The Breath of Mother Nature:

The Power of the Air

Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. Every breath you take is gift from the earth. Whether it’s fresh, pure, crisp and clean, or polluted, toxic, tainted, and thick with heat and smoke, air is something you need to survive.

Not only does air have the power to oxygenate the blood, it also has many other powers that we utilize daily, and a few we have barely scratched the surface in learning.

The air can fan a fire, it can put out a fire, it can settle an anxious baby, and it can power a machine after being forced through an air oil separator.

Literal Air Power

Long before electricity played such a big part in our civilization, things were powered using animals, water, and air.

The plough was pulled with oxen or a pack animal, the water from a rushing river would run the mill, and the only source of international trade transport, ships, were powered using the wind.

There are things today that are literally air powered.

The kite, the sail boat (though most of these are fitted with a motor for the just in case), the windmill (mostly for show), and wind turbines (we’ll speak about these more in the next section).

You can also enjoy many recreational entertainments that are air powered; hot air ballooning, para-sailing, parachuting, and hang gliding are all air powered or air assisted.

Clean Energy

With the billions of people around the world that consume energy, the need for more energy output is growing exponentially. Unfortunately, the old ways of producing energy can pollute by producing toxic greenhouse gases.

A newer form of energy capture is wind energy.

Giant wind turbines and built along ridges, on hill tops, and in windy places.

The wind that rushes past these turbines turns the turbines, which turns a motor, which stores the energy that is produced.

The air can literally power thousands of homes.

CLEANING SUPPLY

Cleaning your home or workspace can be challenging when the job just seems too big.

One of the messiest hobbies requires the use of air to clean their workspace.

Woodworking leaves behind sawdust which can get into everything, and clutter up a workbench and lathe bench quickly.

Using an air compressor and the appropriate air compressor parts, you can blow away the sawdust and other dirt that can accumulate.

An air compressor is a very good tool because it works using the air in the room, compressing it and shooting it out at high speeds.

Since the air is so precious a commodity, you need to do what you can to keep it clean by cleaning or replacing the air oil separator in the air compressor, and making sure that the compressor has all the right air compressor parts.

The air is abundant, refreshing, required for life, and one of the most powerful forces on the planet.

Taking it for granted is a mistake, and being careless with it can be costly.

The air, the wind, each breath you take is precious.

It’s rare to find something that is so powerful that can also be so gentle and so useful.
