It doesn't create a vacuum. I can't give a great explanation, but its because there are pressure differences between one side and anther. Where the liquid is coming from has to be higher up than where the liquid ends up, although there can be ups and downs in between the two points.

When will siphon will fail to work?

Siphons will fail to work when the liquid being transferred reaches a level equal to the highest point of the siphon. At this point, air will enter the tube, breaking the siphon effect and stopping the flow of liquid.


Why does the liquid move into the siphon when air is removed from the siphon by the pipette?

When air is removed from the siphon by the pipette, the atmospheric pressure pushes the liquid into the siphon to fill the vacuum created. This creates a pressure difference between the two ends of the siphon, causing the liquid to flow into it.


How does a bell siphon work to regulate water flow in an aquaponic system?

A bell siphon in an aquaponic system works by creating a vacuum that allows water to flow out of the grow bed once it reaches a certain level. When the water level rises, it fills the bell siphon tube, creating a siphon effect that quickly drains the water until the level drops below the siphon's opening. This cycle helps regulate the water flow in the system, preventing overflows and ensuring proper circulation for the plants and fish.


What laws of Physics allows a siphon to work?

A siphon is technically powered by gravity. Once a tube is flowing, if there is more volume of fluid being dropped to a lower level, the gravity can take over and continue the flow. From the fluid escaping from the outbound side, it develops a negative pressure on the other side that continues to supply the fluid to drop with, and continuously take advantage of the gravitational weight. The friction of the fluid will eventually stop the siphon, but if the tube is dropping down low enough from the original liquid source, the extra gravity force can keep it going forever.


A simple device for moving liquids over obstacles without a pump?

One simple device to move liquids over obstacles without a pump is a siphon. A siphon works by creating a vacuum that pulls the liquid up and over the obstacle, allowing it to flow continuously. Simply fill the siphon tube with liquid, ensuring the end of the tube is lower than the liquid source, and gravity will do the rest.

Can you siphon water uphill?

No, you cannot siphon water uphill because gravity pulls the water downward, making it impossible for the siphon to work against gravity.

Need advice on how to siphon gas 97 GMC?

The best, fastest and easiest way is to let the pump siphon it for you directly from the big tanks. Go to your local gas station and pay, then the pump will do all the work for you. :-)

How do you fix the siphon in your septic tank?

If you are having trouble with a bell siphon, you will need to replace it with a Flout dosing device. The Flout does not need a level tank to work correctly, only level water. And you don't need to replace the tank, just the bell siphon. Check this link for pictures. http://www.flout.net/rissyplastics2/id13.html
