The first week of my hydraulics course (4th month) in this wind turbine tech program has been very informative and exciting. Our instructor has real turbine experience. He worked for Vestas, and his sharing of knowlege and ability to teach has been very fun.
There is a written curriculum in which we are learning the principals of hydraulic devices, and interpreting and drawing schematic diagrams. We use training tables that have a selection of DCV's, needle valves, flow meters and guages. There is a range of lengths of hydraulic hose with Quick connect fittings, and we use pictoral or schematic diagrams to reproduce many fluid power configurations on the trainers.
I never guessed before this class how engaging hydraulics could be. I am very excited about the education I am getting in this class, and in this program as a whole.
