 ===== Description =====
-Can be used to show air as a shock absorber, similar to a pneumatic table.
 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.
