I'm the engineer behind the pneumatic system in this machine.
I'm not about to explain how it works, but there are about 40 motors, and 500 feet of tubing that allow it to make hard scoop ice cream on the spot from the raw ingredients - takes about 40 seconds, and it's SO much better than soft serve.

My mother used to buy use these little paper cups of ice cream. They had a paper lid with a wooden spoon attached. Inside was half orange sherget and half vanilla ice cream.
