Description:

Diagram of experimental setup showing syringe with sealed tip held vertically in pre-drilled wood block support. The thin wire between the plunger tip and the inner syringe wall allows air to escape from in front of the plunger in order to equalize pressure. It is removed before starting the experiment. The second pre-drilled wood block is placed atop the syringe plunger and acts as a shelf for bricks to increase the pressure on the plunger.
