pneumatic
Driven by air
Pneumatic describes things operated by or filled with compressed air or gas: a pneumatic drill, pneumatic tires.
The word connects air pressure to mechanical function—pneumatic systems power tools, brakes, and industrial equipment.
In older or literary usage, pneumatic could mean relating to breath or spirit, but the mechanical sense now dominates.
