Fluid Dynamics: Pneumatic & Hydraulic Systems


Hydraulic Systems 

Pre-Assessment


Proficiency to be studied
Abilities for a Technological World
Students will develop the ability to intentionally apply the design process,
implementation of tools and machines to model, test, troubleshoot, observe, investigate,
and analyze the relationship between solutions and assess impacts on all
technological products and systems.
Standard 12.  Students will develop the abilities to use and maintain technological products and systems.

These will be added to and updated.


Assignments ~ Please follow the links to complete each assignment below.  Please do them in order as they appear.  Please make certain you read the description of each activity and the directions in their entirety as you work through the experiments.  

#1) Pneumatic Vs. Hydraulic Activity Sheet~ This experiment helps you form a basic understanding of the difference between pneumatic  and hydraulics.  Please follow the directions of the sheet to perform both activities.  Please read the questions before you do each activity, so you have an understanding of what you should be observing during the activity.



#2 How Do Hydraulic Systems Work? 

This document gives you an overview of how how systems work together as they are integrated with either hydraulics or pneumatics' 


#3 Wisc Online Tutorials ~ Go through the tutorials below learning how Hydraulic cylinders provide forces where needed and how they act when certain forces are applied back as a load 

     A) Hydraulic System 

#4)  States of Matter
I will present this topic to the class.  You will need the information contained with in this presentation to answer the questions for the document in #4 & #5 







Watch the video below to develop an understanding of how Pascals Law works with-in a system

#7) Assignment: Complete tutorials below submit your final score to the assignment in the classroom


Before we get the the robot design elements.  Lets research concepts behind the mechanisms that will be used to make the robot operate. More explanation in class

Who Knew






The Future of Education


Comment below in the comment section.  Post both questions in the same comment line. 

1)  Identify two things that you learned from the article that you thought were cool, amazing or just spectacular.
2) Ask two questions about something that left you wondering more about.  

Tuesday, January 21, 2020

Did you Know.....? Wouldn't it be cool if?

            

Did You Know....?  You are not competing against whom you think you....







  I ask you to "do this", you say "why?"
                                        I say "why not.."
                                                 You say "but how" do I 
                                                                  I say that's a " good question, now get started!"
                                                                        
                                                                      
                                               Wouldn't it be cool if you had a pet Elephant.                   


Let's look at the potential of harnessing the creativity, knowledge we developed for different applications....

Assignment
Now that you have watched these videos post a comment below in the comment section.   

Research inventions over the last 100 years that have changed human life in a positive way, you have 10 minutes to research and 5 minutes to do a share out across the class .

1) Now that you have some background on types of inventions that have changed the world, enter the comment around what YOU would invent, innovate or change to make a measurable difference in someones life.    

Please start your comment like this:  
"If I could I would.....create a seeds for crops that are accessible to everyone and do not need water to grow. ....."

Additive & Subtractive Manufacturing Technologies

Product Case project
Image result for stratasys printer      Laser information

Follow the link to the project so you can explore the problem of creating a product case.

FOR TODAY YOU SHOULD:

1) Create a document for the project where you should first; identify the problem statement.  Articulate what you see as the problem.  Be concise and avoid including the parameters in the problem statement.

Create some 2-3 basic sketch ideas before you do your "Research"
  
Think about it this way.  If  your just going on to google to 
find something someone else made, what are you learning? 
 from my perspective.  Nothing.  Create you ideas and refine
 your ideas based upon your research. 

2)Think of a design you would like, can be almost anything think, just think about it then do your best to ketch it out.  Once you have your sketches which should include a few views which should include some of the information that a 3 view, top, front and RT side, as well as an isometric would include.
