Podcasts about pneumatic

This week on the Oakley Podcast, Jeremy Kellett sits with Michael and Leslie Hopper, a husband-and-wife team at Oakley Trucking, to share their late-career transition into trucking and eventual success as owner-operators. They walk through Michael's move from multi-unit management and daycare operations and Leslie's 31-year restaurant career into trucking in their late 40s, starting with carriers like Werner, Tyson, U.S. Xpress, and FedEx Custom Critical before buying their own trucks and ultimately landing at Oakley. The Hoppers explain how teaming works day vs. night, how they became a top revenue truck pulling an end dump, why they're now moving to pneumatics for longer miles and higher pay, and how trucking allowed them to buy a home, build retirement, and support a large blended family. Their key message: it's never too late to reinvent yourself, owner-operator trucking can be a powerful path to financial freedom, and companies like Oakley can make the leap from company driver to business owner much more achievable. Key topics in today's conversation include: Welcoming the Hoppers to the Show (0:42) Leslie's Restaurant Career and First Talk of Trucking (6:09) Michael's Corporate and Daycare Management Background (9:17) How They Met, First Date, and Long-Distance Relationship (13:18) Convincing Leslie to Change Careers and Go to Truck School (16:44) Training Together at U.S. Xpress and Becoming a Team (18:23) Why Teaming Works for Them, Day vs Night Driving, and Resets (23:44) Taking the Leap to Owner Operator and Early Panic With No Loads (26:35) Running FedEx Custom Critical and Department of Defense Freight (29:59) Leaving FedEx, Short Hazmat Stop, and Choosing Oakley (33:17) Deadheading, Emergency Loads, and Being a Top Revenue Truck (36:27) Leslie's Social Media, Oakley Community, and Dump Video Followers (41:01) Buying Their House on Five Acres And Building Late-Life Retirement (44:02) Moving From End Dump to Pneumatic and Chasing Higher Rates (47:32) Why It's Not Too Late to Start Trucking at 50 and Thrive (52:39) Oakley Trucking is a family-owned and operated trucking company headquartered in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

Breathing Space: The Architecture of Pneumatic Beings (Zone Books, 2026) is a compelling and wide-ranging analysis of pneumatic phenomena in modern culture. Architect and historian Dr. Tim Altenhof brilliantly explores the physiology of breathing and its reciprocal relationship to bodies and buildings, both of which share a common atmosphere. Because breathing is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and cannot be willfully overridden, it takes place unconsciously and involuntarily—most of the time. However, beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, attitudes toward breathing changed significantly. Breathing became a widely investigated cultural and physiological phenomenon and was the basis for techniques and bodily practices that heightened pulmonary awareness. New understandings of air pollution and disease stimulated a widespread preoccupation with ventilation, impacting architecture in countless ways. Dr. Altenhof's close readings of built structures show how the science of breathing was incorporated into architecture, whether in the design of factories, residences, or medical facilities. The lungs form a major part of the respiratory system and like no other organ tie the living body directly to its surroundings. Yet the role of lungs also poses a topological problem: engaging in atmospheric transfer, they dissolve the division between inside and outside, and despite being an internal organ, they sustain a permanent and living connection to the external world. This ambiguity and permeability constitute the spatial dimension of breathing. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Today we're joined by Tim Altenhof, a Berlin-based architect, teacher, and author, currently serving as a senior scientist in architec­tural theory at the University of Innsbruck. He is the author of Breathing Space: The Architecture of Pneumatic Beings (New York: Zone Books, 2026), which we explore together in this episode.

The Beach Pneumatic Transit consisted of a 312-foot tunnel beneath Broadway, between Warren Street and Murray Street, through which a single, cylindrical passenger car was propelled back and forth by a large fan housed in a nearby ...

Long before fiber optics and wireless networks, bursts of compressed air kept Wall Street moving. NYSE curator Dave D'Onofrio goes Inside the ICE House with archivist Anna Melo and urban historian Michelle Young to uncover the Exchange's little‑known pneumatic tube system—an engineering marvel that powered communication for decades. They trace how these whooshing cylinders carried orders, quotes, and messages through a sprawling underground network that linked traders, clerks, and floors in real time.

Ever heard of pneumatic tube transport? It's this crazy system that was like the OG version of instant messaging, but with actual physical objects. Back in the 19th and 20th centuries, people were sending all sorts of things through these tubes – from mail to cats! Yeah, you heard me right, someone actually sent a cat through the tube in 1897. Then there's the prairie dog vacuum from 1996 – talk about bizarre! And hold onto your hats for the Whooshh system, complete with a fish cannon to help salmon get over dams.

