Introduction to pneumatics
This 2 minute 30 second video introduces pneumatics. It describes some of the advantages of using pneumatics in industry, such as it being fast so use for automatic manufacturing systems, useful in the food industry as air is clean so there is no contamination and equipment operates reliably. Reasons for the uses of pneumatics are discussed. It would be useful to set the context for a pneumatics lesson so that students can see the wide variety of uses of pneumatics in engineering systems.
