Pneumatics and Fluid Power

What are the two branches of Fluid Power.

• Pneumatics and Hydrogen

• Pneumatics and Horsepower

• Pneumatics and Hydraulics

• Pneumatics and Horoscops

Pneumatics is concerned with a system that uses:

• Oil

• Expanded air

• Compressed air

• Electricity

What does Pascal's law state?

• When you apply a small amount of pressure to a compressed fluid, it will send that pressure nowhere.

• When you apply pressure to a confined fluid, the fluid will send that pressure out in all directions at the same rate.

• When you apply a large amount of pressure to an object, it will float.

• When you use a fluid to apply pressure, the pressure will release.
