I say second week of fluid power, but really it's just been a week of articles and papers. Some of you guys sound like you're really jumping into the research and I'm getting a little anxious over here. I'm reading up on everything I need to know about my research project, the free piston engine hydraulic pump. Some of it is actually really interesting! Knowing the history of free piston engines and how they're used today was surprising and enlightening. I also found out that we actually received our free piston engine from Ford, where my dad works, so that was pretty neat.
This week I should be practicing up on all types of algorithms; controls, data processing and more. Hopefully I'll get into the lab at the right time and actually witness the free piston engine running, as it was out of commision earlier in the week.
Anyways, your guy's research sounds a little more interesting then mine thus far. Hopefully I'll be getting to the hands on stuff soon.
Hope everyone's week goes well!
