Caption
Kurosawa developed a two-stage light gas gun connected to a chamber that allows researchers to analyze the gases produced by the impact into a sample without being contaminated by the gases produced by the gun shot itself. He and his team used this device to measure what gases are produced by impacts on samples that mimicked meteorites with and without carbon.
