The traditional theory for centuries was that gravity pulling the liquid down on the exit side of the siphon resulted in reduced pressure at the top of the siphon. Then atmospheric pressure was able to push the liquid from the upper reservoir, up into the reduced pressure at the top of the siphon, like in a barometer or drinking straw, and then ...
Soda siphons. As early as 1790, the concept of an "aerosol" was introduced in France, with self-pressurized carbonated beverages. [1] The modern siphon was created in 1829, when two Frenchmen patented a hollow corkscrew which could be inserted into a soda bottle and, by use of a valve, allowed a portion of the contents to be dispensed while maintaining the pressure on the inside of the bottle ...
The siphon is part of the mantle of the mollusc, and the water flow is directed to (or from) the mantle cavity. A single siphon occurs in some gastropods. In those bivalves which have siphons, the siphons are paired. In cephalopods, there is a single siphon or funnel which is known as a hyponome.
The design was first reported by McCarthy (1934). [2] As shown in the diagram, a stoppered reservoir is supplied with an air inlet and a siphon.The pressure at the bottom of the air inlet is always the same as the pressure outside the reservoir, i.e. the atmospheric pressure.
In many venturis, the column on the left has fluid in it (>), while only the column on the right is a siphon (<). If p < 0 {\displaystyle p<0} and g < 0 {\displaystyle g<0} , we observe that the pressure head is again positive, predicting that the venturi meter shown above would look the same, only upside down.

Cross section of a Pythagorean cup being filled: at B, it is possible to drink all the liquid in the cup; but at C, the siphon effect causes the cup to drain. A Pythagorean cup looks like a normal drinking cup, except that the bowl has a central column in it, giving it a shape like a bundt pan. The central column of the bowl is positioned ...
Pressure in water and air. Pascal's law applies for fluids. Pascal's principle is defined as: A change in pressure at any point in an enclosed incompressible fluid at rest is transmitted equally and undiminished to all points in all directions throughout the fluid, and the force due to the pressure acts at right angles to the enclosing walls.
