Simulator - Virtual Hydraulics Trainer

This interactive simulator enables students to explore hydraulic systems. Custom systems can be built using a variety of components including valves, a cylinder, a hydraulic motor, pressure gauges, a flow meter and a force meter. The principles of hydraulic operated levers can be investigated by measuring the forces involved in 1st, 2nd and 3rd order levers. A problem solving activity puts hydraulic knowledge into practice by offering the user the ability to build and operate a hydraulic system for a dump truck.
