pneumatics
Air pressure engineering
Pneumatics is the branch of physics dealing with the mechanical properties of gases, especially air under pressure.
More practically, it refers to systems that use compressed air to transmit power and do work: pneumatic drills, pneumatic brakes, pneumatic tubes.
Pneumatic technology powers everything from jackhammers to the capsule systems that once carried messages through buildings.
