What you just described is the hole theory for transistors. Just saying.

So this might sound ignorant, or repetitive, but the quantity of the charge is the volume of air, and the voltage is the pressure?
Can other electrical circuits be explained pneumatically better than they are hydraulically?
I'm a SCUBA technician, so I have a little bit of practical knowledge with compressed air.
thanks,
