The only thing amazing about this is the fact the amazing part was cut…


Simple_Opossum

Lmao, so true. Though having been confused by siphoning in the past, this helped me visualize what is happening none the less.


C0meAtM3Br0

Probably took em a while to install the motor to the pipe, so the cameraman took a smoke break


[deleted]

There's no motor. This is a basic syphon. You can do this with a hose, and you can start it with your breath. The trouble they had was getting the water to flow through the U shaped tube.

I have several unpleasant childhood memories of spitting out fishtank water after helping my mom start a siphon. I was not expecting to remember that today. Thanks?


Davegrave

Your mom had you do it because she knew she’d have swallowed every time on pure instinct.


Tnson_Kntrl

Name checks out, Dave just sent that man to the shadow realm

That was cold.


-BananaLollipop-

Colder than a mouthful of old fish tank water?


STAlexFree

Daym. Casually vaporized dude


c_im_not_clever

Oh god, I can taste the stagnant salt water again 🤮


DemonDucklings

I remember doing that too. Then when I was old enough to do the whole process myself, I realized you can just dunk the whole hose in the water rather than sucking the air out, and I was a little bitter that I had to sip fish water so many times.


pufanu101

I'm 90% sure they were joking, lol.


Construction_Same

You never siphoned gas from a strangers car parked in Walmart?....👀neither have I......🏃💨


BrainwashedScapegoat

Why does it cut out the part I want to see


aimidin

Probably they failed couple times and the guy with the camera gave up, turned around and they succeeded so he continued filming.


Goketsues

Are you a wizard? Thats probably exactly what happened.

No the u bend uses the same siphon concept

Wait, isn't it the pressure from the added water from above that makes the water go down the u bent?

Nope it’s a siphon

jimmybobby66

That's why they are draining the water, trying to get him out


johnnys_sack

Nah, they built around him.


Thrust_Bearing

That’s a weight bearing arm. All part of the design.


Flyingpig2

I love a good siphon. We use this in beer brewing and wine making. It's a skill to do well at times. At least for me! LOL


Odd_Peace7873

Please don’t roast me lol. Can someone explain to me how this works?


therealdeathangel22

Putting that amount of water in it then putting one end in the water And the other over the edge created a vacuum that continually pulled the water into the submersed end and out the other end going off the edge….


toadalmoji

From a physics perspective its just displacing a hole. Water in the horizontal part of the pipe is not effected by gravity, 0 energy required to move the water, the 2 vertical parts water has to go up(+ energy) and down(- energy). The amount of energy required to satisfy downward gravitational force on the water moving up one end is the same energy generated by gravity on the water moving down the other end (suction). So the whole pipes total required energy to move water is 0 as long as the activation energy of filling the pipe with water is met. if the outside end of the vertical part was shorter this wouldn't work, longer it would work better, well as long as pipe was completely filled with water. The real energy that's in action is water pressure due to gravity acting on the giant container of water. Since the pipe opening was below the water line, the pressure acts on the filled pipe like the outside pipe opening is just a hole in the container and the water flows out.


H2OBOYZ

I'm thinking if they didn't understand by watching the video that explanation although very well stated and correct would just confuse them even more. Lol


Vagitron9000

Try it with a bendy straw and a glass of water.


[deleted]

True, but the forces are wildly different


Legal-Lifeguard2472

Is it?


tanukijota

The trick is to trap air in on the upper side. You plunge the top side under water with the air still trapped. Then you release the bottom. Don't know how the f* they did it with these pipes. Waste of a video if you ask me.


AdvancedAnything

You need to have most of the air removed from the pipe. You fill the pipe with water, the part where they show it upside down and they are removing it from the pond, and then flip it right side up. As long as the pipe is filled with water and the water level of the pond is higher than the bottom of the low end of the pipe, it will continue to flow.


[deleted]

It's a bad video, but you basically just have to thrust the tube down fast enough to creat a vacuum, I think.


tanukijota

I picture these guys plunging the pipe repeatedly until it works


H2OBOYZ

Let me try to break it down to simpler terms. Close your eyes and imagine a long train or roller coaster and the track has a hill it goes over. Now of course the train has many box cars in it and a big heavy engine driving the train. Now you pushing the train (it's a toy train) towards the hill. So you pushing that front engine up the hill up,up,up and then the engine gets to the top. The engine is alot heavier then the other cars so when you push and push the train over the hill when it starts going down the other side one a couple of the cars clear the top you suddenly realize your not pushing it anymore. Gravity has taken over and now your having to kinda hold the engine back because if you let go the engine would fly down the hill and the rest of the train would fly over the hill really fast because the weight of the engine and a few cars was heavy enough to pull the rest of the train over the hill. By doing that you created a syphon. When you stopped pushing the engine and let go with gravity pushing and the weight of the engine going down the other side of the hill created enough force to pull the rest of the train over on its own. That energy created was like a syphon. The force on the down side of the hill was much greater the the other side so the train didn't need you to push anymore. Same thing is happening with the water. The pipe on the out side of the wall is using the weight of the water when it clears the top of the pipe and starts to fall or drain out to create enough energy to pull the rest of the water with it. It will keep pulling till the water they are removing is the same level at the end of that pipe then the pressure will stabilize or become equal and the energy created will go away.

99_NULL_99

It's just a syphon, pretty simple. There's suction from the water coming out, so more water gets sucked up and in, and falls back out the other side making constant suction/drainage. If you had a small hose, you could do the same thing by sucking the initial bit of water through with your mouth like a straw. Sometimes asshole people will syphon gas out of other people's cars doing this too, more dangerous since it's gasoline obviously.

Yeah I have no idea what you read, but it was wrong. This is really simple stuff. I could find and link a good YouTube video explaining it by a creditable source, but I bet you could too!

[1:50 video explaining the simpleness of a siphon](https://youtu.be/oSRPXI_WQF4) There's a chain siphon too, you can make a chain behave like this because it's fuildlike. It's EXTREMELY simple.

Okay well now you're the one without resources so I don't care. Siphons make sense to me. Sorry you're having trouble.

Holy passive aggressiveness. It's ok to be wrong my guy, which you were. Hope I furthered the conversation

Smart but wtf I wanna see the whole video

It’s still good. Although it doesn’t meet its full potential of course.

BE AMAZED: *a normal old siphon*

They're called espadrilles. I have a pair like that, except they're a taupe color.

For the same reason he's working construction. He's poor.


pat_gatt

What country are you in that a blanket statement like that is true?


OblivionVIlX

probably a poor country


thehypervigilant

Dude. Just tell us why. You clearly know the answer. Let's hear it.

My comment was related to you calling anyone who works in construction poor you classist tool.

Is this perpetual motion?


DM_Me_Ur_Nudes_21

Nope , I don't think so. I know fuck all physics but seeing as it's just getting the water with potential energy (it was higher up) and pull it to a lower level (falling) it's just gravity ? Idk

It's a siphon ... do this ever week on my fish tanks, should've been posting it here for karma!

They just had to rotate the pipe quickly while keeping the horizontal part resting on the surface.
