Last months I had an increasingly problem with standing waste water of the toilets and sinks in my home. As vinegar, soda and suction plungers didn't help, I called a professional plumber.
He cleaned all sewer drain pipes from my house to the road.
No heavy clogging was found, but the problem stayed.
Now the plumber did inspect the inside of the drains with a long cable with light and a camera at the front.
Nothing spectacular was found. Only one place, where the bottom of the drain had standing water over it, was suspect because some cracks in the side wall.
After digging a hole of about 1 meter deep, the drain was located and also the cause of everything was detected.
A year earlier a fiber optic cable was installed (for internet, tv, telephone). From the road to my house this installation was not done by open trenching, but with an underground pneumatic missile.
This missile had cracked the underside of my head drain to the road and caused a hole of about 25 x 6 cm.
For more understanding see also the picture in the first comment !
Everything is fixed now - I can use my toilet again without nasty surprises ;-) - and with the photo's as proof, the costs were paid by the local community.
To make the smelly ;-) picture a bit more attractive, I used some photoshop tricks.
I am back in business :D

Quite a toughie, that letter Q! :)
Pneumatic (air) quick-connect fittings, allowing tools to be easily connected and disconnected.
The female end contains a valve to allow air flow only when a tool, such as the tire inflator or air nozzle shown here, is attached.
Seaboard Air Line GP7 1702 at Petersburg, Virginia on an unknown day in July 1963, 35mm transparancy by unknown photographer, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 1702 was built in May 1950 (c/n 11505) on EMD Order 6097 and later became SCL 882. It appears to be equipped with EMD electrical MU connections, but not with the typical pilot pneumatic connections, although there do appear to be hoses higher up by the MU plugs. I do not know how that worked.

NPRY class pneumatic discharge cement wagon. One of the first batch built by Comeng between 1978 and 1980, two more batches being built in 1981 and 1987. The first batch were built with 3-piece bogies and coded PRX, but around 1981 were fitted with "2CM" high speed bogies with 2 stage suspension, and recoded to NPRY under the then new, standardised national four-letter code system. The wagon's data panel is quite faded and the original code of PRX is not only showing through, but is more legible!

Manchester Ship Canal Railway Hudswell-Clark 0-6-0T 67, with ex-Lancashire and Yorkshire 0-4-0ST 51218, passing Sun Flour Mills (out of sight, on the right) during the Roch Valley Railway Society / L.C.G.B. 'Mode Wheel Railtour' in October 1967. Mode Wheel was the MSC loco depot. The three Heath-Robinson machines on the left are floating pneumatic grain elevators, used to transfer grain from ocean-going ships.
51218 had been withdrawn by BR in 1964, and preserved, and had hauled the first (unofficial..) train on the Keithley and Worth Valley Railway, in June 1965. MSC 67 was preserved in 1969, at the Middleton Railway in Leeds.
Today (2018) both locos are static exhibits - 51218 at Haworth, and 67 at Middleton. Almost everything in this photo (except the road, and the overbridge in the far distance...) has now vanished, and the area to the left is occupied by small industrial buildings, with trees and bushes..

