You'll have to start with determining which kind of valve you've got. For the US there are basically two options:
- Schraeder valve, the same as on a car
- Presta valve, which is narrower.
Then find a pump with the appropriate nozzle. For Schraeder, just remove the cap and go at it. Particulary if you're filling from a compressor, don't exceed the max allowable pressure stated on the tire sidewall.
For Presta, remove the cap, undo the locknut, give the valve a push to break the seal. Then apply the nozzle and inflate the tube.
For Europeans there's the added option of the Dunlop valve, which can be inflated with the same type nozzle as the Presta, but there's no locknut that needs to be opened.

What are some examples of pneumatic devices?
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.
What is the definition of the original pneumatic air rifle?
pump-charged gun
What is a pneumatic pump?
Pneumatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a pressurized gas.Compressed air is commonly used for this purpose.Vehicle tires are inflated with compressed air or nitrogen.Placing a pressure gauge on the valve will read a number on the dial, say 28 or 32.Which means the pneumatic pressure exerted by the gas inside the tire is 28/32 psi.
How does a pneumatic ratchet wrench work?

What is a pneumatic leverage?
It is a pity you cannot have drawings in the answers.To understand pneumatic leverage, imagine you have two bicycle pumps to pump up the tires of your bicycle. One has a piston with a surface area of 4cm2 (square centimeters) and the other has a piston with a surface area of 8cm2. You connect them together. This means that if you pump one you will see the piston moving of the other.When you push the piston of the small pump with a force of let's say 100 Newton (roughly 22 lbs) and block the piston of the big pump: With what force you have to block the piston of the big pump?You push with a force of 100 Newton (about 22 lbs for the Americans) on the small piston, which will result in a pressure in the system of 100 Newton divided by 4cm2 or 25 Newton per cm2 (pressure). This pressure will be equal under the piston of the connected big pump. So what is the force necessary to block the piston of the big pump? The piston of the big pump has a surface area of 8cm2 this we multiply that with the pressure of 25 Newton/cm2 which results in the force needed to block the big pump of 200 Newton.By applying 100 Newton of force you can, through pneumatic leverage, create a force of 200 Newton.The leverage depends on the differences of surface area of the two pistons.This is the principle of pneumatic leverage. To understand this you have to distinguish between Force and Pressure.Force is expressed in Newtonor Lbs or Kgetc.Pressure is expressed in: Force per surface unit. Like Newton/cm2 or lbs/square inch or Kg per m2.
What is a pneumatic machine?
a pneumatic machine is a machine that uses gas usually air, to transmit a force and do workexamples: a pump for a bicycle, and a drill
How do you convert mechanical energy into pneumatic energy?
Example: A bicycle tire pump uses mechanical energy (your body) and converts it into pneumatic energy (air out of the hose).
How do Pneumatic Machines work?
Pneumatic machines are machines powered by compressed air. Air is compressed by a pump called a compressor, and the pressure is released as it does work, pushing on the pneumatic motors or pistons.
Is a bike pump hydraulic or pneumatic?
Pneumatic. Pneu = Air. Hydra = liquid

How do you pump a football?
You can pump it with a bicycle pump with the needle.
What improvement did John Dunlop bring to the Bicycle in 1888?
The air filled(pneumatic) tire.
Is a piston pump hydraulic or pneumatic?
both, if it pumps liquid then it's hydraulic, if it pumps gas it is pneumatic
What is a pneumatic bike pump?
it is a bike operated by air
What invention is still around today and was made in the industrial revolution?

What is a bicycle pump?
A Bicycle Pump is used to pump the tyres on Bikes it is normally a simple hand operated device which pushes air through a tube atached to a nozel which is screwed to the Valve on a Bicycle inatube the air is then forced into the Bicycle Tire.