Alfred Beach built America’s first operational subway in secret beneath 1860s Manhattan, decades before the city’s official electric subway line in 1904. He designed and commissioned a 300-foot-long, eight-foot-diameter tunnel 20 feet underground, built with a tunneling machine he invented for this purpose. The car moved quietly and silently, pushed by a 50-ton, steam-powered fan nicknamed "the Western Tornado," which pushed and pulled the single subway car through its sealed tube. Beach envisioned a clean, quiet pneumatic railway that would shoot passengers up and down Broadway, revolutionizing urban transit. The entire city would enjoy this steampunk system of transportation. He was the right man for the job. As the editor of Scientific American magazine and the head of the nation’s leading patent agency, Beach was intimately connected with many of the nineteenth century’s most important inventors and inventions. When Thomas Edison invented the phonograph, the first person he showed it to was Alfred Beach. But his dream was derailed by powerful political enemies, most notably Boss Tweed and the corrupt machine of Tammany Hall. Dreams of the project died after an economic crash in 1873. Today’s guest is Matthew Algeo, author of New York’s Secret Subway: The Underground Genius of Alfred Beach and the Origins of Mass Transit. We look at a pivotal moment in the origin story of mass transportation in America, and themes that resonate strongly today: infrastructure gridlock, public-private conflict, and the long-standing resistance to bold transit reform.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 Pneumatic drilling from building sites.  The dull roar of planes overhead.  Your fellow worker's phone conversations in an otherwise silent office.  The suburban drone of lawn mowers and blowers.  Noise seems to be everywhere, and it can disrupt our sleep, ratchet up our stress, destroy our concentration–yet it's a problem we shrug off once the … Read More Read More

In this message, Darryl shows us that trying to live the Christian life in our own strength is like swinging a hammer at solid rock—it's exhausting and it doesn't get you very far. But when we plug into the Holy Spirit, the pneuma of God, it's like picking up a pneumatic drill—suddenly there's power to break through what once felt impossible. This is a call to stop striving, start plugging in, and let God's Spirit bring freedom, joy, and real change from the inside out.For up-to-date info, follow our socials: https://www.instagram.com/freedomchurchbenoni/https://www.facebook.com/FreedomChurchBenoniMore episodes on all podcast platforms and our YouTube channel:Follow the link below, or search "freedom church Benoni" on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, or YouTube Music! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomchurchbenoni/podcasts #freedomchurchbenoni #sundayfunday

Today in Overdrive Radio, walk through Kevin Bruns' purchase of a 2019 Cummins-powered International LoneStar after several years of local dump truck ownership and work around quarries and construction sites in the Nashville, Tennessee, region. That followed early experience with authority hauling cars a couple decades back, based outside Chicago where Bruns is from originally, then pneumatic tanker work as a company driver, all of it in prep for where the owner-operator is today, married with two young children and back out on his own with authority as Bruns Trucking: https://overdriveonline.com/15749776 He restarted that authority a year and a half back, and with authority-age requirements so many brokers have today, up until recently he's hauled power only with dry vans for several large outfits, now testing the waters with a step deck trailer fairly recently purchased, where he's seeing good rates with the trailer in service for just a couple of months. The owner-op's making plenty time for outside pursuits, too. One of the reasons we came together last week was his then-impending competition in this past weekend's Semi Stampede uphill truck drag race competition at Kunle Motorsports Park due south of Cleveland: https://overdriveonline.com/15748980 Bruns attended with his big-truck-fan son last year, and this year was planning to compete in the stock class, bobtail. "I don't need to throw my driveshaft out," he quipped. Indeed, and you can find a video from his competition here: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DXAzYJ5qF/ (Unfortunately, the LoneStar got outrun in that one by a Pete, but I'm certain the experience was nonetheless one to remember.) Listen on for Bruns' trucking career in miniature, and his efforts to build the network in and around Gallatin, Tennessee, these past years for maintenance, for freight and for life and music, too. It's Nashville, after all, where he's now headquartered.

We get lots of questions from our patients and our listeners each week. And they're great questions, so rather than responding individually we thought we'd do these mini episodes where highlight some of the best questions and our responses. So, let's get started! Today's Ask The Sports Docs is going to focus on one specific question that we get asked a lot from patients, and review a recent article that came out about this topic.We both use cryotherapy and cryo-compression therapy postoperatively after our knee and shoulder surgeries.  Many of these devices are unfortunately not covered by insurance, and therefore require patients to pay out-of-pocket.  A question we get asked all the time from our surgical patients is: “Is this worth it?” Basically, do cryo-compression devices offer a significant benefit compared to a bag of peas? Is the cost worth it?

Journey through the evolution of HVAC controls, examining how technological advancements have transformed system efficiency and functionality. This segment, part of the 2023 December PDH Marathon, HVAC Controls 101 Presentation by Chris Adams, PE, and Kirk Patton, covers historical shifts from simple mechanical systems to sophisticated, sensor-driven configurations that enhance predictive maintenance and energy conservation.

