A system for diffusing one or more volatile compounds includes a base and a pod tray, carried by the base. At least one pod is carried by the pod tray. The pod has a housing holding a volatile compound mass, the housing and mass being moveable relative to one another. An actuator is carried by the base, the actuator being operable to engage the pod and move the housing and the volatile compound mass relative to one another. The pod and the actuator are positionable relative to one another such that one or both of the pod and the actuator can be positioned proximate to one another to enable the actuator to engage the pod and move the housing and the volatile compound mass relative to one another.

1. A system for diffusing one or more volatile compounds included in a volatile compound mass, the system comprising: a base;a pod tray, carried by the base;at least one pod carried by the pod tray, the at least one pod having a housing holding a volatile compound mass, the volatile compound mass an
1. A system for diffusing one or more volatile compounds included in a volatile compound mass, the system comprising: a base;a pod tray, carried by the base;at least one pod carried by the pod tray, the at least one pod having a housing holding a volatile compound mass, the volatile compound mass and the housing being moveable relative to one another, whereby moving the housing and the volatile compound mass relative to one another causes a volatile compound to be diffused; andan actuator, carried by the base, the actuator operable to engage the at least one pod and move the housing and the volatile compound mass relative to one another;the at least one pod and the actuator being positionable relative to one another such that one or both of the at least one pod and the actuator can be positioned proximate to one another to enable the actuator to engage the at least one pod and move the housing of the at least one pod and the volatile compound mass relative to one another to thereby diffuse the volatile compound, wherein the actuator includes a sloped ramp along which an actuating surface associated with the at least one pod tracks while the at least one pod and the actuator move relative to one another and a spindle, slidably received within the housing, the spindle including a base and a cap, the volatile compound mass carried between the base and the cap. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one pod tray is moveable relative to the base, and wherein the actuator is stationary relative to the base. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the at least one pod tray is rotatably moveable relative to the actuator. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the actuating surface associated with the at least one pod includes an extension arm coupled to the base of the spindle. 5. The system of claim 4, further comprising a plurality of pods, each of the pods including an extension arm coupled to a base of a spindle. 6. The system of claim 4, further comprising a biasing element coupled to the extension arm, the biasing element returning the at least one pod to an initial configuration after activation of the at least one pod. 7. The system of claim 1, further comprising a motor powered by an energy source, the motor operable to move the pod tray relative to the actuator. 8. The system of claim 7, further comprising a regulator, operably coupled to the motor, the regulator operable to allow a user to control one of: activation frequency and activation duration of the at least one pod. 9. A system for diffusing one or more volatile compounds included in a volatile compound mass, the system comprising: a base;a pod tray, carried by the base;one or more pods carried by the pod tray, the pods each having a housing holding a volatile compound mass, the volatile compound mass and the housing being moveable relative to one another, whereby moving the housing and the volatile compound mass relative to one another causes a volatile compound to be diffused;each of the one or more pods having an actuating surface associated therewith;a sloped ramp, carried by the base; anda spindle, slidably received within the housing, the spindle including a base and a cap, the volatile compound mass carried between the base and the capwherein movement of the pod tray relative to the base causes the actuating surface of the one or more pods to engage the sloped ramp to cause the housing and the volatile compound mass of the one or more pods to move relative to one another. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the actuating surface associated with the one or more pods includes an extension arm coupled to the base of the spindle. 11. The system of claim 10, further comprising a plurality of pods, each of the pods including an extension arm coupled to a base of a spindle. 12. The system of claim 10, further comprising a biasing element coupled to the extension arm, the biasing element returning the one or more pods to an initial configuration after activation of the one or more pods.