The original LEGO Technic pneumatic cylinders were red and black, so I've wanted to incorporate them into an M-tron MOC for quite some time, and here it is!
The mechanical bits aren't just for show here, everything actually works! Turning a crank on the right side operates the pneumatic pump, and the black lever on the back controls whether the arm goes up or down. The magnet on the end of the arm is of course there to pick up cargo, but to disconnect cargo from the magnet, there's a pair of mechanical forks connected to a linear actuator operated by a gear knob on the side of the arm. Turning the knob to extend the linear actuator lowers the forks to push the cargo away from the magnet until it drops.
So, basically a Technic model dressed up as an M-tron rover :)
Vista en detall d'un obturador Bausch & Lomb Automat, del 1906. Es tract d'un obturador central del tipus pneumatic, perque tant el disparador com les velocitats lentes estan regulades per cilindres d'aire (els dos elements verticals a banda i banda de la lent). Posteriorment els obturadors es regularan per rellotgeria, i no per aire, guanyant en eficiencia tot allò que perdran en encant steam-punk. Finalment dir que, com el seu nom indica és un obturador automatic o "everset", en el que no cal "carregar" el mecanisme per a disparar-lo. Això en facilita l'ús però en limita la velocitat màxima.
La Kodak No.3 Folding Pocket és una càmera de rodet de gran format produida per Eastman Kodak entre 1900 i 1915. Emprava el format 118 i fou molt popular, amb gran varietat de sub-models. Aquesta en concret és un model F, equipada amb obturador Bausch & Lomb Automat i objectiu Goerz Doppel-Anastigmat Syntor f.6,8 de 120mm. Data del 1910, pel nº de serie 626xx-R.
Un detall interessant d'aquest model en concret, si no vaig errat, es que es tracta de l'única camara que apareix a bord del Titanic durant el seu únic i fatidic viatge. Es tracta de la fotografia de la familia Odell. El jove Jack Odell porta a les mans el que estic gairebé segur és una No.3 Folding Pocket (la forma corbada a la part superior del aparell el delata). Que aquesta fotografia sobrevivis al enfonsament del Titanic (i tota la familia Odell) s'explica pel fet que embarcaren a Southampton, però desembarcaren a Queenstown (actualment Cobh), Irlanda. Un darrer detall al respecte, va. El fet que porti una lent Goerz indica que aquesta Kodak fou feta als Estats Units, però venguda al Regne Unit. I sabeu d'on em va venir? de Southampton, port de sortida del Titanic!
=============================================
This gorgeous early XX Century leaf shutter is of the pneumatic type, with double cylinders to release the shutter and to control the slow speeds. Latter shutters had a clock mechanism for the slow speeds, making them much more accurate but also much more boring. This one is an automatic or everset shutter, because you don't need to cock it (like a gun) before release.
This is the Kodak No.3 Folding Pocket camera, made in Rochester NY from 1900 to 1915 with quite a lot of models. It was a very popular roll film camera, using the 118 format. This one is a model F, made in 1910 (serial nº 626xx-R). It has a Bausch & Lomb Automat leaf shutter and a Goerz Doppel-Anastigmat Syntor lens, f6.8 120mm. Only cameras selled in the UK mounted a Syntor lens.
I've found a quite interesting link between this camera and the Titanic. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think this is the only camera shown in a picture onboard the Titanic during it's only and dramatic voyage. It appears on the hands of a boy called Jack Odell, and the top-side curve it's the key to identify this camera. Why this picture (and even the Odell family) survived the Titanic? Because they boarded the ship in Southampton, BUT disembaked in Queenstown (now Cobh), Ireland. And even a more closed link. I bought this camera in eBay, to someone in Southampton. Just an "evil" coincidence, I presume...

I finally got a new camera which means I can uplaod again. My picture setup is different and I'm not yet used to it. Seems this one is a little blurry somehow.
This build dates back a little bit but I figured I'd post it anyway as I'm quite happy with the triangle treads of the tiny worker robots. I had been looking for a way to achieve this for a while.
Video of my next take on a practical, peumatic-driven Lego steam locomotive. The design is the "American" class 4-4-0 of the 1870ies.
The tender hides a capable pneumatic compressor that powers the 2 cylinder, long stroke 'steam' engine.

Introduced at the 1965 Frankfurt Motor Show, and was designed under the leadership of designer Paul Bracq, the W108 was an evolution of the highly successful W111 produced 1959-1971) that had helped establish higher sales and greater economy of scale for the Mercedes marque.
The most visable change was the departure of the earlier tail fins but the W108 also had a lower body waist line that increased the window area, (the windscreen was 17 percent larger than W111). The cars had a lower ride (a decrease by 60 mm) and wider doors (+15 mm). The result was a visibly new car with a more sleek appearance and an open and spacious interior. The suspension system featured a reinforced rear axle with hydro-pneumatic compensating spring. The car sat on larger wheels (14”) and had disc brakes on front and rear. The W109 was identical to the W108, but featured an extended wheelbase of 115 mm (4.5 in) and self-levelling air suspension.

