Air is compressed in two simple steps: Step 1: Air is trapped in a cylinder, tank, or similar container. Step 2: The space in that tank becomes smaller, which forces the air molecules closer together. The now-compressed air remains trapped in this smaller state, waiting to expand again until it''s ready for use.
