  2. Siphon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon

    For example, if the tube from the upper reservoir to the top of the siphon has a much larger diameter than the taller section of tube from the lower reservoir to the top of the siphon, the shorter upper section of the siphon may have a much larger weight of liquid in it, and yet the lighter volume of liquid in the down tube can pull liquid up ...

  3. Siphon tubes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon_tubes

    The simplest siphon tubes are operated by simply filling the tube with water (by immersion in the canal, or other means), keeping one end in the canal and with the other end sealed, placing it in the area to be irrigated. The seal can then be removed and the water will siphon transferring the water from the submerged higher end to the lower end.

  4. Gasparo Berti - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasparo_Berti

    Berti built an 11 m lead tube, filled it with water, and sealed both ends. He submerged one end in a basin of water and unsealed it. Though some of the water flowed out, much of it remained, filling the tube to about 10 m (34 feet) [7] above the water level in the basin, the same height as in Baliani's siphon.

  5. Siphon (mollusc) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon_(mollusc)

    Siphons in molluscs are tube-like structures in which water (or, more rarely, air) flows. The water flow is used for one or more purposes such as locomotion, feeding, respiration, and reproduction. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_screw

    The screw pump is the oldest positive displacement pump. [1] The first records of a water screw, or screw pump, date back to Hellenistic Egypt before the 3rd century BC. [1] [3] The Egyptian screw, used to lift water from the Nile, was composed of tubes wound round a cylinder; as the entire unit rotates, water is lifted within the spiral tube to the higher elevation.

  7. Water level (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_level_(device)

    A water level device showing both ends at the same height. A water level (Greek: Aλφαδολάστιχο or (υδροστάθμη) [Alfadolasticho]) is a siphon utilizing two or more parts of the liquid water surface to establish a local horizontal line or plane of reference.

  8. Heron's fountain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heron's_fountain

    The water coming out of the tube may go higher than the level in any container, but the net flow of water is downward. If, however, the volumes of the air supply and fountain supply containers are designed to be much larger than the volume of the basin, with the flow rate of water from the nozzle of the spout being held constant, the fountain ...

  9. Hand pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_pump

    A siphon (or syphon) at its simplest is a bent tube, with one end placed in the water to be moved, and the other end into the vessel to receive the water. The receiving vessel must be at a lower level than the supplying vessel. [9] Water will always try to find its lowest level.
