Electropneumatically

/ɪˌlɛktrənutˈmætɪkli/ adverb

Etymology

Kelly Says

When engineers describe a system as working 'electropneumatically,' they're saying it's a clever combination—electricity controls pneumatic power, which is like using your brain (electricity/neural signals) to control your breathing (pneumatic/air pressure).
