Description This is a class interactive experiment. A small hand pump is used to pull the air out of a jar that has a sealable top. The jar cannot be opened without tremendous force at this point.

Tips
  • Set up is limited to how long it takes to pump the air out of the jar.
  • Make sure to press down hard enough on the valve when evacuating the cylinder to make a good seal.
  • Can be interactive. Uses 2 people to try to pull the jar open with ropes.
  • A very good demonstration of how strong air pressure really is.
