air compressors

Pneumatic power sources

Air compressors are machines that convert power into pressurized air by forcing air into a storage tank.

They power pneumatic tools like nail guns, spray painters, and impact wrenches, and inflate tires and sports equipment.

Industrial versions run jackhammers and factory machinery.

The mechanic hooked up the air compressor to fill the flat tire.
