John Boyd Dunlop (5 February 1840 – 23 October 1921) was a Scottish inventor and veterinary surgeon who spent most of his career in Ireland. Familiar with making rubber devices, he invented the first practical pneumatic tyres for his child's tricycle and developed them for use in cycle racing.
In general, based on the application, a pneumatic cylinder is usually a single-acting cylinder, where there is a single port in the cylinder. In single-acting cylinders, the port extends using compressed air and retracts using an open coiled spring. In double-acting cylinders, two ports both extend and retract using compressed air.
Pneumatics (from Greek πνεῦμα pneuma 'wind, breath') is the use of gas or pressurized air in mechanical systems. Pneumatic systems used in industry are commonly powered by compressed air or compressed inert gases. A centrally located and electrically-powered compressor powers cylinders, air motors, pneumatic actuators, and other ...

Simcenter Amesim is a multi-domain software that supports modeling a variety of physics domains (hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanic, electrical, thermal, electromechanical). It is based on the Bond graph theory. Under the Windows platform, Simcenter Amesim works with the free Gcc compiler, which is provided with
Pneumatic engines also have lower weights than electric engines. Refueling is possible in many places using only wind, solar power or hydropower to move an air compressor, hydraulic pump or Stirling engine. Pneumatic power has energy synergy, because it is well suited to automotive mechatronics. Many car systems can be powered by small air motors.
