The primary function of a nail gun is to drive nails into wood or other materials using compressed air.

An air compressor works by converting electrical energy into potential energy stored in compressed air, which is then released as kinetic energy to power tools and devices.

The primary purpose of a pneumatic actuator is to convert compressed air into mechanical energy, typically used to operate valves, cylinders, and other devices.

An example of a pneumatic system used in everyday life is a pneumatic tire, which uses compressed air to inflate the tire and provide cushioning and support.

The primary function of a jackhammer is to break up concrete, asphalt, and other hard surfaces using a pneumatic hammering action, typically powered by an air compressor.
