Levegszivattyús

Levegszivattyús is a Hungarian term that translates to "air pump" or "air bladder" in English. It refers to a device that uses air pressure for mechanical purposes, often for inflation or the manipulation of flexible structures. Historically, these devices were employed in various applications, from rudimentary tools to more complex machinery.

In a simpler context, a levegszivattyús might describe a manual pump used to inflate objects like tires or balloons. These typically involve a cylinder, a piston, and a valve system to draw in and expel air. The user applies physical force to move the piston, creating the necessary pressure.

More sophisticated applications of the levegszivattyús concept can be found in pneumatic systems. These systems utilize compressed air to power actuators, control mechanisms, or support structures. For instance, in some historical agricultural machinery or early industrial equipment, levegszivattyús principles might have been integrated to create movement or apply force indirectly through air pressure. The underlying principle remains the same: harnessing the energy of compressed air to perform work. The term itself is not widely used in modern technical jargon, having been largely superseded by more specific English terms like "pneumatic actuator," "air compressor," or "inflatable structure," depending on the precise function.
