My Project

Please help my students learn about fluid power. We can use these things to see how fluid power works! We can also build a project using fluid power. One project we would really like to try is building a hydraulic robotic arm with syringes and foam board. We may also try a hydraulic box. We can also do several different experiments to investigate how fluid power operates and how it helps us do work. We can use these syringes in manufacturing, architecture and engineering class. We appreciate your consideration and look forward to your response.
