Pneumatic Safety Description: Mechanical devices, especially fast acting, powerd mechanical devices can be dangerous.Pneumatic systems are powerful and fast acting. It is possible to avoid injuries by recognizing and identifying dangerous conditions.
The first rule of pneumatic safety is:
Always wear safety glasses when work...Go to Lesson >>
Introduction to Constructing Pneumatic Circuits Description: This unit provides students and teachers with the information and skills they need to use the GEARS pneumatic components. Students who understand the fundamental principles involved in the operation of pneumatic components can safely design and build working pneumatic modules . Students can then int...Go to Lesson >>
Analyzing the Pneumatic Reservoir Description: This lesson is a exercise in using basic math skills and physical science concepts to indirectly determine the interior volume of the pneumatic reservoir.
The energy storage capacity of the GEARS pneumatic reservoir is a function of both the volume and air pressure it contains.
One method is to m...Go to Lesson >>
Compressed Air History Description: Good engineers build safe reliable machines that work predictably. The most effective design tools are knowledge and experience.
