An electronic air pump pressurizes object in either manual or automatic mode. In automatic mode, the electronic air pump determines air pressure needed to adjust an object to a set target pressure. The electronic air pump inflates or deflates the ball automatically until the air pressure inside the ball matches the preset value. In manual mode regulation of the air pressure is adjusted by a user.

A monitoring system may include at least a strain gauge and a computing device for determining a bulk modulus of a fluid system of a pressure pump using strain measurements. The strain gauge may determine strain in a chamber of the pressure pump. The computing device may receive a strain signal generated by the strain gauge and may correlate the strain signal to pressure to determine a change in pressure during a period in which fluid is isolated in the chamber. The computing device may use the change in pressure during this period to determine a bulk modulus of the fluid system.

There is provided a method of transporting fluid produced from a fluid source having a source pressure to a fluid destination having a destination pressure rating. The method has the steps of determining a compressor power requirement based on the destination pressure rating and an estimated rate of flow. A compressor having a power rating that is less than the determined compressor power requirement is provided. An input of the compressor is connected to the fluid source and connecting an output of the compressor to the fluid destination. The compressor is operated in a high volume mode for a first portion of a compression stroke path and in a low volume move for a remainder of the compression stroke path such that the compressor simulates the output from a compressor with higher power rating.