Wikipedia: "The original livery was Nanking blue, with white window surrounds and the Pullman crest on the front and sides. From mid-1966 full wrap-around yellow ends were applied to the driving cars. From October 1967, the sets were repainted in a reverse corporate blue and grey livery . . . "
Wikipedia: "The sets had a maximum speed of 90 mph (140 km/h). The fixed couplings reduced much of the jerky movement experienced by conventionally buffered carriages and allowed smooth acceleration and stable running. The bogies had hydraulically damped helical springs and the axles were pneumatically braked in a two-stage system, allowing highly controlled stopping.
They were air-conditioned with automatic humidity control. Motor cars had a large primary diesel engine and generator for motive power, and a secondary Rolls-Royce C8NFLH diesel engine and auxiliary 150 kVA 3-phase 400 V generator beneath the floor provided power for the air-conditioning, fridges and ancillary equipment. A single auxiliary per set was normally sufficient. An onboard Travelling Maintenance Attendant monitored the supply of services."
Wikipedia: "Auf der Strecke von London Paddington nach Birmingham wurden Acht-Wagen-Züge mit Sitzen erster und zweiter Klasse eingesetzt. Sie traten auf diesen Strecken die Nachfolge älterer Garnituren aus Pullmanwagen an, die teils noch aus der Vorkriegszeit stammten.
Jeder der beiden stromlinienförmigen Triebköpfe besaß einen MAN-Zwölfzylinder-Dieselmotor mit einem GEC-Generator. Zwei Antriebsmotore saßen im hinteren Drehgestell des Triebkopfs und zwei auf dem führenden Drehgestell des nächsten Wagens. Später kamen alle Fahrzeuge in die Western-Region und fuhren auf der Strecke von London nach Bristol und von London nach Swansea vorzugsweise im Businessverkehr. Die Blue-Pullman-Dieseltriebwagen wurden bis 1973 eingesetzt."

Franz Bakery International 9200i daycab with pneumatic bulk tanker parked at their Spokane, WA bakery in July 2022.
Sent within Berlin on October 7, 1896. Postmark Schöneberg. Subject: the birthday of the recipient Bertha J. - I think her 55th. - living in Moabit. Densely described (according to the writer, many named people (both male and female) congratulated Bertha.)
The Hannoverschen Gummiwerke Excelsior company was founded in 1862 in Hannover, which manufactured rubber products and thus also entered the pneumatic tyre market. These tyres became known under the brand name Excelsior. However, the company would merge into Continental AG in 1928, although that did not immediately mean the end of the Excelsior brand name. Today, however, we know these tyres as Continental.

Four SD70MACs in the Heritage II paint scheme lead an empty coal train from Palos, AL off of Track 82 on the KCT North-South Corridor t Old Union Depot Interlocking as it heads for BNSF's Murray Yard across the Missouri River. Another SD70MAC, which was also in the Heritage II scheme, was the DPU for the train.
This entire train is equipped with ECP (electronically controlled pneumatic) brakes. In January of 2008, BNSF began operating its first ECP equipped coal train from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming to Plant Miller near Birmingham, AL. 300 JHMX cars were equipped with the technology from Wabtec, making two 135 car sets, and BNSF equipped 12 locomotives with the ECP technology. Only the SD70MACs were equipped to operate on ECP brake trains, hence why this train is only comprised of MACs.
It's pretty cool to see this many SD70MACs on one train since traffic levels, especially coal, are down and many of the MACs are in storage. 5/7/16.

Pneumatic tubes feed into purifiers in a now derelict flour mill. The purifiers sieved the larger bran from the finer powdered flour particles using compressed air during the earlier stages of the milling process. The bran could be later added back into the fine milled flour to create wholemeal flour.

On of the pressing problems in rail vehicle design in the 19th century, next to the brake problem, was the coupling problem. I designed a new, brick-built coupler suitalbe for automatic coupling and decoupling, to circumvent the drawbacks and dangers of the contemporary link-and-pin coupling.
Nice photo of the tiny shell used with the French 60 mm Brandt pneumatic mortar.
"A French pneumatic fired mortar bomb developed by the Brandt Company in 1915. This was an early attempt to develop a small portable launcher to launch mines and other projectiles during the early phases of the First World War. Although not very powerful, it was mobile and silent in operation. The launcher consisted of a tube 1.3 metres long which was linked to a system of tanks, pistons and a mobile breech weighing in total 22 kg. The propellant was compressed air that was supplied from bottles or from manual pumps."
