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. 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.

4. 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.

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. Air-line fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-line_fitting

   One side is connected to a flexible supply hose; the other may be attached to a manifold, valve, tool, or another hose. A female coupler is used on the supply side, and a male nipple is used on the receiving side. Fitting profiles have identifiable geometry on the male end, but care must be taken to use a compatible coupler.

7. Air line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_line

   An air line is a tube, or hose, that contains and carries a compressed air supply. In industrial usage, this may be used to inflate car or bicycle tyres or power tools worked by compressed air, for breathing apparatus in hazardous environments and to operate many other pneumatic systems.