0-20: Chet Paulsen introduction and talking about the birth of Rockcuffs, understanding Blood Flow Restriction, design of BFR cuffs. Design problems are the main cause for safety issues. Truly dissecting research and understanding improper or misrepresented studies. Hormonal response to BFR, endocrine response, cause for DOMS. Using BFR for pain reduction for up to 24 hours afterwards.20-30: BFR reduces pain, improves strength and muscle size, improve adherence to use, uses for recovery. Ability to improve Vo2 Max levels. Importance of using BFR on both limbs.30-40: Targeting both sides with BFR as both limbs become affected after an injury/surgery. Average person does not know their 1 Rep max, can use BFR with minimal exercises with process of tightening and loosening to have benefits. BFR can have benefits during passive range of mobilization and joint mobilizations. BFR is not just mechanical it is endocrine, metabolic hack. Hormonal release is systemic, hypothalamus will put hormones in motion. Cells become more permeable to IGF Insulin growth factor. M Torque 1 is where it makes transition from blood stream to the muscle. BFR can have benefits for slowing diseases like Parkinson's due to angiogenesis process. Importance of using BFR post injury.40-50: Contraindications to using BFR. Safety and injury issues with BFR come from high pressure. Pressure changes when exercising, Arterial Occlusion pressure changes on muscle based on position of muscle and also from rest to exercises as blood flow increases. Venous pressure is 1/10th of arterial, veins are more compliant as they have a smaller muscle around them, hold 70% of blood volume. Venous occlusion happens between 20-70mm of pressure. Rock cuffs are rigid and equal efficiency pressure of 2 inches. Pneumatic cuffs tend to bubble and limited adequate pressure, too much pressure in the middle. Most pneumatic cuffs are shiny object tools. Understanding cuff size and efficient pressure to limb size.50-60: Pressure doubles under cuff during exercise, more pressure is not better. Time it takes for set up and ease of putting on cuffs being a factor. Understanding measuring venous pressure, difference between lean individuals and bigger individuals and use of pressure on cuff. Reinforcing again that the pressure in the cuff when the muscle is relaxed changes when the muscle is contracted. 30-15-15-15 with the rest breaks is the aerobic capacity of the muscle. The middle part of the last set, fatigue should occur. Reps should be consistent without a pause, pause means fatigue is setting in and too much pressure. Don't need fancy equipment to tell you how tight a cuff needs to be.60-70: Understanding proper placement and use of Rockcuffs, adjusting pressure, dosage of exercise. Arterial flow is never full occluded, do not need to fully occlude arterial flow. 18-20 minutes is max time of being occluded. Feedback and observation are best clues to understanding occlusion and fatigue levels. Lactate levels above normal for 10 minutes 3x week, hypothalamus will start it's process. BFR has to be consistent and used as a supplement to exercise not just one set of exercise or one time use during a week.70-80: BFR is a partnering with body system response not a punishment or trick system like most training programs. Calorie consumption is important for during use of BFR. Central aminos, hydration are key for building blocks IGF, and M Torque 1 process. Protein synthesis will be optimized with BFR, hydration and central aminos. Avoid caffeine for 90 minutes beforehand using BFR routine, Have caffeine after because it is a vasoconstrictor. Following BFR want vasodilation response after Un occluding. BFR allows to do exercise with less weight and less injury due to lower resistance and focus on form and technique. Understanding 30-15-15-15 and 30-30-30 regimens. Want to keep pressure low and regimens prescribed the proper way to ensure adherence and reduce DOMS. And more…

The management of pain after shoulder surgery typically includes the use of cryotherapy and the prescription of opioid analgesics. Much focus has been placed lately on the opioid epidemic, which in part is fueled by excessive prescription of opioid medication. Previous studies have found a combination of cryotherapy and compression effective at reducing analgesic consumption and increasing recovery in patients undergoing knee and spine surgery; however, efficacy in patients undergoing shoulder surgery has not been evaluated.   In conclusion, in patients undergoing unilateral shoulder surgery, the use of cryotherapy with pneumatic compression, when compared with standard care, resulted in significantly decreased opioid consumption as well as increased function at 2 weeks.   Click here to read the article.

Evolutionists believe that birds are dinosaurs. We disagree. Why aren't birds dinosaurs? What are three ways to distinguish a bird from a dinosaur? For one, their unique hip socket. Two, their tail. And three, their respiratory system; rigid lung, Air sacs (pumps) with uni-directional air flow, Pneumatic bones, 'internal' thigh. Birds have a unique body plan that is very different from what we see in dinosaurs and reptiles. It does not make biological sense to group these creatures togethers. Birds are not dinosaurs.

