===== 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.
