2. Air compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_compressor

   Air compressor supplies air into a nail gun.. An air compressor is a machine that takes ambient air from the surroundings and discharges it at a higher pressure. It is an application of a gas compressor and a pneumatic device that converts mechanical power (from an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in compressed air, which has many uses.

3. Pneumatic motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_motor

   A pneumatic motor (air motor), or compressed-air engine, is a type of motor which does mechanical work by expanding compressed air. Pneumatic motors generally convert the compressed-air energy to mechanical work through either linear or rotary motion. Linear motion can come from either a diaphragm or piston actuator, while rotary motion is ...

4. Rotary-screw compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary-screw_compressor

   Consequently, air treatment identical to that used for an oil-flooded screw compressor is frequently required to ensure quality compressed air. In small piston compressors carpenters homeowners sometimes use "oil free" compressors in which oil free is a reference to not using oil but Teflon type of coatings permanently adhered to wear surfaces.

5. Compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor

   In hermetic and most semi-hermetic compressors, the compressor and motor driving the compressor are integrated, and operate within the pressurized gas envelope of the system. The motor is designed to operate in, and be cooled by, the refrigerant gas being compressed.

6. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

   Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine. Air is compressed by the compressor blades as it enters the engine, and it is mixed and burned with fuel in the combustion section. The hot exhaust gases provide forward thrust and turn the turbines which drive the compressor blades. 1. Intake 2. Low pressure compression 3. High pressure compression ...

7. Pneumatic circuit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_circuit

   A pneumatic circuit is an interconnected set of components that convert compressed gas (usually air) into mechanical work. In the normal sense of the term, the circuit must include a compressor or compressor-fed tank. [1]
