2. Filling station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filling_station

   These stations typically offered free air for inflating tires, as compressed air was already on hand to operate the repair garage's pneumatic tools. While a few filling stations with a service station remain, many in the 1980s and 1990s were converted to convenience stores while still selling fuel, while others continued to offer services but ...

3. Trompe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trompe

   The compressed air rises to the top of the separation chamber (wind box). The separation chamber has a compressed-air takeoff pipe, and the compressed air can be used as a power source. The energy of the falling water creates a partial vacuum inside the pipe that is compensated by the air from the outside atmosphere provided through inlet.

4. Pneumatic tube - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_tube

   Pneumatic tubes (or capsule pipelines, also known as pneumatic tube transport or PTT) are systems that propel cylindrical containers through networks of tubes by compressed air or by partial vacuum. They are used for transporting solid objects, as opposed to conventional pipelines which transport fluids.

5. Air-line fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-line_fitting

   Nipples with mating safety couplings. Also known as pneumatic couplings, quick disconnects, air couplers, quick connect couplers, and quick couplers, hand-operable air-line fittings allow manual disconnection of gas supply lines, including compressed air and breathable air (a subset of breathing gases).

6. Compressed air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air

   Compressed air is used for many purposes, including: Pneumatics, the use of pressurized gases to do work Pneumatic post, using capsules to move paper and small goods through tubes. Air tools; HVAC control systems; spray painting; Vehicle propulsion (see compressed-air vehicle) Energy storage (see compressed-air energy storage)

7. 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 ...
