The pictures third and fourth from the bottom (the glass tubes with the--
bulbs on the end) demonstrate a water hammer.
Water is added to the tube and a vacuum is pulled and the tube sealed.
Holding the bulb end up, you sharply shake the tube downwards. The water
will fall as a solid mass (instead of splitting up due to air) and make a
distinctive clink against the bottom of the tube.
