------------------Pneumatics comes from the Greek word pneuma, which means 'breath or wind'. It is basically the use
of under pressure gas that helps in performing a certain work in science and technology. Pneumatics is the
transmission and control of forces and movements by means of compressed air. (The use of compressed air as a
medium to do work). Fluid power is the energy transmitted and controlled by means of a pressurized fluid, either
liquid or gas. The term fluid power applies to both hydraulics and pneumatics. Hydraulics (oil or water) use liquids
under pressure while pneumatics uses compressed air or other neutral gases.
