Interpretation of a sign for hybrid vehicle parking from a ten minute exercise in Product Design
Figures from my first Project Laboratory report displaying the behavior of a cylinder falling in a nuclear reactor transfer line. The line has a reduced-diameter snubbing section at the end to slow the fall of the cylinder, preventing damage to the reactor in case the cylinder is dropped.

Compressed air trapped in the snubbing section behaves as a spring as the cylinder enters the snubber
