compressed air

Pressurized gas canister

Compressed air is air that has been pressurized and stored, typically in tanks or cylinders.

It powers pneumatic tools, fills tires, and operates machinery in factories.

Canned compressed air—actually pressurized gas—cleans dust from keyboards and electronics: I used compressed air to clean out my computer.
