3 Ways to Siphon Water - wikiHow
网页2024年9月12日 · Siphoning is a great way of using gravity to move large amounts of water from one location to another. You can empty a pool, clean a fish tank, or prepare rainwater jugs by siphoning. If you are working with fresh water, it’s possible to move water through a siphon using pressure from your mouth.

Siphon | Design & Gravity Fluid Transfer - Thermal Engineering
网页2024年5月25日 · A siphon is a simple yet fascinating device used to transfer liquid from one container to another, typically from a higher elevation to a lower one, without the need for a pump. The operation of a siphon relies principally on the principles of gravity and atmospheric pressure.
How Does a Siphon Work? - Wonderopolis
网页2015年11月24日 · For much of scientific history, scientists have believed that siphons work because of the force of atmospheric pressure. A basic siphon consists of a tube in a larger container that goes up over a hump (the edge of the container) to empty out into a container at a lower level.

Siphon | Harvard Natural Sciences Lecture Demonstrations
网页A siphon is a device that allows the transfer of a fluid from one reservoir to a second at a lower level even though the first part of the journey is up-hill. How it works: A siphon is effectively an inverted U-tube with unequal length tubes. The asymmetry means that there is a pressure difference between the ends;
