They are gases, usually air.
Pneumatics have been used for thousands of years, ever since hunters used the blow-gun to take down their prey.
One similarity is that they both use fluids. Both gasses and liquids are fluids. the two are also compressible.
more than your life time
Pneumatics is the when you use compressed air to move a pistion, a pistion could be virtually many things. ---- It is just like a hydraulic system but instead of a fluid you use air as the working fluid.
My thoughts go like this...(from watching 'Scrapheap Challenge"0 plus a little basic knowledge of physics. 1/ Pneumatics involve the movement of pistons and what not via the medium of compressed air or air under pressure. 2/ Hydraulics involve the movement of pistons and what not via the medium of compressed fluids or fluid under pressure. 3/ Fluid is denser than gas (compressed air). I believe hydraulics can handle far heavier loads than pneumatics. Pneumatics would appear to use a lighter more flexible medium than hydraulics. In answer to your question, I believe hydraulics would be far more effective at manipulating heavy loads versus pneumatics. However, pneumatics would be a more flexible system than hydraulics. Hows that?
it isn't
Fluids are used in Hydraulics - fluids are essentially incompressible - they transmit forces well (e.g. a car bottle lack) Gases are used in pneumatics - gases are compressible - you can therefore store energy in a pneumatic system (e.g. a car tyre)

In an Automobile Pneumatics is used in tyres, breaks, suspension speed control and time delay

Gases used in pneumatics should be non-toxic, non-flammable, and environmentally friendly. They should also have low moisture content to prevent corrosion and be easily compressible to allow for energy-efficient operation of pneumatic systems. Additionally, gases used in pneumatics should have consistent properties to ensure reliable performance in various temperature and pressure conditions.
Pneumatics is the use of pressurized gas to affect mechanical motion.

Pneumatics are used in a variety of applications, including automotive systems (such as brakes and suspension), industrial machinery (such as pneumatic tools and actuators), and medical devices (such as respiratory machines). They are also commonly used in robotics for tasks like gripping and moving objects.
