looks like the mini-size Mr. Fusion . . .

Wow, it's been a LONG time since I've seen one of those things--so long I can't remember what it was called. A number of the parts houses (Electrodyne, Automotion, etc.) used to sell these back in the 1970s. A buddy had one on his E-prod 356 race car. One end was supposed to have a high pressure nitrogen charge in a sealed chamber (similar to a bilstein shock) and was supposed to "even out the braking" . . .

Like I said, it was a long time ago.
