In 1650, Guericke invented the first air pump. It could produce a partial vacuum and Guericke used it to study the phenomenon of vacuum and the role of air in combustion and respiration. The best known pneumatic device is of course the pneumatic tube. A pneumatic tube is a method of transporting objects using compressed air. In the past, pneumatic tube was often used in large office buildings to transport messages and objects from office to office. In 1829, the first stage or compound air compressor was patented. A compound air compresor comprases air in successive cylinders. The hand bellows used by early smelters and blacksmiths for working iron and metals was a simple type of air compressor and the first pneumatic tool.

Usually ordinary air is used in a pneumatic system.
John Dunlop invented the pneumatic tubes.
The pneumatic system controlled by electronic systems.
Pneumatic braking system utilizes compressed air to stop the motion in vehicles.
Sand blasting uses air pressure as an ejector within the blasting process. This is how the pneumatic system is used in a pneumatic sand or paint blaster.
both pneumatic & hydraulic systems are applications of fluid powers
human respiratory uses air pressure like pneumatic system does
Used in trucks and buses. This type of braking system of pneumatic and hydraulic hybrid vehicles.

Yes there is. Pneumatic valve springs. They are metal bellows that have air in them. Their use is in replacing metal wire springs in a high-speed combustion engine. An example would be formula one engines.
The Arthur Executive Chair has a good pneumatic system. I'd check that one out.
