===== Description =====

This is a small device made of four syringes and a plate on top. 

===== Purpose =====

Can be used to illustrate how the force required to compress a gas varies with pressure. Shows how air can be used as a shock absorber, similar to a pneumatic table.

If not all of the syringes are pressed down at once, shows the action of pneumatic pistons.

===== Apparatus =====

  * Air Compression Shock Absorber
  * Delrin block

===== Setup =====

The block (pictured) is set on top of the syringes. Pressing down on the syringes gets harder as the block goes further down.

===== Notes =====

The plate will only sit on the syringes with one orientation, otherwise the holes don't line up.