What did you think? We'd love to hear your thoughts.In this episode Brenton and Jenna had a chance to sit down at the office with Pneumatic Division driver Roy Wallace. Roy has been an Owner-Operator partner with Autumn Transport for 8 years, and has successfully participated in our Lease Purchase Ownership Program not once, but twice, paying off two trucks in eight years! Our discussion with Roy includes his story of losing his father due to diabetes, and how that became the motivation to becoming aware of his own diabetes, and the dangers he faced if he didn't make some drastic lifestyle changes. When Roy started his journey to better health, he weighed 300 lbs, and in four months after losing his dad, he lost 100 lbs! He has since stared a Facebook group called "Type 2 For the Long Haul", where he shares health articles, food recipes and supports other drivers who are living with diabetes. Roy has made health a passion and loves to share his journey with drivers he meets. You can follow along with Roy at @royvwallace on Instagram, or join his Facebook group.

Dave returns after a few weeks on holiday to chat with Chris about robots, maker companies merging, hyped up tech at CES (and beyond), trains, power grids...and more!

What did you think? We'd love to hear your thoughts.In this episode Brenton and Jenna talk with Chris Thomas, an owner operator partner in the Pneumatic division. Chris is on fire in the trucking social media world right now and has been a guest on several recent trucking podcasts. We love Chris's mantra - "Freight friends are great friends."

This episode features an interview with Canon Reeves, CTO and co-founder of Pipedream Labs, a company revolutionizing hyperlogistics. They are building underground delivery robots that can send and receive items in single-digit minutes to a person's home. Pipedream Labs is focused on the last mile of delivery, where traditional delivery methods struggle. Their system is ideal for small-scale deliveries and can eventually be integrated into new build communities or apartment complexes. The company has announced partnerships with Wendy's and the city of Atlanta to pilot their revolutionary technology. We discuss the future of autonomous delivery, designing complex "many-to-many" networks, landing your first pilot programs, maintaining focus and managing investor expectations when working on long time horizons, and many more fascinating topics. I loved this conversation not just for the Jetsons-esque nature of the technology, but because I find it super inspiring to hear from ambitious founders tackling enormously difficult problems. So, tune in and enjoy this episode. Chapters: (01:45) What is Pipedream?

We continued our study of the Holy Spirit. We took a moment to unpack the definition of the word Spirit and how it directly relates to our existence and the creative power that follows the Spirit of God wherever it goes.The Old Testament was almost entirely written in Hebrew. Some parts in Aramaic.Hebrew word for Spirit - Ruach: breath, wind, spirit.Hebrew word for Sacred/Holy - KodeshThe New Testament was written in Greek, which was the common language at the time.Greek word for Spirit - PneumaThis is where we get our English words - Pneumatic, pneumonia.In Genesis 1:2 we read that the Spirit hovered over the waters and this was the precursor to all of creation being created. In the Gospels we read how the Spirit overshadowed Mary and life was created in her and in time she gave birth to Jesus. Pastor Eric emphasized one of the beautiful dynamics of the Spirit is wherever the Spirit is, life is created. It is because of the Spirit we become a new creation. As we journey through this study as a community we want to encourage each of us to take some time out of our lives to continue to express your personal desire for a relationship with the Holy Spirit. Let's be a people who welcome the Spirit of God in our lives.For more info you can go to our website and also check us out on instagram and Facebook. We are also on YouTube.

Kari Love joined us to talk about soft robotics, robots in religion, and squishiness. Kari co-authored Soft Robotics: A DIY Introduction to Squishy, Stretchy, and Flexible Robots. Her website is karimakes.com. She was previously on Embedded 189: The Squishiness Factor One of the pneumatic drives that we mentioned was a Hackaday Prize Winner: FlowIO. Another was the Soft Robotics Toolkit. However, Kari recommended Amitabh Shrivastava's Programmable Air (Crowd Supply page for Programmable Air). Some search terms for getting started with soft robotics: “DIY Jamming gripper”,  “Positive pressure gripper”, and “bendy straw robot joints”. (That last one leads you to the delightful video Make a Robotic Hand with Straws.) Polysense conductive dye for making sensors out of found objects. (On Hackaday.) Simulation of Soft Bodies in Real World Applications (for squish and stretch) include SOFA, Abaqus, and DiffPD. Transcript An incomplete list of power systems people have used for generating soft robotic motion: Pneumatic - air and vacuum Hydraulic - using liquid Electrical - using currents Thermal - using temperatures Cable control - using motor control Magnetic - using magnets Chemical - using reactions Photonic - using light Biological - using living cells Hybrid systems - multiple sources in tandem   An incomplete list of things people have used to make soft robots: Fabric Silicone or other rubbers Flexible plastic Plastic films Metallic films Paper Carbon fiber Silly Putty Shape-changing alloys Electroactive polymers Liquid metals Gelatin or Gluten Cell tissue
