Pneumatics??

Ya.I'm the first to write something on this blog. Welcome everyone!!!
Today i came across one word which is 'Pneumatics'..
I have no idea at all about it until my Maintenance Manager conducted a briefing about it.
He is damn expert in it (Just got to know he had his Master Degree in Germany)
WOW...is he? What ever came out from his mouth is totally Machinery stuffs.
That sounds interesting to me since i am a purely food science student.

Let gives you guys a clear picture bout the word 'Pneumatics'

Pneumatics is the use of passurized gas to affect mechanical motion.

That is the basic definition about 'Pneumatics'. Basically it is a power used in industries by compressing air or inert gas to activate the machines. Those things probably easy for engineering students but to me, it is a new thing.

Here is the link if you guys wish to look in details of it:
