The Breath of Mother Nature: The Power of the Air

1
The Breath of Mother Nature The Power of the Air
2

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

3

• 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.

5

• 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
  (well speak about these more in the next
  section).

6

• 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.

8

• A newer form of energy capture is wind energy.
• Giant wind turbines and built along ridges, on
  hill tops, and in windy places.

9

• 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.

11

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

12

• 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.

13

• 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.

14

• 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.

15

• The air, the wind, each breath you take is
  precious.
• Its rare to find something that is so powerful
  that can also be so gentle and so useful.
