Hydraulic and pneumatic circuits, gear trains and compressors cut open and explained part by part, so you can follow the pressure, flow and torque through every machine.
How a Hydraulic Circuit Works
A pump, valves and a cylinder moving oil to lift and hold a load.
How a Pneumatic Circuit Works
Compressed air routed through valves and a cylinder to drive motion.
How a Gear Transmission System Works
Meshing gears trading speed for torque across a gear train.
How an Air Compressor Works
Pistons or rotors squeezing air into a receiver tank.
How a Hydraulic Crane Lifting System Works
Boom, cylinders and valves turning fluid pressure into a lift.
