a: piston ~
b: a giant tennis racket
What:
"Microscopically speaking, compressing a gas must involve a surface, let's say a piston, charging into the gas. During this process, the piston is like a giant tennis racket smashing back all the trillions of tennis balls, i.e. the gas molecules, that happen to collide into it."
