Fundamentals of Hydraulics

School and university students learn about hydraulic content with this realistic educational construction kit. This new set offers hands-on technology for learning about the transfer of force using liquids. Five different models illustrate how signals and forces can be transferred with liquid media. Students can build a simple functional demonstration model, an excavator, and three other models. Combined with the accompanying educational materials, the set helps to provide a solid overview on the topic of hydraulics. The downloadable teaching and activity materials are provided free of charge on the eLearning Portal to support teachers in preparing for and designing their curricula.

Includes instructional activity information (free download)
Components include 4 control cylinders, and 4 working cylinders
Contains 475 parts for building 5 different models.
 

Fundamentals of Engineering and Construction: The ideal technology construction set for all future mechanical engineers. The areas of dynamics, statics, gears, structure, and bracing are all addressed as students learn by building models that illustrate the principles behind these concepts. This set will help students to answer questions such as:

• How does a gear box work?
• What is a planetary gear?
• How is the movement of a windshield wiper produced?
• How do you design a stable bridge?
• ...and much more.

Requires 9V battery (not included).
