Bootcamp

Hi all!

I learned a ton about hydraulics at fluid power bootcamp.  I only knew a little about fluid power previously, and now I feel very confident with the basics.  Before this introduction, I didn't even realize that there was a standardized way for drawing fluid circuits, and in my first week working on my REU project I've already used one.  I thought that all of the labs and lectures were really helpful to understanding different parts of hydraulics.  I feel much better prepared for this research project now then I did before. :)

While I was at Purdue, I was surprised by the size of some of the equipment at the Maha Fluid Power Research Center - I wasn't expected a full sized excavator to be in the lab!

I hope you all are having fun with your research projects!
