💁🏻♀️ TIL: Garbage #trucks use hydraulic systems, robotic arms, and compactors to lift, crush, and haul tons of #waste.
Experts explain rear-load and side-load trucks, from the first automated model in 1969 to today’s electric fleets. Every truck repeats the collection process hundreds of times per route before heading to a landfill.

Interesting. In isolation, making the end of the hose smaller with your thumb should not matter (the flow rate should be the same). In practice, it does, because using the thumb affects the flow rate of the system. You'll also learn info on pipe engineering.

When two cavitation bubbles of different sizes collapse, they form distinct jet patterns that affect local pressure and energy distribution.
Understanding these dynamics helps predict damage in hydraulic systems.

Love seeing the little dunes cannibalizing the big dunes on the falling limb of a hydrograph 😍
