  2. Pneumatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatics

    Any compressed gas other than air is an asphyxiation hazard—including nitrogen, which makes up 78% of air. Compressed oxygen (approx. 21% of air) would not asphyxiate, but is not used in pneumatically-powered devices because it is a fire hazard, more expensive, and offers no performance advantage over air. Smaller or stand-alone systems can ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-derived_fuel

    Burning tires is lower on the hierarchy of reducing waste than recycling, but it is better than placing the tire waste in a landfill or dump, where there is a possibility for uncontrolled tire fires or the harboring of disease vectors such as mosquitoes. [3] Tire Derived Fuel is an interim solution to the scrap tire waste problem.

    The Schrader valve is used on virtually all automobile tires and motorcycle tires and most wider-rimmed bicycle tires.In addition to tube and tubeless tires, Schrader valves of varying diameters are used on many refrigeration and air conditioning systems to allow servicing, including recharging with refrigerant; by plumbers conducting leak-down pressure tests on pipe installations; as a ...

    Changing a wheel on a Lockheed P-3 Orion aircraft Tires on the wheels of a bogie on a Boeing 777. An aircraft tire or tyre is designed to withstand extremely heavy loads for short durations. [1] The number of tires required for aircraft increases with the weight of the aircraft, as the weight of the airplane needs to be distributed more evenly.

  6. Inerting system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inerting_system

    After being fully filled, and during use, there is a space above the fuel, called the ullage, that contains evaporated fuel mixed with air, which contains the oxygen necessary for combustion. Under the right conditions this mixture can ignite. An inerting system replaces the air with a gas that cannot support combustion, such as nitrogen. [1] [2]

  7. Airless tire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airless_tire

    Airless tires, non-pneumatic tires (NPT), or flat-free tires are tires that are not supported by air pressure. [1] [2] [3] They can be used on small vehicles such as ride-on lawn mowers and motorized golf carts. They also are used on heavy equipment required to operate on sites where risk of tire punctures is high.
