No it does not, siphonage is due to inbalanced pressure or incorrect atmospheric pressure in a geyser

What happens to speed of water in a pipe if the diameter of the pipe is decreased?
Assuming that the pressure remains at a constant, reducing the diameter of the pipe will increase the water flow. On the contrary, increasing the diameter would cause the water to flow at a much slower rate.
How can you get water from the crown of a siphon?
Install an inline canister at the bend and the siphon can draw water through it to an elevation above the water source. Stop the siphon flow with a shutoff valve and empty a small amount of the water from the canister and then close it back airtight. When the siphon flow valve is opened the weight of the water in the long leg of the siphon can draw the air out and once the line is purged, the canister is ready to be emptied again. AUTOSIPHON (R) company has designed one valve which can do this.
Can a hot water heater siphon to cold water faucet?
Yes
How do you get salt out of a water bottle with out tipping it?
Add some water, then siphon it out.
What is the benefit of a Siphon?
A siphon enables the animal to squirt water, and move quickly by jet propulsion. Squids do this if they need a quick burst of speed, to grab prey or escape, and scallops use it to swim up and around, for example (look it up on YouTube, it looks really nonsensical!).
What does the incurrent siphon and appear adapted to do in a clam?
The incurrent siphon is a tube that water flow into which allows respiration, reproduction, locomotion and feeding. Locomotion is achieved by expulsion of water.
What are the clam's siphons names?
The clam has two siphons. The excurrent siphon (which expels water and waste out of the clam) and the incurrent siphon (which brings oxygen and food and water into the clam).
How much water will a twelve inch pipe move per second?
Depends on the diameter of the pipe and the speed at which the water travels through it.
Can you make a lawn mower into a water pump or powered siphon?
Probably, but why bother? Just buy a pump or siphon ready made.
Is a water hose with running water a siphon?
If the end of the hose is running in a pool of water, yes
Is a jet propulsion is gas?
No it's water released out of the Siphon.
How does difference in height affect the ability of water to siphon?
it doesn't
