids are developed. The
name is also applied to other similar medus[ae] which
are not known to bud from a hydroid colony, and even to
some which are known to develop directly from the eggs,
but which in structure agree essentially with those
produced from hydroids. See Hydroidea, and
Gymnoblastea. HydromedusaeHydromedusa Hy`dro*me*du"sa, n.; pl. Hydromedus[ae]. [NL.

HydrometerHydrometer Hy*drom"e*ter, n. [Hydro-, 1 + -meter: cf. F.
hydrom[`e]tre.]
1. (Physics) An instrument for determining the specific
gravities of liquids, and thence the strength spirituous
liquors, saline solutions, etc.
Note: It is usually made of glass with a graduated stem, and
indicates the specific gravity of a liquid by the depth
to which it sinks in it, the zero of the scale marking
the depth to which it sinks in pure water. Extra
weights are sometimes used to adapt the scale to
liquids of different densities.
2. An instrument, variously constructed, used for measuring
the velocity or discharge of water, as in rivers, from
reservoirs, etc., and called by various specific names
according to its construction or use, as tachometer,
rheometer, hydrometer, pendulum, etc.; a current
gauge. hydrometerHydrometer Hy*drom"e*ter, n. [Hydro-, 1 + -meter: cf. F.
