2. Underground pneumatic boring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_pneumatic_boring

   A piercing tool uses compressed air to bore through the ground. Manufacturers have proprietary standards and control mechanisms. Compressed air is run to the piercing tool through a pneumatic hose. Additionally an oiler attachment is used to send oil along with the compressed air, similar to a jackhammer. Inside the piercing tool is a piston. A ...

3. 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.

4. Gas duster - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_duster

   A gas duster, also known as tinned wind, compressed air, or canned air, is a product used for cleaning or dusting electronic equipment and other sensitive devices that cannot be cleaned using water. This type of product is most often packaged as a can that, when a trigger is pressed, blasts a stream of compressed gas through a nozzle at the top.

5. Pneumatic tool - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_tool

   A pneumatic tool, air tool, air-powered tool or pneumatic-powered tool is a type of power tool, driven by compressed air supplied by an air compressor. Pneumatic tools can also be driven by compressed carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) stored in small cylinders allowing for portability.

6. Compressed air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air

   An early major application of compressed air was in the drilling of the Mont Cenis Tunnel in Italy and France in 1861, where a 600 kPa (87 psi) compressed air plant provided power to pneumatic drills, increasing productivity greatly over previous manual drilling methods. Compressed-air drills were applied at mines in the United States in the 1870s.

7. Pneumatic lubricator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_lubricator

   A pneumatic lubricator injects an aerosolized stream of oil into an air line to provide lubrication to the internal working parts of pneumatic tools, and to other devices such as actuating cylinders, valves, and motors. Compressed air enters the inlet port and passes over a needle valve orifice attached to a pick-up tube.
