If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

[edit]Nitrogen is a common gas in gas springs because it is inert and nonflammable. [1] (Cite given)
Article body
[edit]-In the ideal case of a piston moving with zero friction through a fully sealed cylinder, there are two key phenomena which can be thought of as acting simultaneously inside the spring as it is compressed.[2] (Cite given)
-Second, the bottom of the piston always experiences a greater force opposite to the compressing action than the top. According to Sir Isaac Newton's third law of motion. [3] (Cite given)
(Deleting this) Again, this would be the case even if there was no piston attached.[citation needed]
-but instead partially separates the cylinder into two volumes with restricted flow of gas and oil [4] between them, through flow-restriction channels in either the piston or the cylinder wall. (Cite given)
-According to Hooke's Law, If the internal plunger features a diaphragm that extends to the side of the gas tube, it will stop moving once the applied force becomes constant and will support a weight, like a normal spring.[5] (Giving citation to Hooke's Law)
-Some gas springs have fine holes in the plunger for additional damping:[how?] [6] (Cite given to the elaboration)
-A gas spring designed for fast operation(s) is termed a "quick gas spring" and is used in the manufacture of
air guns and recoil buffers. [7] (Cite given)
-A small amount of oil is normally present. [8] (Cite given)
-similar to those used in airbags. [9] (Cite given)
A gas spring can be given adjustable push-in force via a local knob or remote via a Bowden wire. [10] (Cite given)
The intention is that the design can be over-sprung, and then the pressure is reduced in stages to optimize behavior. If too much gas is released, a new spring must be installed. [11] (Cite given)
Consequences
[edit]Poor Manufacturing
[edit]As consumers, they are used in office chairs, truck tailgates, and wheelchairs, just to name a few. A rare concern with gas springs is that if it is made cheaply, using oxygen as its internal gas, the oxygen will combust given enough force. This is because oxygen is a combustible gas [12] while nitrogen is not. [13]
