Fluid power is used most industries but the industry that surprised me the most was to see fluid power in the Barbershops! I didn't realize that the chair that the customer sits in is a hydraulic chair. In order for the barber to raise the customer to a level suitable for him/her, they have to repeatedly pump the chair pedal for the chair to rise. It's pretty cool to see how fluid power can be used in smaller applications as opposed to excavators or tractors where fluid power is common.
Even though I'm not really working with fluid power directly, i can't help but notice it every where i go. Cars, trucks, airplanes, and tractors are all things i see on a daily basis so i can't help but notice how fluid power has impacted those machines. It's a lot easier for me to spot a machine that uses fluid power. Even when I'm not trying to pick out a fluid powered machine, i seem to do it anyway. Somehow it has been embedded in my brain to notice every device that uses fluid power.
