The tire is that branch of technology, which deals with the study and application of the use of pressurized air to affect the mechanical movement. "Pneumos" stands for "Air" and "Tics" means "Technology Pneumatics is using air to push or pull things or suck them. Pistons and tubes are light and powerful, lighter than equivalent engines, however, the compressor is In itself an engine and is heavy.The air compressor keeps the air storage tanks filled and the storage tanks provide the reserve air to quickly fill the actuators or pistons Storage tanks are at least twice the pressure of The actuators, so that a storage air tank will quickly fill an actuator of the same size, but after that the air compressor can not replenish the used air very quickly. It adds about half a cubic foot of air per minute, depending on the Pressure already in the system which is striving to put more air in. Less air is moved near full pressure (.24cfm) and more to zero pressure (.79cfm), so in a whole 2-minute party wait The air compressor adds ~ .8 cubic feet of air. Plan a test while observing the main high pressure gauge to see how low it is during what you expect to be a normal operation.
