🧪 Kinetic Gas in a Piston: Boyle, Charles, Gay-Lussac and Adiabatic Heating from Wall Impacts

Squeeze, heat and expand a gas of simulated molecules and watch pressure appear as the push of individual wall impacts. Compare the measured pressure with P V = n R T, Boyle, Gay-Lussac and adiabatic compression.

Squeeze, heat and expand a gas of simulated molecules and watch pressure appear as the push of individual wall impacts on a piston. Compare the measured pressure with P V = n R T, Boyle's law, Gay-Lussac's law and adiabatic compression, with a live P-V diagram and Maxwell-Boltzmann speed histogram.
