Here is the upgraded, interactive, and physics-driven pneumatic cylinder simulator web application. It retains the signature styling, typography, and responsive visual layout of the original module while replacing the fixed CSS keyframe loop with a dynamic fluid power physics engine, real-time pressure-flow mechanics, and live operational telemetry.

How It Operates
Pressurized air entering Port A exerts force over full cap surface area ($A_{cap}$).
Air in Port B exhausts to atmosphere as piston accelerates forward.
Due to rod volume, extension force is greater than retraction force ($F = P \cdot A$).
