Week 2

Last week was a continuation of preparation for the research I am working on.  Primarily doing research into how to wire GT's HPEH device to a wireless sensor to show that the device effectively provides power to small sensors (eg: temperature, pressure, distance) along with more effective wiring methods for the device.  So far the research is more theoretical than hands on at my end, but never the less it's still very interesting.

With regards to noticing fluid power being utilized in an every day setting: as with everyone else, GT is doing extensive construction to their campus to update their water lines.  So the construction vehicles are an obvious example of fluid power, along with planes, and Atlanta's MARTA transit system which I have been using to explore some parts of the city.  Along the same vein, the High Museum of Art had a dream car exhibit and there were some display descriptions that touched upon fluid power within some of the machines as well, so I thought that was neat.
