  1. Take an aluminium tube about \(15\ cm\) long and \(1\) to \(1.5\ cm\) in diameter.
  2. Cut slice of a medium-sized potato about \(2\ cm\) thick.
  3. Insert the tube in the slice, press it, and rotate it \(2–3\) times.
  4. Remove the tube.
  5. You will find a piece of potato fixed in the tube like a piston head.
  6. Repeat the same process with the other end of the tube.
  7. Now you have the tube with both ends closed by potato pieces with an air column in between.
  8. Take a pencil with one end unsharpened.
  9. Place this end at one of the pieces of potato.
  10. Press it suddenly to push the potato piece in the tube.
