This video, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, is the second part of a two part lecture that provides a wide overview of the schematic symbols used to represent pneumatic system components. Featured in this video are the many types of valves, including flow control valves, lever...

This animation, presented by the Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), provides an overview of pneumatic valves and pneumatic cylinders. According to the animation, "pneumatic valves control the flow of compressed air" and have "two common features: a passageway through which air...

Lesson Description:  This lesson is the sixth of nine lessons from the Vocational Math: Contextualized for Construction course that was taught at Madison Area Technical College. During this lesson students work in groups, followed by whole class discussion, on volume problems contextualized for...

This video, provided by Columbia Gorge Community College, is the first part of a two part lecture that discusses power factor and efficiency in alternating current (AC) circuits. During this lesson, viewers will "learn power factor concerns itself solely with the conversion of apparent to real power...
