Week 2 Blog

As someone who has grown up around airplanes and general aviation, I wasn't aware that fluid power was one of the main components to adjusting the wings on an aircraft.  Also, the landing gears.  I knew it was some type of system that absorbed the force when landing but would not have imagined it to be fluid power. I am working on test bed 4, which is the patient transfer device, and I would've never thought that nurses would be "behind the wheel" of something that involves fluid power.  Fluid power is used to lift bariatric patients from one location to another.  It makes me more aware that fluid power is more prevalent than I thought.  Yes, I have noticed certain things such as the garbage disposal in my apartment to watching Transformers and excitingly telling my friends my analogy on how they work.  This experience so far has been a little tiring one but none the less a GREAT one!




Peace, Love, and Happiness
